Great Location in Cairns - beachside, bars, restaurants and a beautiful esplanade to walk every day
Pros:

Breakfast at Paper Crane was always greeted with a smile and service was exceptional - Lovely Staff all around,

Cons:

Pool area stunning - only prob was first in best dressed - with reference to getting a lazy boy - and with towels/clothes laid meant the seat was taken and therefore no availability to poolside.
