![]() Stretching from Gladstone on the Capricorn Coast, up and past Cairns and Port Douglas in the tropical far north of Queensland, is Australia's spectacular Great Barrier Reef. There is truly an abundance of hotels all along the way. There are numerous 5 star international hotels and resorts, midranking hotels, serviced apartments and suites. For the budget conscious there are backpackers, hostels, caravan parks, campgrounds, lodges and farmstays. In between there are motels and motor inns. Whatever the requirement, and whatever the budget, you'll find accommodation to suit, everywhere alongside the Great Barrier Reef. One of the most magnificent resorts in the region of the Reef is the luxurious Sheraton Mirage Resort at Port Douglas. In Cairns, one of many international hotels is the Hilton Cairns. There's also the ever popular Radisson Plaza Hotel at the Pier and the Cairns International Hotel . At Palm Cove, a short distance from Cairns, is the Courtyard Great Barrier Reef Resort and scattered throughout the Great Barrier Reef area are the 900 islands that form part of the Great Barrier Reef. Hotel Resorts are located on the crown jewels of these islands, Bedarra, Brampton, Double, Dunk, Fitzroy, Green, Haggerstone, Hayman, Heron, Lizard, Magnetic and Orpheus Islands. Information on the island hotels and resorts can be accessed through the Island Resorts of Queensland's Great Barrier Reef. Travel to the Great Barrier Reef is an industry all on it's own, generating more than $1 billion a year and 1.6 million visitor days.
