Dislike We had to pay a parking fee to have our car in their car park each night. We chose this property for the convenience of being only walking distance to the Esplanade. As its all paid car parks in the city of cairns... Otherwise we were smitten with the property itself. Plus they charged an extra $100 per night as a security bond on our room. We are still waiting. 6 days later fir it to be deposited back into our bank. They said it only takes 2 days.

The location is outstanding and the restaurant is superb. The property is gorgeous. There was not enough space to hang damp towels or damp swimsuits and stingersuits, but we were given fresh towels whenever we requested them. There were two screws sticking out of the bathroom wall that looked like they may have held up a towel rack.

Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in a great position and we had a marina view room. There was an over the bath shower in our room which was awkward to get in and out of. Beds were comfortable. Pool area was well laid out, plenty of loungers but is definitely in need of a refresh

Everyone at the hotel went out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. We had an excellent room which we had upgraded when offered to bid for it. The view was spectacular and we enjoyed the activity of the harbour. Access to the hospitality lounge made life easier for breakfast and drinks and canapes later in the day. Car parking was taken care of by valet parking. An easy hotel to stay in. There was nothing we disliked.
