My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience at the Pullman Hotel. Megan and Matthew were fantastic; they made our stay extra special with a bottle of champagne and chocolates. We also appreciated the early check-in and late check-out, which made our stay even more relaxing. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the casino, and the live music on the weekend. ...

Great stay! I remember when it was called the Sofitel back when I lived in Cairns — it used to be my go-to spot for anniversary stays every year. It’s still a great place, though the rooms haven’t really changed much. The only issue I had was the early morning sunlight coming through; I really struggled to sleep in. My feedback would be to add blackout curtains instead of the blinds — that’s proba...

I found all the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast in Merchant Cafe was delicious with a good variety to choose from on the menu. Entertainment in Bar 36 was outstanding. I flew up from Melbourne to see the Dancing In the Shadows of Motown band and they were fantastic. Big shout out to Jacob In reception who booked our Green Island tour and gave us tips. And I appreciated that we were...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel/casino. The drop off bay for the lobby is not easy to identify however we got it sorted in the end. The reception staff were very good and our room exceeded our expectations. Coffee downstairs in the Merchant Tea Rooms was very good as were the light meals in the casino itself (Flinders …something). We would have no hesitation in staying there again when next ...

Wonderful check-in and check-out experience! Friendly and helpful! Great location to the water / Great Barrier Reef activity office and also the pier where the boat was. The hotel was nice and the cafe and breakfast was great with good food options, coffee and service. The room is definitely aged. Needs updating and re-painting and a bit more cleaning. I stayed for just one night.
