Loved the location and the room. Beautiful pool. Lovely staff except for one Australian girl when checking in. Was rude to her colleague -and nudged her to move as she was checking us in and told us move over harshly. Being in hospitality ourselves was very shocked at her behaviour. Other than that was all perfect. I think people should be warned not to go out by yourself at night as our 22 year old son was walking to Woolworths at 8pm to be confronted by a gang of indigenous youths with knives on there belts. They pushed him and fortunately he is a fast runner he took off and they chased him. Police were roaming the area which stopped them. We were then warned by many locals about this happening. Foreign travellers especially need to know about the youth crime in the area.

Pool was in a great spot for the sun. Calypso bar lovely place to spend an afternoon. Only negative thing was the rooms ac . Couldnt set the temp below 21 and when reported to reception they did something on the computer at reception so the ac only went on full fan and full cooling ,so it would stay down to 14 deg .The service guy never showed up after requesting 3 times .

Great hotel with one huge, major drawback, they have opened bars at the front of the hotel and on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday various events meant mind numbing bass music volume rang through the room. We had a massive day so wanted a bit of a rest in the room wow, no way. The Saturday stopped at 9 and the other nights at 10:30 and that doesn’t sound too bad but when you’ve been out on the reef all day in 30 degree sun and a few lunchtime refreshments last thing you need is your brain fried by a dj. I should say we aren’t in our 20’s but there again not in a retirement village either. Great for tireless teens or twenty somethings.

I booked an ‘Urban King’ room with a balcony for three nights as I resided in Cairns for six years & knew I wanted fresh air. I somehow ended up in the tower in an enclosed room. After informing reception were told we could have a balcony room but had to wait until 2pm the next day which was the same time we were booked on a party bus for a 60th. We were then moved to a room with no wifi which we needed to stream a football final our son was about to play in. Took some time & couldn’t be fixed. It was impossible to relax, waiting, packing & unpacking until we were finally offered a nice room on our last night. Other than this staff were lovely & the resort is beautiful.
