What Guests Loved
Based on 174 reviews
Pros +
- Location & size of the unit was great
- Esplanade water front location. Reasonably spacious rooms.
- We had very limited time in that unit so we were not able to enjoy the pool. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay in the unit because of the space and the two separate bathrooms
Cons -
- It wasn¿t very clean.. definitely needs some updates & basic maintenance. The sheets weren¿t clean & the shower was gross.. new grout needed
- The reception staff were not as hospitable as one would normally expect. As a couple, we have done a lot of travelling in the last 37 years. It is rare to be made to feel that you are almost unwelcome.
- Cant say much because we only stayed for few hours before checking out again in the morning.

LocartionPoolThe main bathroom
The towel rail in the bathroom was broken and falling off the wallThe TV did not have internet access
The pool was great
The unit was sparsely furnished with minimal kitchen equipment.
Location a bit far away from centre. No breakfast was included
The airport noise
I loved the fact it was a home away from home. Walking distance to the CBD and beautiful view of the esplanade...Had all the utilities needed to make my stay with my son comfortable. The two separate bedrooms and bathrooms allowed us privacy and my son loved swimming in the pool. Highly recommended. P.S the cleaning staff was so friendly and was happy to help with any questions we had. He deserves a raise!

Location, roomy, clean, helpful staff
The scenery, nice quiet
Had trouble opening the room door
Pool was nice
Mould all over bathroom and roof in bathroom due to not having a fan. Dirty grout in tiles. Kitchen cupboards had funny smell. Staff never at reception. No option for new bath towels for 4 night stay
Very comfortable, spacious apartment. Well equipped. Close to north end of Esplanade and the mangrove area (great for birdwatching). Lovely lady at reception.
Close to beach and central cairns
Over the week I had to kill 3 small cockroaches not a great add for the apartment
Lovely pool area, nice patio, good kitchenette and friendly staff
Location is a decent half an hour walk from the centre of Cairns
Location
Cleanliness, bathroom shower was poor quality, no exhaust fans in bathrooms.
Apartment was spacious and had everything we needed, we only stayed one night but would definitely stay longer next time, and enjoyed the pool.
Signage to the pool would be helpful or a map in the apartment to show you where the pool and your way around the building would be good.
Location was great
Lack of cleanliness, mould in air conditioning and roof, broken tiles with sharp edges , informed management of injury caused by tiles and was ignored
Great location & really quiet. The staff were really lovely and helpful.
The unit we were allocated was old and tired and desperately needs updating. There was mould on the cement of the outdoor area and the garden was overgrown.
First placed (for 2 nights) in a sub-standard apartment but moved to a better one for final 3 nights.
The first apartment was noisy, sparsely furnished and not well cleaned.
