GREAT stay at the Riley hotel!!! We came for our honeymoon and got a special note and a bottle of wine from the hotel, what a great start for the vacation. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, went above and beyond to help in anything and gave us recommendations for the area. Always smiled at us when we passed by. The hotel itself is very beautiful, the pool (with sand) is amazing and the room was fully equipped with all that we needed. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we were ever in the region again.

The hotel is very nice, the room incredibly spacious, clean and with an amazing view on the bay, we couldn’t ask for more. The hotel has a beautiful outside area of pool and it has a nice gym. The location is simply amazing, cause it’s very very well located, just in front of where all the tours leave, so it couldn’t be better. Inside the lobby there is a tour operator wich sell tours at a very good price, so everything works perfectly. The staff it’s great, we checked out in the morning but our flight was not leaving till evening and they gave us access to gym, swimming pool and showers. We are very happy with the experience we had and we highly recommend this structure!

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—there was a coffee machine, elegant cups, and wine glasses. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the view from the balcony was simply breathtaking. The rooms are also soundproof, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing stay. The hotel itself is stunning, with a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. Although we didn’t use the pool or try the breakfast, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

What a spectacular holiday! It was everything you see in the pictures provided and more. The apartment was facing the beach, really close! We also had a full view of the pool which was massive and very clean with barbecue facilities as well as tables and chairs in a sheltered area. Everything was super clean including the beach area. There is a designated area in which you can swim because of jelly fish, never the less that didn't make it less enjoyable. The apartment was spacious, fitted with modern finishes. Equipped WITH EVERYTHING you could possibly need on your stay. Tumble dryer, washing machine, complimentary powdered soap. Bath and pool Towels, Iron, ironing board, washing rack, pegs, mop, bucket, vacuum, broom, dustpan. Extra pillows and blankets, picnic basket and camping chairs. Pots and pans(plenty of), electric frying pan, air fryer, toaster, sandwich press(big/family sized). Silverware(plenty of), whisk, tin opener, dishing out spoons, spatulas, wooden spoon. Cutting board. Dish rack, dishwashing liquid, dishwashing powder(for washer). Kettle, complimentary tea, coffee and milk(2 small boxes for 4 days) Olive oil, salt, pepper, clingwrap, baking paper. Massive fridge and freezer Storage containers Plates, saucers, bowls, cups, teacups and mugs, Drinking Glasses big and small Wine glasses Conditioner, shampoo and enough shower gel all mounted onto wall in both showers(you won't run out. Very clean bathrooms.  master bathroom has two showers in one space and a fitted(luxurious) bathtub. The master bedroom is closed off by glass, one of my favourite places in the apartment. Beds were spaces, clean and comfortable. I fell asleep and woke up to the beautiful sound of the ocean. The balcony was spacious, beautiful white table an chairs and a pot plant. It also had two poolside chairs to relax on. I could go on and on... Overall, this was the best holiday I have had in a very long time. Worth every dollar.

We had a hard time choosing from several hotels near the Esplanade and we were so glad that we decided to stay at Pacific Hotel Cairns. It’s prime location is walking distance to various spot like the Esplanade, Marlin Marina (for island and diving tours), Cairns Central and many in between. We were warmly greeted by the hotel staffs who are all so attentive and friendly and checking in was flawless. Our choice of stay was in Superior King Balcony Suite which was situated in the higher floors overlooking the Esplanade/Marlin Marina was perfect. Room was clean and and super spacious with amenities perfect for our 4 nights stay and bed was super comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out at the balcony in the morning and be greeted with the soothing sound of morning birds. We highly recommend staying at Pacific Hotel Cairns for its great value and location, making it perfect for your next Cairns adventure!

Reception staff were superb. in particular Molly who went to great trouble to move us to a quieter location. Being in our 70/80s the original cabin next to the children play area was a little noisy - to say the least. Molly moved us to. rainforest cabin which was a delight and very quiet.

Cairns has always been a central hub for all kinds of visitors from backpackers to visitors in some of the elegant hotels. There are plenty of cafes, lunch and dinner venues then trips to offshore islands and outer reef for snorkeling and diving. Good airport access with domestic and some international flights as well as the famous Spirit of Queensland train to other tourist locations in Queensland through to Brisbane with connections to Brisbane Airport and the Gold Coast

The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

The North Cairns area can be noisy because of its location near the airport. Road noise is also a concern during the day because the apartment is on the1st floor and no sound barriers between its balcony and the road nearby. Overall, though, the noise level greatly reduces in the evening and did not affect our sleeping at night.

A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.

Cairns is David Attenborough's Favourite destination in the whole world - The mountains meet the Rainforest, which meets the sea, having The Great Barrier Reef, which is 1 of the "7 WONDERS", within the world. Cairns has so so much to offer. We had a hire car, drove up Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, Port Douglas, Tablelands. We took a Sunset Sea Yacht cruise, Raintree Crocodile Cruises, Port Douglas Lady Douglas River cruise. Cairns itself has a Night Market, a wonderful Boardwalk, a Free Swimming Pool for everyone, a fantastic boat harbour with loads of great eating around the central of Cairns. Cairns CASINO is also great for eating & a nice Casino. The locals are helpful and very friendly. Cairns has quality accommodation which is reasonably priced. We always love our time away in Cairns. Cairns weather was perfect, not a day of rain. Our Great Barrier Reef snorkling was also wonderful.
