The hotel was outstanding on every level. Our room was upgrade free to a pool view room, we checked in early, and the pool was amazing. Great team, modern slick, and even a pad in room with all hotel information.

The hotel is very nice, the room incredibly spacious, clean and with an amazing view on the bay, we couldn’t ask for more. The hotel has a beautiful outside area of pool and it has a nice gym. The location is simply amazing, cause it’s very very well located, just in front of where all the tours leave, so it couldn’t be better. Inside the lobby there is a tour operator wich sell tours at a very good price, so everything works perfectly. The staff it’s great, we checked out in the morning but our flight was not leaving till evening and they gave us access to gym, swimming pool and showers. We are very happy with the experience we had and we highly recommend this structure!

This place was large and clean. There were 2 bedrooms, 3 total beds, and (the best part!) 2 bathrooms. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and our late-night arrival was accommodated with no problem. The view from the front porch is of the main street of Palm Cove and the beach beyond. The beach sounds from our porch were great.

Loved our stay at the property. Excellent location in a quiet street, just a short walk to the main strip of restaurants/beach. We felt the accommodation was even bigger and better in person than the photos. The house was homely and well equipped (even had pool toys and kids books which our son loved). Found the check in/out process easy too.

Great location close to everything! The receptionists were all very friendly and very helpful. The environment is very cozy and throughout the stay was so comfortable and relaxing. I would like to give extra credits to the receptionists that helped to get back the toys my two year old son threw over the balcony to the property below us! We appreciated their help so much and we highly recommend them if you want to look for 5 stars accommodation in Cairns! 😊😊😊

The hotel is terrific. The room was lovely. The layout was chic and modern, and cool. The bed was very comfortable. The facilities were great and the staff were very friendly and professional. The little balcony gave good views of the sea, the esplanade and Cairns, and those views were superb from the 9th floor! It's a uniquely furnished/finished hotel that pleases the eye. Parking was easy and undercover.
