Great location, the Shangri-La is right next to the pier where the Great Barrier Reef tours depart. Our room was large with a great view of the harbor and Esplanade. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was very good. Complete amenities.

Don't book with Shangri La level expectations
Unfortunately 3 nights were spent in 3 different rooms meaning a lot of changing around and a generally unsettled experience. Room 1: Originally booked a Deluxe Seaview room and was happy with it - the room was fresh, clean and seemed to have had a somewhat recent facelift. Bed and bathroom were great, as was the balcony and view which was enjoyed. There were a few minor maintenance issues but was happy to overlook these for an overall sense of cleanliness, comfort and the view. On night two there was a very audible, heavy bass beat and sound of a live singer from under the room. Reception they advised it was an external bar under the hotel and as it was a Friday night it would be going until at least midnight. Therefore they offered a room change, and although I didn't want to pack up at that time of night, they compromised with a room across the hall. Room 2: This was similar to the original room with a view into the internal tropical gardens and was of the same standard. I would say the bass of the bar below was still audible but to a lesser extent and I was able to sleep with earplugs. Room 3: The hotel kindly upgraded me to a suite which went above and beyond along with breakfast as an apology for the disruption. I believe was a Marina Suite and while this afforded more space and a view as had been booked, the overall quality of the room seemed lesser than the original Deluxe Seaview. Overall the staff were excellent however room product not in keeping with Shangri La

The location is excellent, with a few minutes walking to the marina, many restaurants, and shops. The room is spacious, clean, and quiet. The pool is large and beautiful filled with warm water. They provide very affordable valet laundry service.
