Location is very good on esplanade close to restaurants but not too noisy. Rooms were very basic with no TV in bedroom and minimal furnishings. Pool and exterior are showing age and need attention.
We had a great wonderful time at the Cairns Aquarius. We had a 3 bedroom apartment. It was fully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and was very spacious and bright. It is close to the ESplanade and great restaurants. The checkin and checkout process was smooth and the manager was available by email for a small issue we had.

This place has the most amazing views on three sides - you can watch the sun rise over the ocean and the sun set over the mountains. Place is older but extremely clean and has everything you need.

The beautiful vista, sunrise and sunset, the nearby Boardwalk, city lights, views and proximity to everything as well as the RSL that have great food at reasonable prices, next door. Beds were lovely and comfortable and quiet, once the doors to the patio were closed. It was a perfect accommodation for us.

The 2 bedroom apartment was very clean and comfortable with plenty of room to move around. The view from the 13th floor was amazing. Close to shops and places to eat out.
