8.8/10 Excellent! (789 reviews)

Our stay at this hotel in Cairns was wonderful. The place is beautiful and you can see different animals around, which makes the experience even more special. The service was 10/10, especially thanks to Sarah, who was very kind and helpful to us. The only downside is that the facilities are a bit old, but overall it was a great experience.

Staff are great, they went above and beyond. First time staying at an 18+ resort and better than expected. Great to relax by the pool and read in silence. Will look to come back again.
