베이 빌리지 트로피컬 리트리트

Always stay in this hotel Closed to the Esplanade and walk to the centre 30min Bus right from the hotel Excellent balinese food Friendly staff

The rooms were clean and tidy, rubbish bins were emptied daily and the bathroom was cleand too. The staff were exceptional. Only problem was a shortage of secure parking places, only 7 exist for the whole hotel.

The Bayleaf is a bit far from the action in Cairns. The location offers very few restaurants to chose from and the breakfasts are expensive and marginal. Beds are quite uncomfortable - cheap foam mattresses and the TV entertainment is poor - primarily only local sports channels. Although it is two stories, there us no elevator, which can be a huge inconvenience for many. The lack of elevators seems to be a plague in a country that should know better.

Parking was not provided though was part of the booking.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bay Village Tropical Retreat. Good value for money, location is alright. Just to note we had to pay a $100 deposit when we arrived, in case we lost the key. Not sure the amount was proportionate but at least we were refunded quickly. Staff was helpful, the hotel is nice.
