We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. The facilities were excellent, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. The location was also very convenient, making it easy to get around. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Good
Nice enough stay overall, but I don’t think this property lives up to its 5-star luxury rating. While the hotel is comfortable and the staff were pleasant, it lacks the level of service, attention to detail, and overall experience you’d expect at this price point. Compared with other genuine luxury properties, it simply doesn’t offer the same standard. In my opinion, it’s not worth what they charge.

All around excellence. Great view of the bay. Short walk to the boardwalk. Easy walk to the pier. Breakfast was great. The staff is just the best. We felt welcomed by everyone and were well taken care of. I recommend the Riley to anyone coming to Cairns.
