“I appreciate the vibrant social scene at this Cairns hotel, underscored by its central Esplanade location near attractions like the Lagoon and the Night Market. The hotel's modern design extends to its environmental practices, including Footprint Free Stay, something that aligns well with contemporary values. It's a luxury stay, yet the loud air conditioning reported by some guests is worth noting.”
