The best hotel stay I have had in many years. I regularly travel for work (this was a personal trip) and could not fault this location. I loved the lap pool each morning, the staff upgraded my room to a glorious sea view room, it is literally in the heart of Cairns CBD. Rooms are well appointed, clean and everything runs seamlessly.

The Crystalbrook speciality is woke virtue signalling with no substance. They claim to be saving the world but neglect guest service and facilities. They have a tablet full of word salad instead of a compendium but it doesn't tell you how to operate the very poor lighting or other room features. Yes, the lighting needs instructions! The only option there is to not be disturbed is via the tablet, choices are: "for rest of the day or rest of your stay". No more signs like do not disturb or make up my room, that would be too convenient for guests. Even when you call them to not to make up your room, that instruction does not make it to staff, they turn up anyway. They do not accept the legal tender of Australia because "germs" but they don't spend any time removing germs from common places like door handles, elevators etc. (They do not mention how much they profit from charging transaction fees). We booked a harbour view king. The room was very small and had 2 king singles pushed together. We asked for a room with a real king bed and were moved accordingly. The next room was much larger with a lounge area and well appointed. The illuminated light switches next to the bed never dim. The hotel is in a convenient location and is generally comfortable and the staff are polite and helpful.

We booked a sea view room. It’s nicely appointed, clean and everything you need. The bathroom is modern and had consumables available for us to use. What they don’t tell you is your room is in the Esplanade Tower. Boom, boom, boom. You’re right above a night club. Boom,boom, boom. Hope you didn’t come here to relax. Boom, boom, boom. The sound goes on all evening. And while it is a sea view, what you actually see are mud banks in the distance and the roof of the nightclub off your tiny balcony. It’s ok, but it’s not premium.

Modern hotel right in the middle of Esplanade. Of note- no beach there- only mud. For beach experience you would have to drive to Trinity beach which is 20 min away. But this area is central for everything else- food, excursions and shopping.
