When I booked this Apartment I checked Trip Advisor and some of the reviews were not flattering at all. My Apartment and staff expirience was brilliant. I under stand some comments about the bath tubs but I found it to be quirky. I will definitely be staying there if it's available for my next visit to Cairns. The location was... More

We stayed here for 5 days over Australia day 2012 and I can highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for something minimalistic, for a good price in a great location. Postitives: Location is awesome - lagoon directly over the road, reef marina a 2 min walk, great views over the ocean (ask for an ocean facing room, we... More

We stayed a week here over Christmas through an on-line deal pay for 5 nights and get 2 free. For a centrally located resort and for a one bedroom with ocean views we were very impressed getting a weeks accomodation for $900!!. The place was clean and yes there was a problem with ants as I'd read in previous reviews... More

This self contained apartment block is in the best location in Cairns. It is situated on the Esplanade above many good restaurants. It was our third time to Cairns and our first time at Breakfree. We found the location ideal, being a short walk to Woolworths for supplies. The one bedroom we were in was set up a little weird... More

We had the same room as the previous reviewer - 6th floor, and agree with all her comments. Were a bit disappointed that we didnt have more of an ocean view as well, as that is what we booked. But, the view of the mountains and out to the marina was nice as well. Thought the glass shower overlooking the... More

I stayed for 5 nights with my son in October. We had an apartment on the 6th floor, positioned more to the back of the complex facing south. I requested an ocean view, and I did get it, just not as much as I wanted. Having said that we could see the Cairns public pool area, part of the marina... More

I stayed at the Royal Break Free for 7 nights this month with my girlfriend. The rooms were clean, great view from the 6th floor(and any room from level 2 and up), the girls on reception couldn't have been more helpful with any requests. The amenities were clean and well maintained. The location is the key. Directly across from the... More

I read the reviews before I went and was bothered I must admit. Is this the best hotel that I have stayed at..no. Is it the cleanest ...no. However, the location is amazing. Everything that you could want was in a block of the hotel. The staff were great and service excellent. The lock on my bathroom door failed and... More

Upon arrival we were warmly greeted. Everything went downhill from there. When we opened the door we were shocked to find a mother and her young child resting on the bed! After apologising and returning to the front desk, we were asked to take a seat while they sorted things out. This took some time and included a staff member... More

Just wanted to say that we are sorry for the bad experience on check-in by this guest. September 2011 was when one of our two fabulous receptionists was very new to the job and the industry. Both are very capable and well trained now and we receive heaps of praise from many guests about how friendly and helpful our receptionists... More
