Top Great Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews

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."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Neat and tidy, great location"

The Ville Resort - Casino

10/10 Excellent

"A bit too expensive with no microwave and the bar fridge was jammed packed with booze, could not fit your own drinks in. For a person who doesn't drink that was very annoying. If they tone down on trying to manipulate people from buying their products, will it smashed in your face, I would have stayed their again."

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

8/10 Good

"I always come back here when I pass through Cairns. Clean & convenient."

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

8/10 Good

"A lovely place all round. A little far out from the town centre - a good 45 mins walk, so taxis generally required. But other than that, a great place."

The Oceanfront Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"we had a nice stay at the ocean front hotel, we had some difficulties which has been resolved very quickly and kindly. stuff was very nice and helpful. location is perfect in front of the beach. the hotel is under the new management and they have done some renovation in some rooms which is very nice and modern and some rooms still old. we would like to thank all of the stuff especially the reception."

Ardo
