Great spot on the water. Visited to do some scuba diving on the GBR. All the boats are a short walk from the pier. Plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. Very quiet and staff were pleasant.
My only negative is no ice machine

It shouldn’t be a Hilton, the hotel is outdated and needs renovation. Has the best location and views in Cairns and I believe they can charge more for a proper Hilton. The staff are nice however and would go above and beyond to help.
