The property offers 311 rooms and suites, and many have balconies, with some units offering urban, resort, or sea views. Family rooms include two bedrooms and two bathrooms, while other rooms and suites bring in details such as blackout blinds, a rainforest shower head, a 55-inch Smart TV, free Wi-Fi, and a Nespresso coffee machine with recyclable pods. An in-room Apple iPad control center adds another layer of convenience, and kitchen access is available where applicable. Around the property, the pace is easy to shape to your day. You can start with breakfast, linger by the lagoon pool, or make time for the day spa, hot tub, and 24-hour fitness center. There are also restaurants and bars on site, along with parking, accessibility features, and guest services that support a smooth stay. The result is a stay that feels polished, centrally located, and tuned to the rhythm of Cairns.
