Positive: Skyrail and historic train, nature, pool in Cairns...
Positive: Skyrail and historic train, nature, pool in Cairns, boardwalk, Botanical Gardens (absolute highlight!!!). Don't miss Emerald Creek Ice Creamery - lots of varieties and very yummy! Dundee's restaurant offered outstanding food and an incredible venue with a massive fish tank to look at while dining, it's pricey, but worth it. The Daintree is as exciting as ever. Solar Whisper Croc Cruise was really good. Daytrip to Atherton Tablelands was lovely. Rusty's market is a must! Only downside of Cairns: dining is fairly expensive in general.

We went at the start of the dry season.
We went at the start of the dry season. The weather was very warm but still humid.
Cairns central has great public facilities.
The swimming lagoon is fantastic for all ages and has surf lifesavers in attendance. BBQ cookers all along the Esplanade, excellent playgrounds.
Muddy Waters in particular, the kids went crazy.
Of course you go for the reef trips and the train trip and the Skyrail up to Kuranda village. A lovely day out in beautiful rainforest.
Port Douglas and Mossman are a drive north if you have the time, they are another must see in this scenic part of north Queensland.
A drive up onto the Tablelands opens up a different part of the area. Natural and historical attractions. It's worth the drive.

A worn and sadly lacking site.
A worn and sadly lacking site. It has all the hallmarks of investors who rake in the money but don't spend any money or maintenance and improvements. They could raise their star rating if they cared to invest in renovation., The lady at the front desk was very friendly;y. What a shame she has to represent such a sad venue.

There is little opportunity to interact with people outside of those in our circle of the delegation, including the hosts and those slotted in the program, during that trip. I would like to see more people to people interaction.

Excellent location.
Excellent location. You may not need a rented car if you stay in the central location. We stayed here for 5 days. Went to Great Barrier Reef, Green Island, Used the sky rail to go to Kurandra and came back by Scenic Rail. Snorkling at both Green Island and Great Barrier Reef was too good.

Brilliant clean pool in apartment.
Brilliant clean pool in apartment. We did Kuranda tour the train to the top of mountain and the cable car over the rainforest/ Green Island tour, where we enjoyed the glass bottom boat, snorkelling, and seeing the large crocodile that was recovering from an injury on the island. We also did Daintree crocodile river tour and we saw 3 crocodiles, went swiming in Rossman Gorge. The tours were fantastic and so was Cairns, we had the holiday of a life time. Thankyou to everyone for the wonderful tours.
We were met by Jackie and shown to the apartment. She took time to show us everything. A great studio apartment that was exceptionally clean and well equipped for any level of self catering if needed. The Nespresso machine was an added bonus. Located just minutes from Cairns Central shopping centre and the Cairns railway station. An easy ten to fifteen minute walk and we were on the waterfront where there are lots of great restaurants. Perfect accommodation we will definitely use again. Thanks Jackie
Super clean room, and the friendly, attentive staff impressed me right off the bat. The hotel was located within walking distance of all the Cairns attractions that I visited. The kitchen had everything I needed during my stay. The beautiful pool was clean and serene, and it never had more than a couple people in it at a time. I extended my stay here twice! Also, the manager accomodated a late checkout without hesitation. Would stay here again if I return to Cairns.
Views were amazing. Quiet location but a quick and beautiful walk along the esplanade to everything at the harbor. But the best part was all the thoughtful touches, like milk and chocolate in the fridge, plentiful coffee pods, dishwasher and laundry detergent, and more than enough towels for our family of five. No scrimping! The apartment was clean, orderly, and very comfortable. Wi-Fi service was great. We LOVED our stay.
Hotel tropiq was by far our best stay in cairns - great wifi in room & by pool, lovely & super helpful staff, felt safe, very clean room with kettle, fridge & microwave, towels and you even get complimentary chocolates & shower gels! It’s also only a 15-20 min walk mostly along the beach to the main esplanade in cairns centre - Wish we’d stayed here the whole time & would definitely stay again!
Location was great. Just across the street from a large shopping centre and within easy walking distance to restaurants and the esplanade. Also close to Rustys Market and not far from the night markets. We caught the Spirit of Queensland to Cairns and it was only a very short walk from the train station to the hotel. Apartment was clean and the beds were very comfortable.
View from Level 7 is great and the location was a convenient walk to the main part of Cairns with all the restaurants and cafes. The unit was very big - with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a laundry, living area and two bathrooms - suited our family needs very well. The pool at the property was good - it seemed well maintained.
Simple hotel but with a nice vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant, which is part of the hotel, is very good and definitely worth a visit.
Not a negative, but in case important to people, the location is about a 20-minute walk from the Esplanade and the more buzzy areas of Cairns.
The hotel is very beautiful, with two enormous pools. It has also a very nice garden, and a guest room which is very handy if you, like me, wake up too early and does not want to wake up other people in you room. Finally, the price is much better than most hotels in Cairns, it's amazing value.
The location of the hotel was excellent, walking distance to everything in Cairns. The view of the river and hills beyond was great and made sitting on the balcony a must. The buffet breakfast was good as they changed the options everyday so it was not just the same each morning.
Location is excellent for this well priced hotel. Directly opposite the Cairns Lagoon and close to the Night Markets. No parking but ticket parking for 3 hours at a time nearby. Very comfy beds and very clean. Restaurant/Bar on top floor very good too.
The hotel's location is central to everything. Great to walk around and explore the near by sites and Esplanade. Will return to Cairns and stay here again! The reception staff upon checking in and on the second day were terrific!
The location of the hotel was perfect, so close to Cairns centre, the marina and the Esplanade.
The beds are soooo comfy!! Slept better than ever every night.
The staff were so friendly, so eager to please and help.
Location can't be any better if you want to stay around Esplanade in Cairns. The room was very clean and very modern. The hotel looks very new and modern. Best value for money.
Susan, was outstanding with her approach in welcoming us to the apartment. The family loved the apartment and decided we choose Vale Vista Luxury on our next trip to Cairns
I liked the location, I was easily able to explore the city centre of Cairns on foot. i choose Mantra hotels because i know what to expect and they never let me down.
