Top Great Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived late in the night but desk is staffed 24 hours so no problems there. Nice clean rooms - seperate bedroom and lounge and two balconies/ overlooking the water and walking path good for a run if wanted.. also a cafe nearby for breakfast etc."

Whitsunday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean apartment. The shower glass looked like it was brand new, so clean. The bed had slight depressions and a bump in 1 spot that felt like a spring, but was generally quite comfortable. The blinds allowed in more light in the bedroom than I prefer, but was fine with an eye mask. The TV was a long way from the lounge chairs, great to have a really big apartment, but a different arrangement where the TV is close by would be better. Views were amazing. The closest restaurant (Pool Terrace) was one of the better priced restaurants and had delicious meals. Overall very happy."

The Oceanfront Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"This property was being renovated at the time of our stay. The staff was great! They gave great suggestions on dining and activities. They were always available. We were close to the esplanade which borders the mud lake and lots of public park activities all the way down to the marina. We felt very safe there."

Magnums Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay in Airlie Beach. As a solo traveler, the room was clean and comfortable. The site itself is greatly maintained and gives the illusion of being in a jungle. The site is also centrally located in Airlie Beach, walking distance to the harbors for day trips, the Airlie Beach lagoon and beach areas. It’s also adjacent to a grocery store and pharmacy. The perfect stay for someone who plans on doing day trips and needs a comfortable place to sleep."
