This hotel is good, the cleaning service is done a bit too late in the day, ( always after 3pm) but the staff are nice, the food is good and they hotel is basic but clean. The Rooftop bar also closes at 8.30pm which is a little early.

This is a great choice right in the heart of the promenade area. Lagoon is literally steps away out front, tons of restaurants all around. Convenience store just around corner and short walk to big Woolworths. Room was comfortable and well designed (we got the deluxe with two twins) with a nice separate sitting area and table/chairs. Good value for money and lovely staff!

I chose this hotel because of its close proximity to the city center, water, and reef trip dock, and it was perfect for what I needed. It was nice, modern, and clean. My favorite surprise was the spectacular, restaurant-level breakfast options with an amazing view of the water. Definitely a good choice if staying in Cairns.

Would highly recommend. ALL staff were lovely and helpful, however, the staff in the restaurant were above and beyond helpful and gracious (in particular, Sara, our waitress made us feel so welcome we felt part of the Oaks family). We had a wheelchair accessible room, and although compact (hotel room) it catered for my mobility issues to the highest degree - dare I say, designed by someone with a disability perhaps? - and it was far superior to other hotels we've stayed in with larger rooms - none I've experienced (over many years) have done it better than Oaks on the Esplanade in Cairns! Well done, and keep up the great work! Would love to return one day :) 5 stars!!
