Hotel Dengan Spa di Queensland, Australia

I have been coming to The Chateau for yrs. New management now but I feel the place was run better previously. Especially with maintaining the facilities like the jakoozi and spa. Room was fine, broken lamp shade and everything so out dated they just don't wish to change anything but make money off it? However, perfect lil hotel right on the beach, immaculate location with all at your feet to see at Surfers. Great pool, gaming room, sauna and spa, jakoozi the Best in GC! From the heating to correct bubble levels it's been my go to. But the plumbing or sewerage was off. Water smelt and my friend visiting was grosed out sadly taking a shower right away. Fix this!

Had a lovely one night stay at the Dorsett. Was greeted with lovely customer service at the front desk and upgraded at no extra cost. The room was clean and tidy. Facilities were all open and tidy. Will be back again

Location of the resort is very good, on the river, close to the Surfers Paradise central area and walking distance to the beach. It has lots of free garage and on site parking. It has tennis court, beautiful pool with hot outdoor spa , gym and dry sauna. All service desk guys were very attentive and helpful. Downside is that the resort is old and needs lots of maintenance. All common areas are in need of a facelift. All units have individual owners. The unit I stayed had blocked sink in the bathroom and bed mattress in the bedroom was worn out and sagging to one side. Lucky me I was able to sleep on the other side!

Room was clean but aged. Bathroom had a shower over bath. From the main bedroom you could hear the shower and toilet flush from next room & the elevator going up and down. It is quite noisy. We were only needing a 1 night stay. This was good for that. Any longer and I would definitely have preferred something more modern.

This hotel is centrally located on the esplanade, and this is its main plus. In everything else, in my view, it loses out to the Hilton , to which I moved after a few days. My room smelled to the extent it made me feel unwell. The two swimming pools they boast are a joke. In the first glass pool, you are fully exhibited to everyone on the esplanade, which is why no one swims. In the second one you can't swim if there's anyone else in the pool, it's that narrow. The spa is a private massage joint. I was given a parking spot with no remote the first day, and allowed to park as an exception - their parking is too small to accomidate a hotel of this size. It has no ev charging. The breakfast is nowhere as good as the Hiltons. In any case I fixed all these problems by moving.

It was very clean, the view was nice and I love to come back because it ticket all the boxes that I want.only thing was to pay for the parking which it should be free

Dated but well kept. Pool and BBQ although I didn't use them were a good facility. Location middle of Cairns meant I could walk everywhere easily and on the level.....even the airport was in my walking range at 5.4 km. Staff were excellent and the management Excellent and able to resolve all issues I had with onward travels and other countries online travel document requirements, which is so helpful to an older less technical traveller like me.👍 Mervyn

This is a hotel that up to standard - it may not be the best in the world but I believe it is one of the best in Cairns. The location is a bit far - it take a good 15 mins walk to likely everywhere in Cairns city center. However it is one of the newest hotel in the town and could give you a good and fair service. The buildings in the hote and the pool is beautiful. When you walk around the town you will find all big brands hotel in the world but they all looks like historical buildings.

The hotel has a nice and classy overall look, but the room and bathroom felt somewhat dated. The front desk staff were unfriendly and not very accommodating, which was disappointing. However, the concierge team was excellent—very helpful and genuinely welcoming. The main advantages of this hotel are its location and the great concierge service. During my stay, several events were held in the hotel hall, and it became overcrowded, making it uncomfortable for in-house guests to use the facilities such as pool etc. Despite paying a substantial amount for accommodation, the hotel declined even a 30-minute late check-out request, which was quite frustrating. Overall, you could easily spend less—or top up a little more—and enjoy far better service at other nearby hotels.

Have to say the best thing for this hotel is its room size, Huge! And water pressure is good. But pain point is really clear, the WIFI is not working in my room (bad signal), I can only sit in lounge/bar area at the ground floor to get WiFi.
