Everything was so easy and perfect and talk about nice and peaceful with not much traffic like other beach’s. Pay the extra few dollars and go top floor and don’t worry there is a lift. Could invest in a trolley so our luggage could be taken up in a couple of trips from car park .Will be back next ...

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns
My experience was seamless. Reception staff were polite and helpful. Room was neat and tidy. Checkout was swift! The hotel in itself is a little tiered but still in good working order in a great location.

Cairns Harbourside Hotel
Everything was great for the price per day we paid. Looks like on of the older original hotels in Caitns but well cared for and kept. Lovely stay and one of the best ocean views from the 6th floor
