"The hotel is beautiful, very clean, room good size and very comfortable. Excellent location, right on the esplanade, close to Marina, shops, restaurants etc. yet quiet, although I was on the 11th floor. Not sure what the lower levels would be like. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay here ..."

Cairns Colonial Club Resort
"A great stay! Was not walkable to the main esplanade is the only real complaint. Staff was super quick and helpful when our smoke detector went off in the middle of the night. The pool area looked great, especially for families, but we did not use due to timing of other activities."
