Stayed at the Discovery on two seperate occasions. Its just basically your typical motel. Rooms were nice and clean, recently redone with modern looks, but OH MY, the bathrooms had clearly not been redone since the 60s. Quite a contrast to the rest of the room. Check-in staff was very friendly and offered to store our luggage for free during... more

While we didn't stay long enough to take advantage of amenities, this was a very clean place on the main road. It was a long 15 minute walk to the pier and downtown, but we were glad for the peace and quiet. more

Staff was more than helpful with arranging tours out to the REEF. The room was a delight as may of the accomodations thus far had no tubs. Two swimming pools well maintained. A bit of a walk to town 10 minutes if you are a walker. Not to far to the only grocery store in the area. Very reasonable for... more

We spent three nights in this hotel in December. It is a nice, clean place located approximately 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre. The front desk staff is very friendly and helped us to book all of our tours. Hotel has a restaurant which provides all meals but we just walked to the city centre where you get lot... more

We stayed at the Discovery Resort Cairns for 4 nights from the 15th of Oct, 2007. First impression, very neat and clean, gave a really modern and cosy feeling. The staff were friendly when checking in and helpful with tours booking and taxi hire after hours. The service they provided were certainly on par with some of the hotels with... more

We stayed at the Discover Resort for 4 nights. The only problems we encountered were in check in. The manager told us that when we booked twin beds we didn''t realize that it was a double bed and a sofa bed. I wasn't happy with the sofa bed option so fortunately he booked us in a room with 2 double... more

We stayed at the Discover Resort for 4 nights while staying in Cairns and we really enjoyed it. The room was spacious and clean. We ordered a pizza from the restaurant and it was great value for the money. The front desk was friendly and helpfully suggested some activites to do while in the area. It's a bit of a... more

The Discovery Resort, Cairns, is a great place to stay - even it really isn't a "resort," per se. (To me a resort would have substantial activities on property - this place has none of that, In the States, this place would be called a Motel.) Situated about 5 LONG blocks (north) from CBD, it is in a fairly quiet... more

We stayed in a twin room, which was very small, but adequate. Room was clean and the bathroom spotless. Air-con worked well. Beds were uncomfortable and the fridge's thermostat was turned down very low, so we had to turn it up to keep our drinks cold. We were warmly greeted upon arrival. The attached cafe/restaurant is excellent and highly recommended.... more
