Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is in a great location, close to everything, the marina, night markets, the esplanade. It’s a bit dated, but the staff are doing their best to offset this by being very attentive and accommodating. I especially enjoy the pool, it may be the largest around Cairns and it never seems crowded. My favourite hotel in this place."
