We stayed in apartment 64 on the 10th floor, it had the most amazing views over the ocean. You can see Green Island in the distance. Fantastic place to have a drink on the balcony at sunset. The fruit bats fly by at this time of the evening. The apartment was very clean and modern and free Wi Fi a... More

The apartment was in a fantastic location central to everything. However none of the balcony doors locked which was not good for safety of a night or when you were out and when we rang to ask about it they were not really interested. It would have been nice to be told the spas had been disconnected when we booked.... More

Dear Twilight, As evidenced in previous Trip Advisor reviews and photographs, Apartment 29 is a beautifully renovated apartment. Quite stunning really. Some points I would like to make in regard to your revue which is quite misleading. 1. In regard to house keeping I would make the following observation. As with all of our apartments, one hour prior to your... More

We stayed in apartment 27 on 4th floor. Loved the decor which is elegant and tasteful. It was great having breakfast on the balcony looking out over the water with a grandstand view of boating, jet skiing and parasailing activities. The location is central giving us easy walking distance to a wide variety of restaurants and attractions. The complex has... More

Dear Lorna, thank you so much for your excellent revue. Just brilliant that you and your family enjoyed your holiday at Cairns Aquarius. Your apartment is definitely one of my favourites.

The apartment was beautiful. Newly refurbished. Big enough and comfortable for a family. On the mezzanine floor we had great views of the garden, then across the board walk to the ocean from the large balcony. Friends on the 10th floor had magnificent views. Great location, in walking distance to shops,restaurants. markets, board walk and marina area. The kids enjoyed... More

Aquarius is a nice and clean place right on the Esplanade close to everything with excellent views over the lagoon and the mountains. Our two-bedroom apartment was spacious and nicely furnished, however the bed in the master bedroom was a bit too small for two people. There was no reception, all queries were responded to via phone, some staff leave... More

No major problems with my apartment (just minor ones), which was spacious, modern and clean. It's not luxury but you'd have to pay more for luxury. It's a perfect location opposite the water but close to everything. We made good use of the balcony but it got a lot of noise from the RSL airconditioners (Apt 22 on the 3rd... More

Really enjoyed our stay in Cairns. Th Apartment had everything we needed. Really great location on the Esplanade right where everything is happening. Excellent if you have kids, 300m from Muddy's playGround and also very close to the lagoon. Would highly recommend this place
