This is a great location and beautiful place to stay in. They did not pay attention to any of the benefits for an Expedia VIP stay except for the room upgrade, and when I requested them, I was turned down. The employees were nice but did not care to help at all. They did not make the stay better as a member and I was disappointed as I chose this hotel due to the VIP availability.

An old and tired hotel desperately needing an update. The bathroom fittings barely cling to the walls, the bath itself had what appear to be mould around some tiles. The pool deck paint has lifted everywhere and trying to find a pool lounge not covered in bird poo was a challenge. any positives? The sea view was great but be sure paid for that, and we visited the bar twice and the guy was fantastic!

Feel like I needed 3.5 stars for rating. Property is on outskirts of Cairns in terms of distance to CBD its a good 10 min walk depending on your fitness. Feel we overpaid for quality of hotel as room and facilities are tired in places. If our room is a good example then the hotel is in need if some refurbishment as fittings were tired. We witnessed a man break a deck board by the pool (as it is also tired). He just stood on it. This was promptly - day after, repaired but tells you condition. Etc etc. However upside is good staff, breakfast was good, small but functional gym with good equipment and couple of pool options (but a bit tired) Car parking is NOT included in price it's $15 per day. You can park on the road outside for free at your risk. Bar wise there is one and it offers happy hour drinks 4-6pm. There is a small shop onsite

Rydges on The Esplanade in Cairns is handy and can boast great views of the mountains and water if you select the right room. The full buffet breakfast and lunch options were great, as was the in-room wood-fired pizza! The pools were a bit cold and room a tiny bit worn out with a bed moving around somewhat. Otherwise the place is great. Great location!!
