My wife and I had had a fabulous time at the brand new 5 star Riley Hotel part of the Crystalbrook Collection in Cairns last weekend, it was high tech all the way from checkin to the amazing lift with its information and changing glass picture wall as you look at the trees going up through a rain forest, yes really!.
The room too was massive with king sized bed and 65” TV, a large bathroom with rain shower plus super modern stand alone bath, also had iPad tuned to everything in the room from lights to music and then a great view of the waterfront. Its all Eco friendly recyclable too, thin wafer wooden chipped digital room key, thick cardboard coat hangers and of course water bottles in cardboard too.
Food was excellent probably best prawn teriyaki Ive ever had and breakfast that would suit every taste with a huge selection, and plentiful too. Downside was wine and coughtails on the expensive side yet $7 for beer in a resort like his acceptable.
The Hotel only opened Tuesday 5th Nov, its one of three the billionaire from Syria is building in Cairns to add to his collection. The staff were all decked out in white tops and light fawn shorts and skirts sure looked the part ,and from check in to checkout were efficient and ever so helpful. So considering it was only 4 days since the opening hats off for a job well done.
and I have no association with the hotel, its staff or developers.
