We stayed here for 3 nights last week, booked basic king room and were upgraded to executive king.

Full breakfast in restaurant, but line was slow to move while waiting to be seated, took almost 10 minutes to get seated, just a thought for those with tours as those usually start early.

Diamond welcome gift of Chocolate bar and wine as noted previously, you get to choose your wine, but the vineyard has changed from that in the prior photo. We had the Chain of Fire Shiraz Cabernet, same as that served in the lounge (also served in Hilton Brisbane).

Executive Lounge evening offerings were very good, unlike other lounges that refill the warm food items, here they bring out a different dish when the item is gone or after a certain time period. From around 6 pm a view looking over esplanade as sun goes down and watching the flying foxes take flight.

15 - 20 minute walk to railway station for Kuranda Railway day trips. AUS$27 taxi to airport.
