I really liked the system that they use to get access to the room, the room for four persons is the most comfortable in my opinion; The crew was really nice, the bathrooms were always availables and the AC in the room was awesome! The ambience in there is cool, I didn't socialize because I was doing some extra activities, but everyone seems happy there. It was a good experience, I completly recommend that hostel.

DIGISH

From

India

Rooms are spacious, all face the pool which has tropical feel. Rain forest set up in the pool is remarkable, with jacuzzi on the mountain in the pool. The hotel is away from city center, which is good and bad, but is well connected. There is a mall adjacent which provides for good options for food and engagement for kids and adults.

The food was great, we had stayed for a week and we always found ourselves heading to pizza joint for dinner. The three pools gave us options to relax and enjoy the day. Location of the resort was great for travels out of cairns towards Hartley's crocodiles and Kuranda.

Satu

From

Finland

We spend 10 nights here and had a great stay. Location is great, right next to big shopping centre with supermarkets and central trainstation (Kuranda scenic train leaves and arrives here). Within walking distance to town central, beach, restaurants etc. We only needed car for one day because of this. The facilities in the kitchen were good and we made breakfast ourselves everyday but one. Everything was clean and tidy. Dishwasher and laundry machine came in handy. Airconditioning was on both rooms which was absolutely brilliant. We loved the gym, sauna and the pools. We had some problems with the Wi-Fi but as soon as we mentioned it to the reception we got Wi-Fi extender and had no more problems. Chromecast in the room gave nice touch for vacay!
