Great Barrier Reef hotel rooms a the Independent

"Staff were all very friendly. Ice cream upon arrival was delicious 😋 Great location. I will be back with partner for sure! Highly recommend "

"We had a lovely stay at the Shangri La The Marina cairns. Great location, close to restaurants and entertainment, able to walk everywhere. Highly recommended."

"Check-in great. Check out time of 11:00am was good but our access card expired at 10:30am!? Noisy rubbish removal at 7:00am near our room was poor"

"Tge room was well maintained and cleaned every day. The flamingo bar is a great way to start and finish the day, the bar meals from there were always beautiful. Pools are well maintained )could have been a little warmer for time of the year) laundry onsite is kept very clean "

"Great location. Clean and tidy rooms. Staff are very welcoming. "

"Great location and the staff were excellent. Spacious room and very comfortable bed. Shower over the (slippery) bath difficult for older travellers but the shower itself was excellent. Maybe a bit more storage would be good for longer stays. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. "

"Hotel staff were incredible"

"Great stay for a large family group. Really wonderful staff at every corner of the property. Comfortable large rooms, good food, amazing pool options, right on the beach. It is really nice for families and groups, plenty of places to 'meet up'. Only cons was it is missing a little kids play area (seems like it should have one) and the day spa is independent so you couldn't get Marriott points or room charge at the spa."

"This was our second stay at the Crystalbrook Riley and if was amazing both times, the facilities and staff are fantastic. We highly recommend the Crystalbrook Riley."
