"Beautiful place, the food was not that expensive and they even have a small store in case you need to buy something. There are a place to rent snorkeling gear which it’s totally worth it cause the corals and the fish at the beach are amazing, you can even swim with turtles"
"The room was super spacious, big comfy bed, really nice bathroom, had everything we needed and there was a pool! Also, there was a shared kitchen next to the pool, if you wanted to go all out and cook your own food, otherwise, you had the necessities in your room. Super lovely staff also, very friendly and lovely to talk to."
"Great location, walkable to downtown but still quiet. Aidan was extremely helpful when we needed a hand booking outings and wanted an extra hotplate and luggage scale"

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Hilton Cairns. Perfect location. We stayed on the 8th floor we water views, which gave us access to a seperate room offering a small Buffet breakfast every morning and canapés, beer and wine in the evening. Absolutely loved this option as the dinning room downstairs is full and the food, drinks and a Harpist on the Saturday was a lovely touch. Comfy bed was a big bonus too."
"Balcony good but trip hazard going out room big step from room doorway.
Cup rings on bedsides from previous guests so not cleaned that well.
Good view on Esplanade but very noisy at night from people partying on the esplanade. Hospital close so got helicopter noise. "
"The bathrooms could be modernised however in saying that the rooms were wonderful and clean, well equipped. The staff were always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a clean and refresh of towels and cleaning products like laundry powder and dishwashing liquid midway through our stay (despite only staying 6 days) which was extremely helpful and nice. The hotel itself is situated in a great location; walking distance to the pier, night markets, lagoon, casino, countless restaurants and shops."
"We only stayed one night but it was really comfortable and clean. The shower was great and they had nice little touches for convenience. We arrived late after a flight and were able to order food at the bar, which was really tasty. I’d easily stay here again."
"Hotel and staff were nice. Location was about 30 mins walking from the pier and 8 min drive from airport. This meant it was a relatively quiet area (sometimes planes overhead).
Pluses: a shuttle runs to the center 4 times a day, (unheated) pool on site, and free parking lot off street
Negatives: only one outlet in the entire room (under a table). Mattress was a little lumpy and bathrooms a little dated - but not terrible."
"We had a wonderful stay at Shangri-La Cairns, and while the hotel itself is in an excellent location and is both beautiful and comfortable, what truly made the experience exceptional was the outstanding service from the staff.
From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, and it was clear that nothing was too much trouble. The staff’s friendliness and care consistently elevated our stay and made everything feel effortless and well looked after.
We also enjoyed the breakfast and the 5pm canapés, which were a lovely touch to start and end each day. Our room was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, but it was the exceptional service that truly defined our experience.
Overall, it was a genuinely memorable stay, made special by the incredible staff, and we would happily return."
