GREAT stay at the Riley hotel!!! We came for our honeymoon and got a special note and a bottle of wine from the hotel, what a great start for the vacation. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, went above and beyond to help in anything and gave us recommendations for the area. Always smiled at us when we passed by. The hotel itself is very beautiful, the pool (with sand) is amazing and the room was fully equipped with all that we needed. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we were ever in the region again.

Great location close to everything! The receptionists were all very friendly and very helpful. The environment is very cozy and throughout the stay was so comfortable and relaxing. I would like to give extra credits to the receptionists that helped to get back the toys my two year old son threw over the balcony to the property below us! We appreciated their help so much and we highly recommend them if you want to look for 5 stars accommodation in Cairns! 😊😊😊

The hotel is terrific. The room was lovely. The layout was chic and modern, and cool. The bed was very comfortable. The facilities were great and the staff were very friendly and professional. The little balcony gave good views of the sea, the esplanade and Cairns, and those views were superb from the 9th floor! It's a uniquely furnished/finished hotel that pleases the eye. Parking was easy and undercover.

I loved the view it was spectacular and the access to facility was superb. I love the feeling of staying in a luxurious room that was well stocked to my liking. That staff where also fabulous with accomodating any of my needs especially when I requested a bath tub prior to my arrival.
