Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic amenities, and great location"

Park Regis City Quays

8/10 Good

"The room is comfortable and had everything I needed. It’s also in a great location with just a 10 minute walk to the day and night markets, and the reef fleet terminal for meeting tour companies. My main issue was at check in. A code for the lock box was not texted as promised. And when I arrived after 8 pm after the reception staff had gone off duty, I was unable to get my phone to connect to the phone number on the door. I waited until another guest took pity on me and called for me. Lock boxes are mainly the stuff of Air BnBs, and this place was advertised as a hotel."
