“This hotel stands out for its prime marina location, mere steps from tour boats and dining, eliminating any need for a car. Rooms offer views of the marina, however some rooms might need refurbishment. I would recommend this hotel for travelers looking for comfort in a tropical setting with easy access to the Great Barrier Reef.”
