The sea view king room was fairly comfortable. We appreciated the Nespresso machine for our morning coffee fix as well as the private deck overlooking the esplanade. The room was quiet. The bed was a bit too firm for me, and the pillows were too soft. I requested firmer pillows and then they were very hard, so we were unable to find a happy medium. Other than a closet with a few hangers, there was no where else to put our clothing (no drawers). The hotel is conveniently located near the main marine terminal and to the lagoon pool, shops, and restaurants. Most of the staff, particularly at the front desk, were quite friendly. We enjoyed the cocktails at the pool bar as well as lunch at the Backyard.

It’s a shame that the property is not well-maintained, despite having so much potential being in a prime location. The room where we stayed at unfortunately was at the far end of the west or south wing, we had to take 2 lifts that wasn’t connected to get to the room so it wasn’t convenient, but the worst part is that our room was in front of a cleaner closet and was constantly messy, the carpets are very old and smells mouldy, quite unpleasant. On the bright side, the cleaners were very lovely and attentive to our needs, very appreciative of their help during our stay.

The property is in my opinion in the best location of all Hotels in Cairns. So conveniently close to all of the best things to do and places to eat in Cairns. Room was so spacious and well maintained and the staff were excellent. Special mention to Cleaner Joanne and front reception Aldi for going the extra mile and making us feel so welcome and looked after. Will only stay at this hotel any time I come to Cairns no doubt. Thankyou Shangri-La Cairns we loved our stay.
