“In my opinion, the hotel's location on the Esplanade positions it as an ideal base for exploring Cairns. I think the rooftop bar, with its modern Australian menu and ocean views, adds a touch of urban sophistication. I also noted the spacious rooms, though some may find inconsistencies in room classifications.”
