The hotel is ideally located between the airport and downtown, with very green surroundings and a nice seafront stroll to Cairns central. The rooms are spacious, modern, and clean, featuring a convenient little kitchen and a TV. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, organizing activities and providing excellent service. However, there was a slight negative experience with staff attempting to overcharge. The hotel lacks a proper dining area, but you can enjoy homemade Majorcan products. The grounds are beautifully maintained with a superb outdoor feel, making it a genuine rainforest experience, and a nice 15-minute walk brings you to the vibrant downtown area.
