Shangri La The Marina Cairns

The location was great. Staff was very helpful. Hotel looked a little tired though bathrooms were upgraded. Curtains looked dingy.

It was my second time staying in this hotel after 16 years. We had a great time at our One bedroom suite & Executive Marina View Suite. Check In was smooth, all the staff were so helpful. We enjoyed the food and the peace at the Horizon Club. Breakfast at the Backyard was a plus with a wide range of varieties. The only down side was the first night after we checked-in, the whole city of Cairns had a power shortage. We were stuck in the hotel lobby for about two hours. It was frustrating as we never knew if the power would be back. Was abit disappointed that no other alternatives were being offered by the hotel at that point. But I really much appreciated that the staff came to us proactively for a chat and offered us some water, while they were all sweating. They still remained professional and calm. Thanks to the team, especially Mr. Ivan. We definitely would come back if we visit Cairns again.

Location of the hotel was great for where we wanted to be. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Room was spacious and nice bathroom. Nice restaurants around to choose from off the marina. Would have been nice to have breakfast included but the buffet was very good.

The Hotel is amazing!!

Nice size rooms and very convenient to restaurants and tour activities

Really impressed with all facilities

It was fine but perhaps not special. Cheers

Nice place to stay

Great size room with excellent views of the sea. Hotel looked a little tired especially the pool and carpeted areas. Not withstanding this we enjoyed our stay here

Had a great time! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The botanical garden is just amazing- opening the balcony door and seeing that every morning made it that much and more!

Good place. right on the Marina.. Short walk from all major places

Nice stay. Strongly recommend

Great hotel in a perfect location. We had a marina view room which had wonderful views. Pool and pool area inc bar was very good with ple ty of loungers and umbrellas. Resturant was excellant and so were all staff. Great hotel location for walks trip pickups and other bars shops and resturants. Would highly recommend.

Nice place to stay; close to the cruise terminals amd city centre.

Daily clean, close to everything you want to visit and must see and play. Restaurants are just around the corner, staff are so friendly abd helpful

The location was great. Hotel is a bit outdated but overall we had an enjoyable visit.

Great hotel, right on the marina and just a short walk from the busy esplanade with the shops and restaurants, the room was large, the pool was a good size and warm. The restaurant looks out onto the marina, were we watched the boats leaving while at breakfast.

Excellent hotel, great location. 10 minutes from the airport So close to many quality dining options. As well as the night markets, main shopping precinct. Pool is great. Our 3rd trip to Cairns, 2nd time staying at the Shangri La and would again. Highly recommend.

We stayed at the Horizon Suite - the views are beautiful. Service at the reception was also excellent. A fair few things to improve on: 1. The hotel furniture/washroom fixtures etc all seem very dated and need immediate upkeep. Even very quick fixes like chipped drain blockers seem to be missed 2. The bedroom of the horizon suite was really small; much smaller than other suites I have stayed in and didn't have a TV or even enough plug points to charge electronics. It's one of the hotel's more premium rooms so it definitely should have these amenities. 3. The pool area washrooms similarly need urgent renovation - there were towels scattered all over the floor which made it look more like a public toilet than a Shangri-la washroom! 4. Service at the breakfast restaurant was subpar. We had ordered the barista made coffee and were in a rush - the lady serving us seemed annoyed to have the extra work. Even really simple things like bringing the bill to our table Vs asking us to go to the counter mid breakfast to sign for our coffees..

Location is great and within all the amenities. The staff is very friendly and highly recommended
