“This hotel stands out with its modern design and commitment to sustainability, placing it steps from the Cairns Esplanade. The glass-walled pools and live music at Boardwalk Social create a vibrant atmosphere, while the cash-free system adds a layer of ease that I appreciate. Though one guest noted a musty smell initially, the prompt, friendly service ultimately left a positive impression.”
