8.8/10 Excellent! (789 reviews)
Our stay at this hotel in Cairns was wonderful. The place is beautiful and you can see different animals around, which makes the experience even more special. The service was 10/10, especially thanks to Sarah, who was very kind and helpful to us. The only downside is that the facilities are a bit old, but overall it was a great experience.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (123 reviews)
Our apartment at Cayman was lovely and modern. Very spacious - dining table could seat 6. Full kitchen, two full bathrooms. Dishwasher, washer & dryer. Outdoor area with table. Spotlessly clean. 5 minute walk to shops/restaurants/supermarket, and 5 minute walk the other way to the beach. Helpful staff with good advice on local attractions. Only thing to be aware of is this is more like an AirBnB than a resort - they don't replenish toilet paper, shampoo etc or service the apartment unless you stay 7 days (we stayed 6). However with supermarket nearby and washer/dryer this is not a big deal. Towels a bit threadbare would be our only other criticism.
