10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel in a great location, quite big but had a personal touch as the staff were very helpful. Although we were on a floor that had not been refurbished, the room was clean, large and had everything we needed, would recommend staying here."

Hilton Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous location, we were upgraded to the waterview room. Had lunch at nearby Dundees- tried crocodile and kangaroo. The Moroccan mackerel was great. The breakfast at the Hilton was excellent- fresh squeezed fruit juice- diy was very refreshing."

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"Well, what can you say, you pay for what you get, it's a good hotel, the staff are lovely, unfortun1tely, the room is not what on the advertised photos, we have been here for four days and never had our room done, towels replaced etc, the room door doesn't have a chain or extra security on it, also they are a little run down, if you on a budget it's a good place to stay, bed is very comfortable, I would probably stay here again."

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location, great amenities and very helpful staff. The rooms were serviced daily and items were replenished according to your preferences. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of food and drink and was good value for money. The hotel room was very clean. Only downside was that some elements of the hotel look a bit tired (eg the outside walls, some of the paintwork and soft furnishings) and could do with a refresh. Overall would recommend and would stay again."

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"Quite clean and spacious. I disliked the bed having wheels. You couldn’t sit up on the bed and lean on the wall. The beds kept rolling away."
