We had a family of 6 adults staying. There was plenty of room for all of us and not live on top of each other. We virtually had the pool to ourselves and we loved having our step out entrance to it. It was close to everything on the esplanade , restaurants, bars, shops etc.
TVs in the bedroom could only pick up ANC or SBS, we did ask about it but was told owner needs to buy new tvs. There wasn’t a sharp knife in the place. For family accommodation we did cook to save money. Could barely cut a lettuce. We even bought a sharpener to sharpen the knives but still didn’t work.

The apartment is spacious, and it's perfect for a family getaway. We went with the kids and grannies, so it's good that we get spend some time in the apartment together. It's enough space for everyone. The location is great, close to esplanade promenade and walkable distance to the town. The balcony adds a lovely touch as you can have breakfast and look at the kids while they are swimming. The kitchen has all the utensils, it's really comprehensive.
Some parts are the apartment is a little bit dated, that it's need some to touch up and maintenance. It would be better if the showers were in higher water pressure.

Our apartment was very spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. Great view, beautiful pools. Great location. My partner worked at the hospital which was a quick walk, and I had the kids. I loved that they had plenty of recycling bins, AND containers for cash bins downstairs.
My main (only) dislike is that we couldn't exit the apartments on the esplanade side with prams. We had to go down to the garage, and walk up the ramp, and around the block to get to Muddy's. The room couldn't be darkened very well for baby nap time, but we made it work with sheets, towels, etc.

We had a 6th floor apartment overlooking the water and it was breathtaking. The room itself was spacious for 2 kids and 4 adults and was very clean. The facility was always clean and being cleaned by the friendly cleaning staff. We didn't mind being just out from the main shops as we liked to walk everywhere. The shopping centre was about a 20 minute walk.
The car parks were very tight and we had a spot next to a large 4x4 which made it worse. The book in the room said reception could help with reef tours but when we went to ask it seemed like a chore for them and they couldn't tell us any more than we already knew. We had to book it ourselves as they don't do that. It was quite noisy when there were people out late across the road. Sound travelled.

The location was great. Just away from the hustle and bustle of the main shops/bars/restaurants so it was quiet, but still close enough to easily walk to those places. There was an excellent cafe right across the street (Muddy's) that opened early for breakfast so we could watch the sun come up while drinking coffee in a quiet setting. The pool was also very clean and nice for swimming and relaxing. The place was also very large and easily accommodated the 6 of us. Overall, very nice and we'll stay here again when we come back.

The apartment was a great size and well appointed. The swim out deck was great.
The air conditioner in the middle bedroom was not working. despite being told by the manager "it was brand new" three times and that we were not operating the unit properly. After getting a service person out, it still did not work, it was not until our last night did one of the staff eventually agree that something was wrong. By then it was Sunday and nothing could be done.

A wonderful location and excellent facilities. A very large apartment with great ocean views, bright and airy. We didn't use the pool area however could see it from our apartment and looked amazing, clean and a great size. If you didn't want to cook a great diner across the street. Lifts to all floors. Staff very engaging and helpful with any directions we wanted or ordering transport for us. Will be staying again when we revisit Cairns. Thank you
There was nothing to not like.

Everything except the pool ladder
The pool ladder was bent and lose and very difficult to get out of pool. Friend who is legally blind could not swim at all because of swimout apartment access to pool! Even thought I had told manager we had a blind person with our group? Access was also a small issue entry was either steep steps or down steep driveway to lift! Not easy for the blind! Other than that pool was great

Was the best accommodation we have ever been in, it had everything we needed, from a blender to outdoor crockery. Was situated on the esplanade, perfect view, walking distance to the lagoon and all eateries, we had our own pool entrance. It was our family holiday and it was perfect for 6 adults. Our hosts Craig and Tania were so helpful and cleaning staff were so accommodating. We will definitely be back.

Great location and large apartment with beautiful ocean view on the 5th floor. Swimming pool is an add-on. If you rent an apartment on the ground floor, there's direct access to the pool. They also partner with cruising car if you want to rent a car. They can pick you up from the apartment, and you can drop off the car key at the front desk of the apartment without any additional cost. Very convenient.
The carpet smells a bit. Would be great to provide a small portion of cooking oil in the kitchen.
