We had a great wonderful time at the Cairns Aquarius. We had a 3 bedroom apartment. It was fully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and was very spacious and bright. It is close to the ESplanade and great restaurants. The checkin and checkout process was smooth and the manager was available by email for a small issue we had.
