Despite the fact we had a free upgrade and were given access to the wi fi network, which was pointless when you have to sit around the pool to get it to work as it will not connect in your room. Good size rooms and facilities were good. It is not close to anything so you need to use taxi or drive to everything.
Spent two nights here before flying out of Cairns with my partner. Rooms are clean and tidy with basic amenities and the bed was very comfortable. The pool was nice and clean but a bit old and in need of a little restoration. We had dinner at the Resturant and I recommend the buffet, which I believe was great value. Staff was pleasant, friendly and helpful. Overall a nice stay and very affordable. I will definitely be staying here again.
I found this hotel to be a great place to stay, I went with my 4 kids and stayed for 2 nights, so we could go to the movies, and do local activities with the kids, like muddy playground etc, the hotel was ver clean throughout and we really enjoyed the tropical breakfast
Had a late overnight stay here enroute to Townsville. The staff were pleasant, the room was suitable and very clean with no mould smells that can be common in the tropics at this time of year. $16 to $20 taxi fare to/from the airport although they do offer an airport drop off service for $15 pp. The pool area looked clean and relaxing. This property is old but it is very well maintained is a very fair price per night and gives a nice sense of being in the tropics. No WiFi in rooms just 15 free mins in the reception area. More time can be purchased.
Overall a very good place to stay and excellent value for money. The hotel does have a bus travelling to / from town at set times but if you hire a car or even a bike before you get there that's even better.
The hotel is quite a distance from town and you will need to organsie transport or use the courtesy bus. The whole resort looks pretty tired and it feels as if hundreds of rooms are 'packed in' into the facility. Due to the high room density, there is a fair amount of after hours noise from the other guests and quite often you will see the shadow of a guest passing right in front of your window which can be a little disconcerting. The rooms themselves (at least the one we were in) have undergone refurbishment in the last few years and they are quite new and comfortable. The pools are pretty good, however they are not heated, so while the air temp may be a pleasent 27 degrees, the water might be 20 degrees. The restaurant was also disappointing so we dined out every night. (but again as you are not near tthe city centre this is problematic).
