You will not get any frills here and the pool was not even swimable. However, we stayed here only for a place to crash before a very early flight. The front desk staff were very helpful in ordering a cab for us. When we checked in they wanted to charge us an extra $30 for our daughter- although we got... more

the staff at reception were very helpful and helped us book a few trips, all of which were great. sadly our room had view of the car park and was next to the laundry. the room was cleaned daily but our sheets were not changed at any point during our 6 night stay - and it had been very warm... more

My sister, Mrs Lee Rich and I had the great pleasure of staying at the Discovery Cairns Hotel on 14/15th November 2009 while attending a conference at the Cairns Convention Centre. We shared a room which we found very comfortable with the necessary amenties to make our stay enjoyable. We found the room service staff very friendly and over all... more

Discovery Cairns was a great place to stay for us as we wanted to be able to walk around and not have to hire a car. We stayed for 5 days but wished it was longer. There are so many tours to do and we would have liked longer to laze by the pool. We ate at the restaurant several... more

My recent stay at Discovery Cairns proved to be far better than expected. On a budget, I was skeptical with what I’d get but was pleasantly surprised. On arrival, the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with tour options and local information. My room was all I required; clean, comfortable and quiet. The restaurant dished up great food and... more

This place is totally over rated and definitely not a resort (by any means of the word). We stayed for 2 nights (never again) in a bed that was 2 singles pushed together and had a massive ridge in the middle- and we were on our honeymoon too. The room had a window, but unless you wanted everyone walking past... more

The Discovery Resort is clean and comfortable and very reasonable. The rooms are a decent size too and the pools are quite nice. It’s about ten – fifteen mins from Cairns city centre but if you walk along the seafront it’s a pleasant enough walk. I suppose it isn’t a “resort” as such and people may get mislead by that... more
