Staff were great and very helpful. The pool area was great. The resort was about 15-20 minute walk into town. Rooms and living area were comfortable. The beds were ok but may need to update mattress. Port Douglas is a great spot to visit.

Great holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Port Douglas. The apartment was well located & had everything we needed. It was a little tired in places but it was clean & as we spent most of our time out it didn’t really matter. We didn’t meet any staff but they communicated well by email.

Simple and pleasant
Good location and the accomodation was fine, clean and comfortable. Great pool and bbq, so you don’t have to eat out every night. Breakfast is very simple. Toast and cereal, instant coffee, tea and juice. Recommend this for families who want to spend most of their time exploring Port Douglas and just want to get back, have a swim, sleep and repeat. Staff are friendly and helpful.
