Our stay at this hotel in Cairns was wonderful. The place is beautiful and you can see different animals around, which makes the experience even more special. The service was 10/10, especially thanks to Sarah, who was very kind and helpful to us.
The only downside is that the facilities are a bit old, but overall it was a great experience.

The beds were so old and hard, my husband slept on the couch and I slept on one of the kids single beds instead. The noise in the apartment was terrible, you can hear everyone in the stairwell and the footsteps on the floor above. There were also conatantly flies everywhere, even with all the screens closed. For the prive we paid I expected alot more. I will say the pool area is very family friendly though, which we enjoyed.

Coral Sands was incredibly beautiful! The rooms were spectacular, amenities were great and the location was great. Only disappointment was that you had to hire swimming towels and the office was shut by the time we got there so were unable to do this
