Top Cairns Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

8/10 Good
"We loved the central position to everything in Cairns, plus a beautiful view. Rooms very clean and fresh. Thought the hotel was dated and the swimming pool and surrounds need updating. More lifts are needed in hotel, such a very long walk to our room from lifts. But as said, the best position in Cairns."
