The Reef Hotel Casino Cairns - Handwritten Collection

"This is a pretty good hotel by local standards. It has a casino and the breakfast is decent, though it's a bit humid (which is typical for hotels in the Great Barrier Reef area). The room itself is very spacious, but the air conditioning blew directly on my head, making for an uncomfortable and restless sleep."

Waters Edge Apartment

"Excellent! The pool is amazing, there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the washer and dryer are very clean. The kids love the pool, but please note that they shouldn't be active after 9 pm as it might disturb the upstairs neighbors."

The Benson Hotel

"Quite Central to where you need to be in Cairns. At first sight, the hotel looked quite crusty externally but the room (and interior) were fine. Breakfast was rather delicious. Pool looked ok but don’t actually go in as there was little cover from the sun i.e. additional deck chair umbrellas. Had to haggle for a late check-out (from 10am to 11am) but in the end, after using reason and logic, we got there… Overall a good experience"

Trinity Links Resort

"This was a lovely three bedroom, two bathroom apartment furnished with everything you need and an internal laundry and dishwasher. Its a gated quiet community with secure parking. It has two lovely swimming pools (we had it to ourselves every day) and a nice BBQ area. The reception area has free DVDs and some snacks to purchase. Kim very kindly gave us some tomato sauce for our BBQ. It is self catering so you will need to do a full grocery shop for your stay (the BBQs are great). I don't think it would suit guests who don't have their own car. The only noise I heard in the evening was the call of the curlew."

"Amazing stay"

Cairns Southgate Hotel

"If I could give it a zero I would. This hotel is a scam. Please do not stay here. This hotel was booked on my family's behalf in town for a funeral and knowing what I know now I wouldn't let my dogs stay here let alone book and give them money front up. No right-minded person would. My stay at the hotel was extremely disappointing. The rooms and hallways had a strong odor of cigarettes and pot. The bedding was dirty and had no protection and only had sheets on them, and the towels had stains on them. The carpets were stained and sticky, and the bathroom was moldy and had dead insects. It felt like there were permanent residents living in the hotel which didnt feel safe. The room was not in good condition, with damaged and worn furniture adding to the poor ambiance. We found a ladies' handbag in a drawer with personal belongings, which made us question the cleanliness of this room.Other family staying in differnt room had the same issues. After spending less than a minute in the room, we decided not to stay. Unfortunately, reception was closed, and we had to wait until the next day to lodge our complaint with managment. Even then, the after-hours staff could only pass on our concerns, leaving us without any solution at the time and no where to stay. In reading the ACCC regulations our booking falls under a major fault. Despite demanding a refund, we have yet to receive one even after a week of correspondence and both the hotle and Wotif say we are entitled to a refund for our 3 days booking. I have escalated the matter to various consumer protection agencies, including the health department, Consumer Affairs Ombudsman, Fair Trading Office, and our bank. We are even exploring legal options. I refused to let them keep my $371 for a room that was moldy, dirty, and unsafe, especially considering the potential health hazards to my family. For your own safety and comfort, I would advise against staying at this hotel. This place is a SCAM."
