It was a good stay, close to excellent but that is reserved for an exceptional experience. I think they should remove/replace the carpet. Shower was weird. There was no door to close and half a fixed glass door, so you felt like you had to be careful that the water wasn’t spraying out. Odd right? It was a great stay. Quiet, off the main strip but just a block from the action:)

The room was very basic & apart from a little dust in a couple of places the room was very neat & clean . We were not impressed with the Cane chairs in the room as they were not very comfortable & we were there six days we would of preferred a couple of bucket chairs or a small two seater which there is room for , also a small table out on the balcony would be nice . We were very appreciate of clean towels daily .

We loved this property! It is so close to the ferry terminal so if you’re going to the reef is very convenient to just walk right over there and get on your boat. There are also tons of restaurants, especially Asian varieties for dining options as well as a night market. I would totally stay here again.

Great location at the southern end of the Esplanade. Lovely views of the coral sea and rainforest. Room was ready early. Buffet breakfast is stock standard but totally fine ($25 for guests). Housekeeping did a great job. Would stay again. Very convenient for the Convention Centre and reef / cruise terminal.
