The location is steps away the beach. The communication with the hotel was excellent. Our family of four enjoyed our five-day stay. There is no elevators for travelers to transport luggage, therefore you will have some stairs to climb if stay in one of the upper units.

An amazing gem. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The ladies at reception were so cheery and friendly, greeting you every time you past and asking about your plans. They were super helpful providing information on the area and booking trips. The reception area has so many extras for your use…just help yourself to beach towels, coolers, chairs, toys, bikes, etc. Would love to come back and stay longer!

Homey and comfortable

We loved everything, starting with such a warm welcome from Myrna. Our unit had everything we needed, and being able to use bikes, and any piece of beach equipment you can think of (including wagons for transport), made it feel like we were staying with friends.

This is a lovely hotel with the village nearby on one side and the ocean on the other. The staff are all very pleasant and the dog playing football in the lobby is a plus. I found it difficult to adapt to the fact that the reception staff was present only between 9 am and 5 pm

Wow! Talk about looking after all the little details. This place had everything one needs for a fabulous stay in Port Douglas. The in-room amenities were plentiful and the printed guides were full of detail. The extra amenities for spending the day at the beach were amazing as well. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Ugh rations are plentiful and do not disappoint. We will definitely be back.
