Top Michaelmas Cay Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great the room was clean. It was in walking distance of everything we did. Had good food within walking distance and fun activities."

Mantra Esplanade

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location - right on the esplanade, opposite the "beach" swimming area with loads of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby. Very easy to get to Marina for day trips and other attractions such as Night Markets and Rusty's Fruit Market. Nice balcony and good kitchen if you want to be able to eat in. Was a bit noisy some evenings with buskers of varying skills but generally quiet from 9.30/10pm."

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff and location was amazing. The room let the place down a little. Well due for a make over. Bathroom was satisfactory. But I won’t let that ruin a great place to stay. Pool maybe should be heated this time a year. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. We had a lovely time Thankyou"
