Shangri-la paradise
I booked this last minute not really knowing what to expect and not knowing exactly how close it was to the water. Wow!!! The hotel is steps from the marina walkway and restaurants and trip bookings were literally at the hotel front door step. The staff were amazing, friendly and were from different parts of the world which i thought added to the charm and world experiences I was looking for. The rooms were spotless and even on days when i forgot to put a "please clean my room" card on the door, I came back to a clean and made up room. I would definitely book this hotel again if i came back to Cairns. The location and customer service was spot on. Definitely the location of this hotel gives you the sense of seeing the true waterfront area. Sipping lattes every morning while watching the sailboats in the marina was unmatched to any other hotel facing the marina for that price we paid.

Dining tip:
In Hotel
Dining in the hotel and within 2 mins walk of the hotel was all expensive, however all dining out in Cairns seemed expensive compared to the US and Canada. However, if you walk an extra 3 mins away from the main shopping and eating area, there are little "night markets" that offer food court options which were slightly lower priced. And if worse came to worse, there is always the local hamburger chain with economically priced meals.

Disappointment
The room was small with a stained (in several places) rug and in need of paint. Room service needed to be called twice in order to get ice delivered on at least three occassions. We were "upgraded" to a city view which is meaningless from the fourth floor overlooking the parking lot. Very long walk from elevators to our room - no kidding it was probably 1/4 mile. Stubbed my toe and hit my hip on furniture trying to get to bathroom during the night. Extremely narrow walkway not only hard for an adult to walk thru but had to maneuver suitcase through too. Restaurants were good but noisy and crowded until late on Saturday night so too loud to leave windows open. Staff was pleasant but even that could not overcome the disadvantages. Definitely would not recomment.

Our family stayed for 3 nights
Our family stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the facilities, the location would have to be the best in Cairns, the rooms are a bit dated but very clean, comfortable and staff very friendly, will be staying there again and would recommend it to friends.

The breakfast at the horizon club
The breakfast at the horizon club was of a sub-standard compared to standards set by other sangria la hotels. otherwise recommended!

Shangra-La
Hotel is well situated in Cairns. It is within walking distance to all the resturants and shops in the central area. Rooms are a bit plain for my taste. Lots of hard surfaces and white paint. Overall it is a nice hotel. The only complaint is that the corridors are way too long and the decor is a bit tired.

Great location
The location of this hotel was the best. Make sure to ask for a room with a view! The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. Close proximity to all the cuise activities. Dinning was very easy. Stayed in 6 different hotels on my trip to Australia. This was our favorite for the price.
