Hotel is newer, and the room was good. We stayed in an ocean view room and it was a beautiful view. Restaurants (paper crane and rocco) were good. Food (restaurants and room service) could be improved by offering more basic dishes, not fancy food; no water offered at the pool even when ordering poolside food and drinks (front desk told us to buy the hotel's $20 glass water bottle and use that by the pool when glass isn't allowed by the pool). I would consider staying here again if I'm in the area as it is a bit further from the chaos of downtown.

This is NOT a 5 star hotel. At best a below average 4 star. The lighting in the rooms is terrible. The room is small without a table so if you order room service there is no place to eat except on the bed. I booked a king room with a water review so I was expecting a lot more. Very disappointing hotel.

Excellent location, beautiful property, and superb rooms. We had a full ocean view with balcony and really enjoyed the quality of the room's fittings and fixtures, especially the lighting. Only criticism is that the bars and restaurants close WAY too early around 10pm and the Rooftop Bar was closed on Weduand Thursday when we really wanted to go, that seems pretty mental to be honest!

We always stay at the Chrystalbrook Riley and have stayed in various rooms, all very nice. It is walking distance to everything and parking is easy. 1. They have opened a new restaurant since our last visit, Calypso Club thinking this would provide more options for meals. The restaurants were closed both Paper Crane & Calypso therefore only providing pool food which does not have a good variety, not at all. When the restaurants have private functions they do not advertise this, when not prepared it does become an inconvenience especially if you have children. 2. It is one of the only hotels in Cairns that do not provide an outdoor or an indoor shower for those who have to check out and have a late flight time. They do offer the resort facilities; they are happy for you to use the pool and continue to spend money on drinks and food until you leave for the Airport. The downside and it’s a big one, ourselves and others were all told we could walk up the street to the Flynn to shower, dress and come back to pick up our luggage for the Airport. Not what I would expect for this hotel and the money you pay.

We recently stayed at the Crystalbrook Riley, and overall, it was a good experience. However, a few aspects of the breakfast service left much to be desired. When paying for the buffet breakfast, it’s reasonable to expect that coffee would be included, but it wasn’t, which was disappointing. Additionally, the breakfast itself didn’t feel worth the price. The variety and quality of food didn’t quite live up to our expectations, especially for the cost. The service and table maintenance at the buffet were also underwhelming. Tables often weren’t cleared promptly, and the general atmosphere felt lackluster, which detracted from the overall experience. While the stay was enjoyable in other aspects, the breakfast certainly needs improvement to match the hotel’s standards.
