"everything about this property was lovely. only thing, kids could find the gaming console (not that i minded lol) and the ad made it sound like the pool was just outside but infact its a small stroll down the road. still enjoyed our swim etc but was one of the deciding factors to stay here when we thought the pool was right there. But that's nothing major, everything else was as described and beds were comfy. would recommend :) "

Top Clifton Beach Hotel Reviews

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

8/10 Good

"Room is clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Location is good, 5-10 mins walk to night market so not too busy but yet convenient. Right across from aquarium, we did the Night at Aquarium with dinner tour, great experience, learned so much about sea animals from our guide Ruby with delicious dinner afterwards at the adjacent steakhouse. The only negative thing is the sound insulation between rooms are very light, I could hear the neighboring guest stirring a cup of drink clearly at midnight and his/her phone notifications (I guess that’s what it was cuz the same short piece of music would repeat every now and then for 2 hrs😅) Overall we had a nice stay of 4 nights."
