Good apartment for a large family
Good apartment for large family. The rooms were pretty good and clean. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained. Overall a very good experience staying here. The reception staff also gives discount coupons for cairns attractions like thec rocodile tour etc so make sure to ask for that.
One small shortcoming was not having the flexibility to extend the checkout. We requested for checkout to be moved by just one hour but received a stern no and they wanted us to vacate at 10 AM sharp. Keeping that aside it was worth the money.

Poor water pressure in bathroom. Could do with rail to assist out of spa bath. Poor cooking pans, need upgrade.
Front Door very hard to open. Good laundry facilities. Floors not very clean. Wi fi c unable to connect last 2 days. Kitchen areas need clean. Bed was small but the sheets were so big.

We were impressed by the apartment set up. Kitchen set up well, generous wardrobes with plenty of hangers. The outlook on to the Esplanade was lovely.

The room was very nice but that's where the good part ends. The reception people are very hard to contact. We had to sit in the car in the rain for 1 hour before we could check in...why do they need a 2 hour lunch? They don't keep the posted hours so we were unable to get pool towels or even enter the pool area...had to wash our bath towels ourselves. Parking was very tight- we were given the wrong spot for our whole stay. I'd recommend somewhere else

Unit was small but clean and tidy. Specifically rang after making booking to advise required twin beds and advised no problem but arrived to find 1 bed but they did make up a room with twin beds.The room was on the Water Street frontage and with a new construction opposite the noise of trucks etc started before 5am. Realise this is not the fault of resort but best to stay away from street front units.TV hardly worked as WIFI kept dropping out even on Free to air TV.

A nice stay in the quiet part of town
The apartment is located at the quiet end of the Esplanade. The main tourist area is about half an hour walk away, however, here are cafes nearby. It is a nice walk in the evenings while it is cooler.
The hotel has a nice sized pool which has shade. Overall, it is a nice place to stay. Thank you.
