The Lakes Resort Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"We have been staying at the Lakes Resort when visiting Cairns for the last 15 years. We have stayed in the one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom apartments and each time it has felt like home away from home. Our rooms are always clean, beautifully decorated. The only suggestions I have would be to add a coffee machine to the kitchen for an extra touch of indulgance and a selection of board games in the family apartments."

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good

"Well, what can you say, you pay for what you get, it's a good hotel, the staff are lovely, unfortun1tely, the room is not what on the advertised photos, we have been here for four days and never had our room done, towels replaced etc, the room door doesn't have a chain or extra security on it, also they are a little run down, if you on a budget it's a good place to stay, bed is very comfortable, I would probably stay here again."
