Individual guest reviews

• Rydges Plaza Cairns

  Excellent location right in the centre of Cairns itself, as always the beds in all Rydges hotels are just fantastic and the staff are young and friendly enough, training up to move on no doubt. The room is very spacious, meals ordered at the bar are great value and are really tasty, the pool is large and has plenty of comfortable/shaded seating.
