Crystalbrook Bailey features a restaurant, outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and bar in Cairns. Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has city views and free WiFi. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and room service for guests. A very good hotel with helpful and polite staff. The people in the reception were extremely welcoming and helped me with a problem I had. I want to thank especially the girl who was at the reception the last night of our stay. Unfortunately I don't remember her name. The room was spacious, very clean and had all the amenities, for tea and coffee and even iron for the clothes. The swimming pool was very clean as well. It's close to restaurants and supermarkets. The internet was very fast
