Top Crater Lakes National Park Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect! Tons of restaurants, beautiful views of harbor, and great walking areas. So close to reef terminal for easy water tour departures. Room was big, clean and I loved the big refrigerator in the room. (Laundry was amazingly inexpensive for luxury hotel- $40 for 20 pieces) Hotel could use some maintenance (paint touch-ups in rooms, new pool furniture, cleaning/painting of roof and awning areas, etc) but staff was excellent and very accommodating! I would go back."
