The Hotel is a remodeled shopping mall so I had to walk about a mile to get from the front desk to my room and half the stores on the ground floor are vacant so it looks tacky.

Cairns Marina stay.
Location was great. Great spacious room overlooking the marina. Staff across all areas were good and very responsive. Club area was a good option with a wide food selection for both breakfast and early evening drinks. However property is looking “very tired”.

Absolutely outstanding experience. Highest recommendation for this hotel. My parents were absolutely delighted with everything here. Outstanding food/room/drinks/facilities/location and especially customer service. I don’t think it can get any better than Shangri-La Cairns. Don’t hesitate BOOK now..you will not be disappointed. Would give 10 stars if I could!!

Excellent location on Esplanade and Marina.Lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. Fabulous pool area. To be honest, we found Cairns city area not very nice, quite shabby, so was lovely to stay at a lovely hotel right on the esplanade...we just stayed in that area and kept out of the city area.
