Supposedly 4 star, more 3 star. Stayed here 5 nights and wouldn't stay again. The room overall was a bit dated and tired looking. When we arrived there was lots of black mould around the bath tub. When we informed staff, it was only partially cleaned and the person on duty had to come up to our room with bleach... More

This is the second time I have stayed here in the last month. Both times I have been able to get a special deal of $90 a night which makes it worthwhile. I would not be so keen if I had to pay full freight which is $120+. You could do a lot better for that price. Whilst it has... More

The location just off the esplanade means all (if not most) rooms get a sea view. The rooms are well equipped and well maintained. Tere are the usual facilities you would expect with a large hotel. We had room service one night and the food was fabulous. The standard of this hotel was so much better than the one in... More

Great pool, fantastic restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Spacious room comfortable bed. The staff from reception, restaurant to room attendants polite and so helpful. We always stay and dine here when in Cairns. More

Comfortable room, don't know what's wrong with the front desk staff, always show their attitude. Worst service ever! More

Not a bad hotel overall, comfy bed, nice pool. Everything else functioned to expectation. I got this one as a mystery hotel and would be unlikely to return because I'd prefer a more central location, but if you're driving a car or using frequent bus tours then this is would make a decent base for your operations - well priced...

I had the opportunity to stay 3 nights at Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns in mid March. The hotel was reasonably priced due to the special deal with Rydges at present - 3 nights for the price of 2. I selected an ocean front room which had a wonderful view of the ocean and the city centre with a small balcony,... More
