Great views

Service was good but I had to check out a day early due to a family member being unwell back in Cairns. It was before the 2pm checkin yet they didnt offer me a partial refund. Whereas it was the night of the footy so no doubt they rented out the room again.

Position is fantastic! Internet wasn’t great and water pressure wasn’t good. They’re the only negatives.

Wonderful place to stay

Our stay was fantastic. Check in was quick and easy and the reception staff were very friendly. We stayed on the 4th floor and had a great view of the ocean and Strand. Easy parking and also a short walk to restaurants. The room was perfect for our short stay. Would definitely recommend.
