This was our second stay at Royal Harbour. We were disapointed on arrival to find we were not on a high floor as requested but our apartment on the 3rd had great views. The reception staff were excellent The cleaning left a lot to be desired, particularly the floors. The bench top oven and microwave are overdue for replacement and... More

Not knowing quite what to expect in Cairns we were immediately taken by the fabulous view from our spacious 1 bedroom apartment but also the privacy on the balcony. Staff were very helpful and friendly, reception desk open all reasonable hours. Our apartment was well fitted out with leather lounges and contempory furnishings. Great little kitchen too and a spa... More

After a favourable 7 night stay three years previously, we chose Royal Harbour again for the four nights at the end of our Queensland holiday. Even though we booked in December, we were disappointed not to be given a room on the north side of the building as we has requested. The apartments are I think, privately owned but this... More

This hotel is very convenient to everything in Cairns. The Night Markets are directly below this hotel, as well as a tour booking office. (They will also book tours for you at reception.) Everything is within walking distance, including bars, restaurants, casino, shops and Marina. Bus stops are right out the front on the esplanade for tour pick-ups. We stayed... More

Stayed in these apartments with my husband for 3 nights for new years. Asked for an ocean view apartment on the highest floor possible to watch new years fireworks and was shoved at the side on level 5. Was told by reception they were fully booked out which was a blatant lie as the car park was obviously very empty... More

Thanks Megan, Ruth and Malcolm for the great customer service, the best we encountered on our holiday and enough to make us return again for the last four days of the holiday. The last room near the pool was great - garden room. A good location, easy access to food, the esplanade and not too far to walk to shops,... More
