Top Reef Teach Hotel Reviews

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, easy check in and out, good room service option and immaculately clean room, very happy with our stay. "

Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely big pool with good drinks & food, especially lunch. Activities for kids in the afternoon were really nice. Breakfast had good choices. Limited sunchairs around the pool, but I did like the beanbags. Great location just a short walk from restaurant and shops. Gym is very small and one of the machines did not work properly. Lovely stay overall. "

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Being a Vegetarian the options were less as I don’t eat egg aswell. Hence the price looks to be high for vegetarian. Since there was limited veg options I had to order outside. Day 1 I got proper plates but day 2 it was reduced to paper plates and wooden cutlery. I felt this was a bit insulting "

Crystalbrook Riley

10/10 Excellent

"Paper Crane was terrific and well run. CC’s was still outstanding how it is run which is very Professional. A huge appreciation to Francisco as he Welcomed both my wife and myself with Great Professionalism. As soon as the bags were out of the Uber he was wheeling them in and then help check us in. Now that’s Great Service. Crystalbrook Riley ……. Fantastic!"
