8.8/10 Excellent! (830 reviews)
2bdrm 2bthrm unit we booked had plenty of space and good kitchen and laundry facilities. Room wasn't that clean when we arrived. Beds were uncomfortable in both rooms and furnishings were tired and in need of updating. Shower in second bathroom could not be used as pressure was terrible and water temperature was either searing hot or freezing cold. Reception didn't seem to be staffed much during our stay so thay made it hard to raise concerns. On the whole, good location, the secure underground parking was great and pool was fantastic. Just need to up their cleaning game and update furnishings to make the stay more comfortable

A few missing things, no dish detergent, door and towel rails broken which we temped to fix, the tv was unwatchable due to delayed internet and pixelation and the smaller bedroom was clostriphobic and the showers were disappointing. The hot tub was a surprise and very enjoyable, location was excellent to the beach and restaurants, fabulous food. Michael's service was excellent when welcoming guests and he was very helpful.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Cairns and Barrier Reef during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with a few additional challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Cairns and Barrier Reef:
  • Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
