End of Year Escape to Cairns
Excellent hotel, great location. 10 minutes from the airport So close to many quality dining options. As well as the night markets, main shopping precinct. Pool is great. Our 3rd trip to Cairns, 2nd time staying at the Shangri La and would again. Highly recommend.

8/10 Very Good

Lovely location and views
We stayed at the Horizon Suite - the views are beautiful. Service at the reception was also excellent. A fair few things to improve on: 1. The hotel furniture/washroom fixtures etc all seem very dated and need immediate upkeep. Even very quick fixes like chipped drain blockers seem to be missed 2. The bedroom of the horizon suite was really small; much smaller than other suites I have stayed in and didn't have a TV or even enough plug points to charge electronics. It's one of the hotel's more premium rooms so it definitely should have these amenities. 3. The pool area washrooms similarly need urgent renovation - there were towels scattered all over the floor which made it look more like a public toilet than a Shangri-la washroom! 4. Service at the breakfast restaurant was subpar. We had ordered the barista made coffee and were in a rush - the lady serving us seemed annoyed to have the extra work. Even really simple things like bringing the bill to our table Vs asking us to go to the counter mid breakfast to sign for our coffees..

Great location. Expected more from a ‘resort’, rooms dated, need a tidy up. Uncomfortable couch and sparsely furnished, cabinet door would not shut. We had a view of a rusty door and a shade cloth area. Balcony small and a slight view of the marina if you stood in the one spot and looked sideways. Noise from other guests at all hours. Television in the room is quite old. Had to take the batteries out of the remote and shuffle them to get it to work. Pool area is nice. We ate there the first night… food was not great, didn’t eat there again. Turned a/c off in our room as it was freezing, however cold air still came through. Cleaning staff were fantastic. All in all a Bit disappointing and probably won’t stay there again.
