Our Cairns holiday

The accommodation was as we expected for the price we paid, however, they should not advertise wifi as none of us ever managed to connect and the four of us had to rely on my telephone to be able to connect. We would have liked bigger saucepans (there was a huge pot and two tiny saucepans), and sharper chef knives which were very blunt.

It’s a nice apartment. Location is excellent, but apartment not very clean. I had a toddler with me, so often you have to bend to get stuff from under bed or couch and I could see dust and moth.
Also the second bathroom was clogged and it flooded, we didn’t complain because we didn’t have time to wait for a plumber

Great Stay - No WiFi

Overall - we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a two bedroom end unit, so the views of the sunrise and beach were magnificent. It was spacious and felt clean (although we did come across a couple of cockroaches). The building is older, but the place has been updated. Good water pressure. Solid washer/dryer. All the amenities we needed. Not a far Uber ride from the wharf/boardwalk area with many restaurants (typically cost us around $10AUD and less than 10 minutes to get there).

Everyone was helpful and very nice.

The walls are THIN. You can hear everything from surrounding rooms. I jumped out of bed several times because it sounded like our doors were being opened, but it was apartments around us. It was unsettling for it to sound like it was coming from inside our apartment.

WiFi is AWFUL. It felt like it was off most of the time because our phones didn’t even see the network. They told us it was not great when we checked in, but it was nonexistent. If you need internet, budget for using your own data.

The apartment we stayed in was clean and well equipped and had wonderful water views. The furnishings were comfortable and of a good standard. The only downside of our stay was the distance to the town.

Great Stay!

Coral Towers is an older style property with fantastic views over the Cairns North parkland and ocean. It has a beautiful, clean and sparkling pool. The property overall is very well-maintained. Our apartment was comfortably furnished and well-equipped with everything we needed. It was light, bright, spacious and pleasantly decorated. It had good air-conditioning and a great balcony. The property manager, Tony, was very friendly and helpful. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again. The only downside was that we didn't have a car and it was a fair walk in the heat to get to shops and restaurants.

not bad stay but not very pleasant. rate 7/10

Too far to walk to / too close to drive in the central but the lady was friendly, room was spacious with good furniture. cleanness is up to expectation. excellent place for 1 or 2 nights. any longer...not sure because: they don't top up any supply in the room. we bought 2 bedroom ocean view apartment for 5 nights. For the length, we had 4 sachets of coffee, 150ml milk, one spare toilet roll, most small conditioner shampoo for each. had to make quite a few trips to supermarket that also increased the luggage to carry, which was a pain. all the other 'self-contained' apartment we stayed happily provided what we needed on request. Wifi is super slow like a dial up connection, constantly dropping every 5min. Totally unusable. We ended up spending few GB on our mobile data. Parking was pretty challenging. Not recommended for SUV or larger as all easy to park spots are reserved for long stayer / owner occupied apartments. Also, we usually have breaky in balcony. this was impossible as the outdoor unit of the air conditioner keeps blowing us hot air and the very small space didn't allow us to move the table set anywhere. Pretty disappointed. \"ocean view\" was a joke. we could only see it through a small window located in the corner of the master bedroom (must stand in front of it) or must go out to the hot balcony and turn your head. no other window let us view ocean. not bad stay but not very pleasant. I rate 7/10. I think any better reviews are from guests who didn't stay long.

Great location, very nice apartment

Stayed two nights over Easter. Paid $215 per night and had a family of 2 adults and 3 kids. Were given a fold out bed for the third child. The apartment has everything you need, is in a great location. We had views to the esplanade which were very nice. The only complaint is that the ensuite attached to the main bedroom is very small. Nothing they can do about that though (should have been slightly different placement of basin and it would have worked). That's really the only complaint that I can come up with. We would stay again and we would be happy to recommend it to friends.

Decent apartments close to Esplanade

We booked 2 two bedroom apartments for 4 nights for a party of 3 adults, 2 seniors and 2 children. The apartments are located within walking distance (20 mins or so) to Esplanade. The hosts (Tony and Sandy) were fantastic. They were very accommodating and gave us a ton of great information. We locked ourselves out the last night and they were there within minutes to fix it! The apartments themselves are comfortable albeit a little dated. Also, they are not serviced apartments (you do not have daily maid service etc), something to be aware of depending on the duration of your stay. Overall, worked well for our purposes.

We booked a 2 bedroom ocean view room for four nights with our two adult sons. When we checked in Sandy advised us that she had upgraded us to a deluxe room which was a lovely surprise. The room was beautifully furnished, spacious and very comfortable. The view out to the bay from both rooms and lounge were stunning. The area is quiet apart from the occasional aircraft taking off but as my family are aircraft nuts this was more of a bonus than an issue.

Coral Towers was a nice stay for those renting a car staying outside of downtown. Our apartment had a fantastic view. Each apartment appeared different in decor. Unfortunately we received one that hasn't been renovated so it looked older and outdated. Others looked much nicer and updated.

To actually have the onwer - Sandy spend over an hour showing us the tours and then booking them for us later and even phoning rental cars for prices and checking weather forecasts for the best day to go out to the great barrier reef was customer service that we have never seen anywhere else in our travels ! ! wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here and we actually did again for another 3 nights on our return to cairns .

Fantastic Hotel on the Eplanade

We loved everything about Coral Towers. We rented a 2 bedroom deluxe that faced the water. Every room has a lovely view over the water. Even the kitchen is designed so you have a view. Lots of space and two balconies. Very comfy beds and furniture, and well equipped kitchen. Small pool with lovely outdoor eating space and gas BBQ. Sandy was absolutely delightful and was full of advise about trips, restaurants etc. and was able to make bookings. Located about a 20 minute walk from the lagoon and restaurant area. The walk is along the esplanade and board walk by the water with beautiful trees and birds. I would most certainly stay here again.

Great for an Extended Stay

We rented a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit with ocean view, which was upgraded to a deluxe unit. These are older units that have been updated. Master bedroom had a queen bed with bathroom and the second bedroom has 2 single beds.Kitchen is fully equip, is good for cooking meals but lacks nonstick cookware and could use smaller pan sizes. Unit has a small dishwasher and a good washer and dryer. Furnishings was acceptable but most had scratches and stains from prior abuse. Air condition, 1 in the living and both bedrooms, was really good. Unit had only 2 bath and wash towels per bathroom which required washing them every couple of days. There is no service of the unit if your stay is shorter then 8 days. Reception and office closes by 5:30pm weekdays and no staff is available until the next day. Unit had a great ocean view and sunny location. Main part of town, restaurants and stores is about a 20 minute walk along the ocean or a $10 taxi ride. Location is better with a car but not hard to get around by walking or buses. Most all tour companies will pick you up and return you to this location. Sandy at reception was very friendly and helpful in booking all our tours around the area. She will go the extra mile for you, if needed. We were quite comfortable in the unit, slept well and was fairly quiet. Overall, while I noted some minor inconveniences in this review, I would stay again at Coral Towers if I return to Cairns.
