Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns
Very comfortable stay for a young family. Beds & pillow comfortable. Staff were efficient. Amenities whilst there were signs of wear & tear were still comfortable. Menu on offer could have more variety, but was fresh.

Cairns Harbourside Hotel
The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The view from the room was awesome. The food menu was very limited and in my opinion very expensive. Drinks were also expensive. The pool looks great and there were plenty of people swimming and lounging around the pool.
