Cairns Beach Resort

Nice big balcony, pool-spa great. Easy parking. Friendly staff

Beware, this hotel is not what it appears. It is really not a resort it is more of a long term rental. Holloway Beach is not Cairns, it is at least a 20 minute drive to anything to do with Cairns. And there is virtually nothing to do in Holloway Beach, one tiny cafe and a very small pizza place. The beach is closed. This resort is old and tired, reception closes at 5pm, the place is kind of spooky.

Great bed, pool is wonderful

I can’t believe the five star reviews this place gets from some. They must have had a far better room than we were given. We were so disappointed with our accommodation. Agree grounds and pool are lovely. Agree location is great. But that’s where it ended for us. Booked a superior apartment. Thought we would get a top apartment. ( and if not aware the place has stairs only no lifts.) It was not cleaned properly, room was dirty, chipped furniture, bed as hard as rocks, fridge needed a clean, outdated, so need of an upgrade to be of standard I’d expect of a superior room in a place advertised as a resort. Wifi, woeful. Seriously this is so sub standard in today’s world. Visitors want access to technology in their apartment. Best thing about the place was the cafe/restaurant across the road. So think twice if this is a consideration for you. Ask the staff if you can see the room first, or check it out. Can only report on our experience. The reviews are a mixture of good and not so good, so maybe there are better rooms. Good luck! Cairns and surrounds is a fabulous place for a holiday, when it’s not raining!

The place was beautiful as it had an amazing garden which had a plethora of plant life that added to the peaceful atmosphere. The pool was clean and well maintained. The beach was opposite the property which was convenient. The room furnishing was old and the bathroom could use an upgrade. We stayed in the premium garden facing room. But overall it was a good stay.

Good location, right on beach. Unfortunately very noisy with trucks loaded with rocks coming past every 10 mins due to beach erosion work. Should calm down once job complete. Unit could do with a freshen up. No oven or d/w but rest of kichen ok. Management very good.
