"Staff were great! Very clean room and hotel. Looks exactly like the photos which is always good. The pool was lovely and has good opening hours - so nice to have it open into the late evening for a swim after a hot day. Room was lovely and has everything you need including a balcony. Not too far a distance from lots of the main attractions! "

Hilton Cairns
10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Hilton has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. Eena at reception was absolutely beautiful—her calm, friendly nature instantly eased the stress of our travels and set the tone for a peaceful stay.
Each morning, Lyli at the café made our experience even more delightful. Her kindness, attentiveness, and warm smile brightened our day and made us feel truly cared for.
Thank you to the whole team for creating such a lovely experience. What could have been a stressful trip turned into something calm, comfortable, and truly memorable. We will definitely be back!"
