unforgettable stay at Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns”

I had an unforgettable stay at Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns! The service was impeccable, and the complimentary upgrade to the executive room with an ocean view truly made my birthday special. The staff went above and beyond with a champagne welcome and a delicious cheese platter. The room was spacious, clean, and had stunning views. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a memorable and luxurious stay. Can't wait to return for another visit!

Nice and close”

The hotel is located on the north side of Cairns city, close enough to most things you would want to get to including the hospital, if needed. The main part of the rooms are nicely done, bed comfy but the bathrooms are a little tired but still all functional; everything is clean. Went to the restaurant and bar for dinner, enjoyed the food and drink and its not far to walk back at all. The pool looks good but didn't have time to try it.

Great staff when we stayed with tennis court and nice pool”

The receptionist took care of our booking and remembered our bags we left which was nice. Wasn't too far of a wall to the city centre but was still a walk. They had a few pools and tennis courts which we used. Bathrooms were starting to look a little dated, but overall nice spacious bedrooms and was very clean.

Good hotel except the reception staff”

Hotel had everything we need! Would have been great if they had a hand held shower and a proper cubicle instead of the shower in the tub. Bed was nice and spacious room. Homeless aboriginals are roaming around the hotel lobby and in the ground floor washrooms. Pretty annoying! Reception staff needs to chance the attitude and had to wait for half an hour just to check in. It was around 5pm, not even a busy check in time. Just one person was at the reception and pretty slow. Pool was good, but pool deck needs a good clean. Cleaner was nice! Location was close to the wharf of you are heading for a great barrier reef trip or just returning to the airport.
