The hotel and resort Cairns we liked it so much we instead of 1 week 3 weeks staying there. The breakfast was not so good, but one was full. Walk 5 minutes to plenty of restaurants and bars. One cannot bathe in the sea, but a huge outdoor pool was a good replacement. The best are the boat trips to the Barrier Reef. The city itself was also very interesting. Lots of little shopping centers and souvenir shops. Read more
