“Cairns Plaza Hotel understands the assignment: views of Trinity Bay, family-friendly amenities across the road, and spacious suites with kitchenettes that bridge the gap between hotel room and apartment. I think that the attentive staff elevate the experience. It's a smart pick, especially if Great Barrier Reef adventures and a central location are what you are after.”
