Business Hotels & Resorts in Cairns Beaches from AU$129

"We travelled as a family of four for a three-night stay and stayed in a two-bedroom suite. The rooms were not adjoining, but shared a private entrance, which worked well for us. The kitchenette was well equipped, with an oven, ceramic cooktop, toaster, large fridge/freezer and microwave, which was really useful. The island itself is absolutely stunning. The snorkelling was a highlight, with turtles, reef sharks and beautiful reef easily accessible. The summit hike was also amazing, although I’d only recommend it for children aged 8+ with good fitness levels. Unfortunately, the resort experience did not match the premium price. Rooms are only cleaned every three days, towels were not replaced, and we had to empty our own bins. Staff availability was limited, and when we requested extra items, it often felt like we were inconveniencing them. We did not eat in the main restaurant, but had dinner at Foxy’s Cafe. The food was hit and miss, and the customer service was disappointing. Staff were quick to explain what guests could not do, but rarely offered helpful solutions or much empathy. Overall, I would return for a day trip, but would not stay again. The island is beautiful and well worth visiting, but the resort charges premium prices without delivering a premium resort experience."

"Honestly 10/10 what a great stay we had, coffee shops & food right there, beautiful beach & heaps of wildlife walking around, watch your step in the hotel (we were on the 4th floor and had to carry a little lizard down the elevator) "

"Very busy with tourists from 9am to 4pm, but even then you can find quiet areas of beach around the back of the island. Outside those hours it's a quiet, secluded paradise. All the staff are fantastic and go beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable, food is good quality and reasonably priced. Plenty of things to do and snorkelling on the beach is fantastic, saw many tropical fish and turtles. The crocodile sanctuary and feeding show is a must, and each day is capped off with complimentary drinks on the beach while the sun sets. There is a fragrance of guano, but you get used to it. Overall, a highly recommended stay. "

"A great spot. We loved it! So close to the beach. "

"Beautiful view, very clean room and the staff were great. Directly on the beach. "

"Apartment overlooked the beach, the complex seems smaller than it actually was as the apartment was very quiet and private. Cannot fault it for a family stay, close to everything great facilities and great local restaurants. We will be back."
