8.8/10 Excellent! (745 reviews)

My family enjoyed our stay at Coral Sands. The location was great and the unit has everything we needed! Only 20 min Uber from downtown Cairns and airport. A number of restaurants within walking distance with great food and views of the beach. There was also a convenience store across the street. Lots of wildlife - wallabys, kookaburras, and bats - so cool!! We also booked the Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail trip through them which was an awesome half day outing through the rainforest. Just a heads up, they do offer beach towels for a $5 rental. It was worth it for us not to pack bulky beach towels but just know there is a charge.
