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.

Location of the hotel was great for where we wanted to be. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Room was spacious and nice bathroom. Nice restaurants around to choose from off the marina. Would have been nice to have breakfast included but the buffet was very good.

Lovely location and views

We stayed at the Horizon Suite - the views are beautiful. Service at the reception was also excellent. A fair few things to improve on: 1. The hotel furniture/washroom fixtures etc all seem very dated and need immediate upkeep. Even very quick fixes like chipped drain blockers seem to be missed 2. The bedroom of the horizon suite was really small; much smaller than other suites I have stayed in and didn't have a TV or even enough plug points to charge electronics. It's one of the hotel's more premium rooms so it definitely should have these amenities. 3. The pool area washrooms similarly need urgent renovation - there were towels scattered all over the floor which made it look more like a public toilet than a Shangri-la washroom! 4. Service at the breakfast restaurant was subpar. We had ordered the barista made coffee and were in a rush - the lady serving us seemed annoyed to have the extra work. Even really simple things like bringing the bill to our table Vs asking us to go to the counter mid breakfast to sign for our coffees..
