Tradewinds was a fantastic hotel

Tradewinds was a fantastic hotel to saty at. 2 minute walk from the centre of town; great amenities; great room; fantastic freindly & helpful staff. Only negative comment is that there was no gym, although the gym at another Rydges up the road was available if willing to walk a couple of minutes.

Rydges Tradewinds - Cairns, Australia

This hotel is older but well maintained. The lobby was clean and the building looked like it had been painted recently. The room size was nice and clean. The carpet had a few stains and there was a very weak odor near my nightstand. The bedspread was old school but clean. Don't freak, these were very minor and did not take away from the vacation. The deluxe rooms were nice because you had an angled but full view of the ocean. The balcony was sizeable and could comfortably accompany 5 to 7 people.

Entertainment tip: Short walk from hotel

Plenty of restaurants and nightlife only three blocks away. Be advised, it's a bit pricey in Australia compared to the states but well worth it. I say again, well worth it! Plenty of dining options including Australian, Chinese, Indian, Italian, salads and good old burgers and fries. In Sydney be sure to go to Paddy's Market on the weekend. In Cairns go to the night market and the market near the Cairns central mall.

We stayed in Oceanfront room. The customer service was great. Room was clean and the view from balcony was fantastic! Great range of breakfast buffet was available and it was really convenient as the restaurant was opened from 6:00 am to 10:00am. Couldn't ask for more and very happy with price. Will defenitely stay again!
