I had the best stay at Abbott Hotel! Lovely and clean rooms in an absolutely perfect location. Super quick walk to everything - restaurants, bars, docks for boat trips, Daintree pick ups, etc. The highlight though was the staff, they were so incredibly kind and friendly. Special shout out to the manager, Peter, for making my time there so memorable. We would chat every time I passed the desk, and it made for such a lovely environment while I was solo traveling. I’m so grateful I chose to stay here and cannot recommend them enough! :)

The food was great, we had stayed for a week and we always found ourselves heading to pizza joint for dinner. The three pools gave us options to relax and enjoy the day. Location of the resort was great for travels out of cairns towards Hartley's crocodiles and Kuranda.

Short taxi ride from the airport, fantastic friendly staff at front desk. I had a great view from my balcony, so pleased I upgrade to a room with an esplanade view. Great time out spot with a wine and a book. Surprised at how close I was to the pier and the water front too. Lots of cafe, bars, restaurants very close by and I felt save walking around on my own in the early evening. Lots to do if you want to be busy. My room and bathroom were big and clean.

Really spacious apartments, we were lucky enough to get to stay in 2 of them. The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows even more so. Management were very kind, helpful and responsive. We put in more than one request and each time it was dealt with promptly and efficiently and nothing was too much. Location was very good, close to cairns central shopping centre and a short walk to the esplanade and city centre.

Apartment was spacious and clean with one of the best view. Restaurants was just outside the building. It was closer to shops,the esplanade lagoon and closer to almost everything. Rsl next to building and perfect for family with children. All I can say is we really enjoyed our stay. Tour booking centre was just next door, cairns shopping mall 5 minutes drive away. Will definitely be back again
