Why it's worth checking out
Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns sits on Abbott Street in Cairns City, close to the waterfront in tropical Far North Queensland. With more than 2,500 reviews behind its 3.9 rating, it's a popular, well-located base.
The appeal is position and resort facilities — a large resort close to the Cairns Esplanade, the famous lagoon, the reef terminals and the city's dining, with the kind of pools and amenities that suit families and travellers. That makes it a practical pick for exploring the reef, the rainforest and the tropics.
Room rates, availability and hotel facilities change with the season and demand, and Cairns gets busy in peak tourist periods. Confirm current rates and what your stay includes directly with the resort before booking, particularly during peak times.
