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.
Bernadette, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great in value

The apartment is big with everything you need. Good in value and would be greater if a proper duvet (instead of a blanket) is provided.

Lynley, 3-night trip

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.
Mark, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

I loved the layout of the property. The property requires renovation including the balcony. The paint is terrible.
Eamon Brian, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very dirty patio area. Kitchen very basic. Washing machine and dryer shoved into bathroom. Bed was comfortable and well made. Man on reception was very polite and helpful.
Meryl, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Apartment was very dated. Mattress was deeply indented on one side so was uncomfortable.
5-night trip

6/10 Good

The apartment was dated and we had to clean the spa bath with the shower over it because it was very dirty before we could use it. Also we could not walk around without shoes as the floor was dirty even though it looked clean.
Denise, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Pratik, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Patricia, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Shabby and not very chic

Largely residential apartment block. The room I was given was in very poor condition and not very clean. No flyscreens on the sliding doors or windows so the a/c has to be on to get any air. Poor communication from management/reception about pretty much everything. Note for future customers - don’t return your keys to reception before you get your car out of the car park. Particularly if it is out of hours. I had to wake up a resident to help me get back down to my car.
