Frommer's Review
Despite its lack of glitz, this 14-story hotel has been the choice of a number of movie stars -- most famously Marlon Brando -- while on location in Cairns. A 20-minute waterfront walk from downtown, the hotel offers a range of accommodations, from hotel rooms to penthouse apartments. The one- and two-bedroom apartments look out to the sea; hotel rooms have sea or mountain views. Some units have dataports; kitchenettes are in studios and apartments; and hotel rooms and apartments have minibars. The rooms are spacious, but the bathrooms are not, perhaps reflecting the hotel's Japanese market. Out back are cheaper studios and apartments, with upgraded furnishings; out front are a pool and sun deck.
Facilities:2 restaurants; 3 bars; 3 outdoor pools; golf course about 20 min. away; 2 lit tennis courts; health club w/aerobics classes; Jacuzzi; sauna; bike rental; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport transfers; shuttle service around city; salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms.
