Enjoyed a nice stay during Christmas break. Staff was nice. Eena at reception took the extra initiative to help us get our laundry taken care of same day. Rooms were a older but the balcony was nice. Loved how bright the lobby was. The gym was small and had some older equipment but did the job. Location was perfect. Overall a comfortable friendly stay!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Cairns and is one of the better Hiltons I have stayed at recently. Rooms are large, modern, and well appointed. The property itself is located perfectly, only a few steps from the marina where many Reef tours depart and not a long walk from the main town, making it easy to grab a bite to eat. I especially liked the pool area where there is an extremely large pool with an abundance of seating in both the sun and shade. The gym is on the small side and without a ton of equipment, which was the only demerit for the property. The breakfast buffet was fantastic and appreciated that Diamond members get the upgraded breakfast for free. I also appreciated their well appointed executive lounge. Staff at breakfast and in the buffet were especially kind and friendly.
