Mostly good
Good location on less busy end of Esplanade. Front desk, wait staff and housekeeping staff all super-friendly, efficient and helpful. Great pools. On the downside, the carpets in our room were badly stained. We were told they were going to be replaced. In the meantime they felt ikky and spoiled our room experience.

Lovely modern and clean hotel
This was our second stay at Crystalbrook Riley and we had another 5 star experience. Rooms felt nice and clean and modern, wonderful pool and onsite facilities and restaurants. Walking distance from the Esplanade and everything we wanted to do in Cairns. Hoping to return sometime soon 😊

Amazing view
Had a really good 4 night stay at Riley. Everyone was very helpful and tried their best to accomodate my request. Our view was fantastic and to die for. The robes could be better though. (Bit itchy to wear) Overall, I definitely recommend staying et Riley.

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the location and the room. Beautiful pool. Lovely staff except for one Australian girl when checking in. Was rude to her colleague -and nudged her to move as she was checking us in and told us move over harshly. Being in hospitality ourselves was very shocked at her behaviour. Other than that was all perfect. I think people should be warned not to go out by yourself at night as our 22 year old son was walking to Woolworths at 8pm to be confronted by a gang of indigenous youths with knives on there belts. They pushed him and fortunately he is a fast runner he took off and they chased him. Police were roaming the area which stopped them. We were then warned by many locals about this happening. Foreign travellers especially need to know about the youth crime in the area.

Pool was in a great spot for the sun. Calypso bar lovely place to spend an afternoon. Only negative thing was the rooms ac . Couldnt set the temp below 21 and when reported to reception they did something on the computer at reception so the ac only went on full fan and full cooling ,so it would stay down to 14 deg .The service guy never showed up after requesting 3 times .
