Great in value

The apartment is big with everything you need. Good in value and would be greater if a proper duvet (instead of a blanket) is provided.

A nice stay in the quiet part of town

The apartment is located at the quiet end of the Esplanade. The main tourist area is about half an hour walk away, however, here are cafes nearby. It is a nice walk in the evenings while it is cooler. The hotel has a nice sized pool which has shade. Overall, it is a nice place to stay. Thank you.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Although the pictures looked good on the website, apart from the extra space we had, it was a great disappointment once we checked in. The apartment was very grubby, carpets couch and curtains stained and the bathroom was filthy. The toilet was dirty and shower had not had a good clean in a very long time. The oven was dirty, glasses and plates were smeared. I wiped over the bathroom sink and bench and kitchen benches myself and loaded the dishwasher with all the crockery and cutlery. I emailed reception asking for cleaning asap. A less than adequate cleaning took place of the bathroom while we were out after our first night. Reception was spasmodically manned so it was difficult to get to see anyone to complain in person. When we had discovered the state of the place, reception was closed. I would not recommend this place at all.

The apartment was dated and we had to clean the spa bath with the shower over it because it was very dirty before we could use it. Also we could not walk around without shoes as the floor was dirty even though it looked clean.

Good apartment for a large family

Good apartment for large family. The rooms were pretty good and clean. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained. Overall a very good experience staying here. The reception staff also gives discount coupons for cairns attractions like thec rocodile tour etc so make sure to ask for that. One small shortcoming was not having the flexibility to extend the checkout. We requested for checkout to be moved by just one hour but received a stern no and they wanted us to vacate at 10 AM sharp. Keeping that aside it was worth the money.

Poor water pressure in bathroom. Could do with rail to assist out of spa bath. Poor cooking pans, need upgrade. Front Door very hard to open. Good laundry facilities. Floors not very clean. Wi fi c unable to connect last 2 days. Kitchen areas need clean. Bed was small but the sheets were so big.
