8/10 Good
"After reading sone of the reviews I was a little anxious but the place is great. The staff are very accommodating, breakfast is a treat, and the on site food would put other hotels to shame ( and well priced ). The outside pool is generous with plenty of sun and for those who like to hide, shade as well. I really have nothing to complain about and would pick the hotel again if ever I am visiting Cairns. BTW, location was great too!"
