    "We had an incredible stay at Blue lagoon resort. This is my second time staying here. We received a free room upgrade which was really nice. The rooms are clean, well maintained and spacious. We loved the blue lagoon and being able to relax in the pool and watch the view. The staff were helpful in preparing to check in and with parking and other property questions we had. For Cairns touristy information, I would recommend the information centres at attractions for more advice on things to do...."

    "Had a very warm welcome on our arrival and discontinued throughout our stay. Our room was extremely clean and very well stopped. Possibly the best bed that we have slept in on our stay on our various days in Australia. And a pillow menu is always greatly appreciated. We have stayed in lesser Hotels better Hotels that do not offer this."

    "Rooms could do with a refresh - peeling wallpaper. A few staff were pleasant and helpful but overall rude and uninterested. When we checked out all we got was ‘that’s you’ no did you enjoy your stay. Food offering at Beach Bar was not great and of poor quality - did not try breakfast or dinner. Overall okay but could easily be a lot better."
