We didn't want to stay down on the Esplanade so we were happy with the location though it is a little out of the way. It has a nice pool area and a great Irish Pub with some excellent food and beer choices. The staff there were really great and we were especially impressed with Dave who worked in the... more

This hotel is located between the airport and downtown (10 minutes max). Rooms are standard but noisy mainly because of the road. The staff s really nice and available. They booked us a fabulous cruise to the reef. Breackfast is also good. more

Good place this. Very pleasant, Great atmosphere as you walk in. . Not sure about the restaurant. I had a good meal, my friend's was barely adequate. Reception staff very pleasant, friendly, helpful and efficient. Restaurant staff less efficient. Really pretty little hotel. Nice rooms. Good facilities. At least 20 mins walk into central Cairns but pleasant walk along the... more

This place seemed to suffer a bit of an identity crisis. Was more a pub with rooms rather than rooms with a pub. The first night our room was only a few feet from the deck and we were kept awake until the small hours with the sounds of a pub in full swing. Next day we asked for another... more

Stayed here for one night - our flight arrived late at night so we needed a base for one night in Carins before we headed on. We booked through a travel agent.

We stayed at the Fig Tree for 4 nights in Feb 08. We both loved the place, the staff were very friendly, and the hotel itself had a quaint, homely feel all around, especially in the lovely pool, restaurant and Irish bar area. The bar has a great atmosphere, and is the perfect place to unwind after a long day... more

Charming, low-key place, with great staff, a great restaurant, and spacious rooms. A little far from Cairns itself, and one of the pools is very exposed to the main road, but altogether a nice place. I very much recommend the Malibu Splice Cocktail from the Irish bar, and the restaurant. more
