"The apartment is very well presented with good consideration to its tropical style. We didn't have time to make rhe most of the pools but did try a couple of them. The variety made it great for exploring for our kids. It was quiet in the unit. Isabell was an attentive host via messaging throughout. A great base to explore Cairns and surrounds. We would stay again."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, with a big double balcony overlooking the esplanade. The bed was comfy and housekeeping were attentive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was well maintained - small but ideal for cooling off after a long day exploring the area. Kitchen facilities were as advertised, no cooker but a microwave and full size fridge. Muddys cafe over the road is ideal for a coffee, breakfast or evening bite."
