For this price point, the room is quite spacious and clean, and comes with a fridge and microwave, making it pretty good value for money. The only downside is that the hotel's room rates fluctuate quite a bit; often, booking in advance is more expensive, while sometimes booking on the same day can be cheaper.
A $100 AUD deposit was required at check-in, which was refunded on the day of departure. Overall, good value for money.

Dori.CWe booked an ocean-view room on the 11th floor, and the living room connected to a super-sized balcony offered absolutely stunning views! Every day, we'd step out to watch the sunrise, soak up the sun, and enjoy breakfast with the sunlight – it was such a delightful way to spend our days! The location is incredibly convenient, with the nearest beach just a five-minute walk away. There's a bus stop right downstairs, so you can easily get anywhere (the coastline is truly long, so bus rides can take a while!). We captured the sparkling coastline at sunset from North Burleigh Lookout and truly understood why it's called the 'Gold' Coast! The room facilities were also comprehensive, with a laundry room and kitchen. Coles and Woolworths are within walking distance at the Cavill Avenue intersection, so we bought groceries and cooked several meals ourselves. These three days were arguably the most relaxed days of our entire Australia trip.

I was very satisfied. There is a shop near the hotel, which is very helpful. Due to its location, it is a place where you do not have to eat. The hotel employees are very nice.

The so-called 'SPA pool' is just a warm water pool. There are two outdoor swimming pools, one heated and one not. The main issue is that both the SPA and swimming pools are almost always closed after dark, with no clear closing times. Other than that, there aren't many special facilities. In the room, both the bathtub and shower faucets are fixed, without extendable hoses, which makes them less convenient to use.

This is my fourth time staying at Crystalbrook Riley on the Esplanade when visiting Cairns. It's a king of both looks and value for money!
**Location is superb**: Right on the Esplanade boardwalk, just a few minutes' walk to the marina and night market, super convenient for catching boats to the Great Barrier Reef. I love strolling along the boardwalk, it's so relaxing!
**Full of resort vibes**: My favorite is the outdoor pool with an artificial beach – sunshine, clear water, and sand, perfect for photos! There's also a safe shallow area for kids.
**Breakfast recommendation**: The breakfast is extensive. You absolutely have to try sitting in the outdoor dining area, enjoying a delicious breakfast while overlooking the ocean. It's the perfect way to start your day energetically.
**Thoughtful details**: The rooms are modern and minimalist, and the bedding is clean and comfortable.
Overall, this is a luxury hotel that blends modern design with a tropical flair, suitable for both couples on a romantic getaway and families on vacation. Next time I'm in Cairns, I'll definitely choose Crystalbrook Riley again!

Guest UserWhen we arrived at Paradise Island Resort, first impressions were fantastic. The lobby was peaceful, clean, and welcoming, and the facilities—including the pool, sauna, and gym—looked excellent. We were genuinely excited to settle into our room and enjoy a relaxing week away.
Unfortunately, that excitement lasted only until we opened the door.
The room appeared as though it had been forgotten rather than prepared for new guests. There was a thick layer of dust on the carpet, the light fittings were home to an impressive collection of bugs, and the walls were covered in scratches from furniture being moved over the years. The ceiling fans had so much dust built up they clearly hadn't been cleaned in months, and the windows still had handprints from previous guests. Even the fridge hadn't been cleaned before our arrival.
The bedding wasn't much better. We were provided with only a bottom sheet and a stained blanket that looked like it should have been retired long ago.
Unfortunately, cleanliness wasn't the only issue. Several parts of the room simply didn't function as they should. The kitchen tap leaked so heavily that washing dishes flooded the benchtop. The dishwasher wouldn't turn on at all. The bath couldn't be used because the diverter to switch from the tap to the shower didn't work. The ceiling fan shook so violently when switched on that it looked ready for take-off—along with launching months' worth of dust around the room.
Even more concerning were the cracked electrical switches. They didn't exactly inspire confidence. If you're visiting the Gold Coast looking for thrills, I'd recommend skipping Movie World and simply charging your phone in this room—the unexpected jolt certainly gets the heart racing.
The balcony was reasonably tidy, aside from the soggy tissue thoughtfully left behind by a previous guest. A charming finishing touch.
The complimentary amenities were equally underwhelming: two coffee sachets, three sugar sachets, one tea bag, a small shampoo, and three bars of soap. Need another towel? That'll be an extra $3. Even the toilet paper was so thin it made the public bathrooms around Surfers Paradise seem luxurious by comparison.
As someone who works as a cleaner, I was genuinely shocked by the condition of this room. If I left a property in this state, my manager would have me back immediately to finish the job properly. This wasn't a matter of high standards—it simply wasn't clean or adequately maintained.
It's disappointing because the resort itself has so much potential. The common areas and facilities create the expectation of a quality stay, but the accommodation falls well short of that standard.
For the price we paid, this was simply unacceptable. I've stayed in budget motels that were cleaner, better maintained, and better equipped.
Paradise Island Resort, you have a beautiful property. Now it's time to give the rooms the same level of care as the lobby. Do better.

SimarulongThe location is great, just a 1-minute walk from the light rail station. I had to change rooms once because, even though the first room had lovely warm sunlight, it was too close to the road and very noisy. After communicating with the front desk through my program, I was moved to the other side. The front desk attendant was a very polite, handsome young Chinese-Indonesian man.
The room was quite large and relatively clean, with daily housekeeping. There were also two complimentary bottles of water. However, the 'sea view room' wasn't really a sea view room; 80% of it didn't offer a sea view, and I could only glimpse 20% of the sea through a small gap. It's better than nothing, I suppose. But it was the cheapest hotel I stayed at during my 10 days in Queensland, and it included breakfast, so it was still a good value for money.

Guest UserGot the room at a discounted rate hence I presumed i was allocated a low level which was facing the back(car park lot) which had absolutely no views at all.
Front desk Service was attentive and friendly. Gym facility was decently stocked up with equipments however bear in mind, the facilities are shared with actual residents of the apartment as well. Loved the complimentary laundry on level3. Would definitely be back but would recommend staying on higher floors.
