Would highly recommend. ALL staff were lovely and helpful, however, the staff in the restaurant were above and beyond helpful and gracious (in particular, Sara, our waitress made us feel so welcome we felt part of the Oaks family). We had a wheelchair accessible room, and although compact (hotel room) it catered for my mobility issues to the highest degree - dare I say, designed by someone with a disability perhaps? - and it was far superior to other hotels we've stayed in with larger rooms - none I've experienced (over many years) have done it better than Oaks on the Esplanade in Cairns! Well done, and keep up the great work! Would love to return one day :) 5 stars!!

Great location, quiet room
Overall, nice stay! Hotel is centrally located, very convenient for reef tours, esplanade, bars and restaurants. Rooms come at different service levels, etc. Ours looked “out” onto an internal wall, which turned out to be great in terms of noise. Super quiet room! Our room also came with no housekeeping, which seems to be a popular option in Australia. This means that you have to restock your own room at the front desk/ reception. Other than this, room was in great condition! Would recommend hotel!

We are very snobby and this is easily the best hotel room we have ever had. We want to copy the bathroom design into our own home.

Couldn’t sleep
Though staff were friendly and helpful, the place was very noisy, especially if your room is next to the lift. Noise coming from guests within the hotel as well as outside.

Ant-infested dump and fraudulent charges
I think this genuinely may have been the worst experience I’ve ever had with a hotel. I booked a 3-night stay. I didn’t see the room properly until midnight, at which point I found thousands of tiny little ants all over my room, and disgusting unidentified stains all over the bedsheets hidden underneath the duvet. I wasn’t able to go elsewhere at midnight despite phoning probably every hotel in Cairns, so they found me another room which was clean enough, and I left the next morning to the promise of a refund of 2 nights of my stay. This was not the end of the saga. It later turned out that they had taken 2 large payments from my account for no reason. They refunded one of these, as well as the original refund for the unused nights, but I am still yet to receive the second back. It is pending in my bank account, the hotel said they couldn’t find it, and they haven’t responded to my email. Overall, this hotel took close to 3x the original cost of the stay, essentially emptying my bank account. The entrance was also a popular spot for people taking drugs - not to pass judgement on people in terribly unfortunate life circumstances, but as a woman alone it felt very unsafe having large groups of people yelling and lunging at me whenever I entered and left.

Beautiful hotel in the perfect location.
Great room with a beautiful view over the trees looking out at the esplanade. The room was spotless, we choose the option not to have daily cleaning - but were offered towels if we needed. The location was amazing - centre of The Esplanade. The night markets were a few shops down. McDonalds was located at the front of the building. And everything else was a short walk away. Only negative was being on the 4th floor the intermittent noises from the rooftop bar/restaurant went from about 6am-10pm. If your a light sleep I'd suggest asking from a room on level 3 - but then you'll lose the beautiful view. Overall I'd recommend the Oaks for its amazing location and new well appointed rooms.
