Hotel in zona Cairns Esplanade Lagoon, Cairns

This is definitely a place that is orientated more towards families rather than couples. What was good was the friendly staff throughout the resort, the food and beverage service and the convenient underground parking. Stayed in a deluxe king room on the fifth floor overlooking Cairns city which appears to have been recently upgraded. Room smelt damp on entry and after the first shower it was evident why. It is hard to believe that someone designed the shower so that water flowed directly onto the floor and out into the living area even when you had the least amount of water flow possible. Wee bit of a design flaw I would suggest. Also, when booking a King size bed it would be a good idea to ask guests if they want a second bed in the room along with connecting rooms. I personally have no wish to have connecting rooms unless I am staying as a family. This door along with the front door were not particularly well sealed and you could here plenty of noise from outside and next door. The balcony is marketed as being intimate in yet has one chair and being a connecting room has nothing between you and your neighbours balcony. Hardly intimate. Based on the reviews I am sure this place is perfect for families however, there are better choices for couples elsewhere in Cairns.

Ho avuto una doppia camera vista sul mare.Molto bella vista.La migliore posizione, la marcia di mare è vicino all'hotel (posso vedere al mio balcone).Ho letto recensioni dicendo che è vecchia, ma in realtà è mantenuta in modo accettabile.Non aspettare il lussuoso design 5 stelle Il bagno è grande,con una piccola piscina riscaldata.Il giardino è piccolo ma sufficiente,sempre vuoto.Le camere sono pulite, aggiornate quotidianamente.Sii attento il bagno ha solo mezzo vetro coperto, nessun inondazione sarebbe accaduto se fosse attento. Molto piacevole, molto utile e buon personale di servizio frontale. Molto buono per il valore.

One of the best and spacious hotel rooms in Cairns ..so comfortable and lots of room and space to move around ..friendly staff they make your checking in so easy and you can sleep Like a baby in their very comfortable bed .Will love to return again to Pullman when opportunity avails.

Staff were very friendly, location was the best to walk around the city. Actual room facilities are relatively a bit outdated (no usb receptive chargers) but nothing to complain about. Thanks again to the extremely friendly Korean staff member at the front desk.

Molto grande lobby da iniziare con. Bello hotel in una posizione molto conveniente. Abbiamo una buona vista vista sul mare, che è grande. Solo un breve passo ai mercati notturni. Woolworths è ancora più vicino. La fame della selvaggina è proprio all'opuscolo della strada. Quindi tutto è così utile.

The location is excellent, with spectacular views of the ocean - if you had an Oceanview room. I didn’t originally because my travel agent messed up. But the manager, Richard, was super helpful and was able to give me one after some work on his part. My room was spacious, clean, and had a great view on the top floor. The housekeeping was very good (they promptly replaced a worn out chair), the laundry was prompt, the premises were clean and quiet, and they had a full buffet breakfast. The best part for me was the air conditioning, which kept the room cool even when it was 94 F outside. Also, the location was less than a km from grocers and about a km from some nice restaurants on the Esplanade. So the hotel suited me perfectly.

La mia famiglia e io abbiamo recentemente soggiornato qui per esplorare il resto di Cairns. Il check-in è stato veloce e facile e la nostra camera è stata pronta un'ora prima di quanto ci aspettava. Abbiamo soggiornato in una camera Superior (n. 459), composta da letti x2 Regina. La stanza era situata verso il retro del resort con una piscina più piccola/quiter e un parcheggio a terra, e la stanza stessa era senza spot con sufficienti asciugamani/prodotti di pulizia per la famiglia. Il resort stesso è coperto in una ricca follietta e diverse piscine, insieme ad un ristorante italiano e flamingos un bar/restaurante che offre una vasta gamma di cibi. A causa della malattia del coliac, i miei figli hanno avuto un lavoro di servizio, sia in alto che in alto, per soddisfare le loro esigenze, e entrambi offrono cibi senza glutine.

Thoroughly enjoyed out time at Blue Lagoon Resort. Booking and checkin was easy. The reception staff where friendly, attentive and professional. Our one bedroom unit was well equipped, spotlessly clean and well maintained. Bed was super comfy. Although we had no trouble it was on the second floor up four flights of stairs with no elevator, some may find this difficult. The resort has two pools, one heated, that are also clean and well maintained. Location is great with several restaurants in easy walking distance. Have breakfast in the onsite restaurant. The eggs benedict was delicious and the servings are generous. The price was reasonable and cheaper than most other options around the northern beaches of Cairns.

We just spent a fantastic week at the Alamanda. Before we arrived they arranged transport for us from (and to) the Cairns airport through Exemplar, an excellent shuttle service. A small discount is applied to the transport charge when the Alamanda makes the booking. From arrival and check in until we reluctantly said goodbye, every staff member including Kiley the manager were helpful and friendly. The kitchen/living area of our oceanfront one bedroom suite (#35) was on the top floor with our spacious en suite bedroom, and a second bathroom with shower, on the floor below. The furnishings are modern, there is Miele equipment in the kitchen and laundry, and the entire place was immaculately clean. The wonderful view from our big balcony took in the beach, palm trees, and one of the three swimming pools. The main pool was being renovated but unlike other reviewers, we never heard any construction noise from it. There was an occasional sound or two from what was probably routine maintenance or minor construction, but it was never a nuisance. The Alamanda is at the end of the main street that runs along the beach and is situated such that the street turns before it passes in front of the side of the building where our suite was located. As far as we could tell this was the only accommodation in Palm Cove that didn’t have the street between it and the beach, so no traffic noise. It is a short walk to the many restaurants, bars, and shops on the main street (DO NOT miss the restaurant Vivo - see separate review). Restaurant La Mesa at the Mantra is very good and gives a discount to Accor members, but only if you have your Accor card with you. There is a small well-stocked grocery store very near Alamanda, and a short distance past the store is the Palm Cove Tavern and bottle shop. Gabi in the office were eager to help us sort out an excursion to Kuranda via the historic train from Freshwater, and back down the mountain via cable car. One tour was based from Cairns which would have required us to pay separately for transport to the train station and back from the cable car station. Upon looking at the many brochures in the office we found a brochure for Brett’s one-day Kuranda tour that originates in Port Douglas with a pick up in Palm Cove, eliminating the need to pay for separate transport. It pays to look closely at the brochures. Gabi booked our tour with Brett’s excellent tour (see separate review) and the charge was put on our room. We have told friends and family about our wonderful stay here and some of them are already planning their visits. We will definitely be back!

Booked this online and didn't know what to expect on arrival! I was stunned to see how beautiful the view was. The rooms are basic but clean. I spent most of the time on the huge balcony enjoying the incredible views anyway. There was everything that you need in the fully equipped kitchen and the pool was lovely. Can't fault the summit
