"We had room 405, a suite with a living room, and a great view of the ocean. Great room with a very comfortable king bed. On the Esplanade, the heart of Cairns with everything. Very clean, very nice staff, a very nice balcony. I would probably have liked a coffeemaker but here they like the coffee made by pouring hot water , like for tea. Great little coffee shop near the hotel. Maybe from the rooms on lower floors one can hear some Esplanade noise . It’s wonderful to hear the so many Cairns...
