Tropic Towers is a very good option for a stay in Cairns. The apartment was clean and all facilities were there, including free WiFi and the essential air con. There was even a swimming pool although we didn't have the opportunity to use it. We arrived late after reception was closed but all instructions for late check-in were communicated beforehand. They also let us checkout a couple of hours late as we had a later flight out. The building is someway from the centre of Cairns but being situated on Sheridan street which is the main highway through the town means just about every bus service running stops just down the road and has you at the central bus station in minutes and all for a 50cents ticket. Locally there's a convenience store in the petrol station just over the road and a couple of minutes walk there's Dunwoodys Hotel which serves food and drink and has a play area for young kids. Next door to the hotel is a Liqourland. Further up the road there's some more shops including a tobacconist and a Hungry Jacks (Burger King in the UK). Recommended.

Comfortable apartment and friendly reception staff. Easy walk to the waterfront and into Cairns CBD. A couple of nice pubs for meals nearby. Only let down by being next to a busy, noisy main road so ask for an apartment not facing the road, as ours was.

we had a very bad check-in experience. we booked one night, then skipped one night and booked two nights because we went to over night dive cruise. when we were back from diving, and did second checkin, reception lady was so mean, she told me this was a private property, I should not bother her by pushing bell, i looked the window sign, it said 'reception and tour', i thought she worked only for booking tour, i imediately apologied to her, then i looked through my email to see if i missed email from property manager for checkin, she looked us, then started to ask questions, like when and how i booked, the end she found she made a mistaken because of two bookings, the big problem was she was the checkin staff, and she should not have that bad attitude, she gave us one 2 bed rooms for one night, then we had to move to two seperate 1 bed room, felt really bad, never met people like her, so mean.

We chose this property for its proximity to the airport but did not enjoy a peaceful and comfortable stay. There was a lot of road noise inspite of windows and doors being shut with AC on. Reception was non-existent so no information about the area is provided. It didn’t feel terribly safe. The walk to the esplanade was about five minutes which was nice but it was not well lit. Our hallway smelled faintly of cigarette smoke.

This property was great value, and very spacious with a lovely little bath to soak in, while taking in the bird sounds, and the swaying palms overlooking the balcony. Close to town, but set apart from the main busy area, it was perfect for our stay, and was even better than we had imagined. Check in process was easy and seamless. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
