Top Michaelmas Cay Hotel Reviews

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and nice bathroom. The resort itself is beautiful and has a lot of covered walking paths to get from the lobby to the rooms, pools, and restaurants, helpful when it rains on and off a lot in Cairns. Breakfast buffet was really good, wish it was built into the price though. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, particularly one night with very noisy neighbours at 2:30am. Security came by right away to tell them off. Loved our experience here at the resort. Only downside is the location, a bit far from the main part of Cairns so we Ubered a lot but the price of the accommodation definitely made up for money spent Ubering"

Crystalbrook Riley

10/10 Excellent

"Overall the hotel and the staff were great. Food and drink options were also great. The location and proximity to things to do in Cairns were fantastic. We rented a car to get around. But we only got it so that we can drive out to Port Douglas, and maybe just around town. But you definitely don't need one. If you do rent A car know that the parking right outside of the hotel is free. No need to pay for additional parking. If I had to have one critique, it would be that the pictures on the website are misleading from the height of the Tower hotel rooms. It could be that it was during a certain time of year but the perceived ocean views were more like mud views with ocean behind the mud. I would definitely stay here again no ifs, andsc or buts about it."

Pullman Cairns International

8/10 Good

"Great central place to stay with the wharf very close and the casino just across the road. Rooms that have been renovated are lovely, the ones that haven't been are very outdated and damaged and even though we booked 2 the same had different size beds, tiny TV's, no balcony furniture, bath in one and not the other, and then smelled mouldy. Staff were very obliging and upgraded our rooms due to the condition and smell to the amazing rooms. Buffet breakfast was nice, lots to choose from and always been refreshed and refilled. Parking was an extra daily fee, and you can go in and out away times as you needed. The main foyer was clean and inviting with a tourist desk to book if required. The gym was basic but usable. Pool was very clean with loads of deck chairs."
