The hotel itself was not bad...decently clean and big beds. They did not provide any sort of warm blankets and some nights, it got cold and the very thin "sheets" as I would call them were definitely not enough. Besides that, the water by the beach was awful due to the rainy/windy season as they had said. There was no... more

Our stay at this resort was very disappointing from day one. What with sand in the lounge chairs and cobwebs under the mirror on the lounge room wall,dried milk spill in the bottom of the fridge, crumbs in the cutlery drawer, floor needing a sweep, faeces in the toilet, television blowing up, someone elses underwear in the dryer and finally... more

We (a couple) spent 3 weeks here and we loved it. It's right next to the beach and there's a bar, a restaurant and a couple of food shops close. There's also a pizza restaurant and a bottle shop. It's at Holloway's Beach, not the centre of Cairns, but there's a regular bus service including night buses. The bus drivers... more

Yes i agree with some of the reviews. It could have been a little cleaner. The floor really needed a wash. but as for location. it was fantasic. next to a beach, restaurant over the road. nice and quiet which is great when you have kids in toe. You dont really need a car: because most tours pick you up... more

We visited Australia and this apartment-hotel twice within a year. A fantastic location in a quiet area about 5 miles from Cairns itself. All the facilities were excellent, pool, the grounds, parking, the apartment, on both occasions, and the staff polite and helpful. You will need a car as it's away from everything, other than a cafe over the road... more

Notice to all travelers. The Cairns Beach Resort has alot of problems. Firstly, it is NOT in Cairns. It is located in an outer suburb called Holloway's Beach. This is about 15 or so minutes from the CBD of Cairns, which is not a problem unless you dont have a car. If you dont have a car the only option... more

This mst be the WORST Hotel in Cairns. Firstly, Cairns Beach Resort is NOT in Cairns. It actually in Holloways Beach, so if you think your going to be in Central Cairns, think again. I booked for myself and wife, and upon arrival at 7:00pm, reception was closed. After finally getting room keys, we were given a room with 2... more

I stayed here for a week and LOVED it. It's not the Ritz-Carlton so don't expect a lot of plush amenities. But, it's very quiet, attractive, very clean, the grounds are quite beautiful, and it's a block to an almost deserted beach. The staff is friendly and wonderful. The lady at the front desk (the weather is so beautiful her... more

Arrived in Australia for three week trip. First stop Cairns and Great Barrier Reef. Had booked room at Cairns Beach Resort thru internet before leaving. What a pleasant surprise. Everything was as promised. The hotel is a booking agent for all local tours to the reef and up and down the coast. Andrea and Brad could not have been more... more
