We can’t fault the location and the pool (there’s two) is heated beautifully and everything is very clean. We stayed in the top floor one bedroom apartment, the kitchen equipment is a little lacking and very basic, missed not having an oven or even air fryer. We also struggled to get any pool time as there’s only about 8 loungers and they were occupied most of the time. The complex is a little in need of some maintenance (broken and missing tiles etc). Otherwise we loved our stay (second time here)

We had a 1 bedroom apartment that overlooked the pool and bbq area, that was really great having breakfast out there most mornings. Seeing the cockatoos flying home every night was amazing too. Very spacious and modern apartment. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Not too far to walk to the beach or the shops which made it handy. Amazing place, can't wait to go back.

Had a fantastic time, loved the location and the pool. Only downside would be the wifi being so weak that it kept dropping out. Also the floors being concrete somebody upstairs kept stomping around and dragging furniture about. Very strange. Overall would definitely stay again.

The perfect place to stay! There is lots of parking available if you have a car. If you don't have one, don't worry as it's a short walk to the port, shops and restaurants. The hotel room we stayed in was really clean, comfortable and roomy. There was also a washing machine and room spa which made the stay even more perfect! Overall, it was a relaxing stay as the place is really quiet and relaxing :) We would definitely stay again if we came back to Port Douglas!

Great outlook over the pool, great location, close to main shopping area, clean, tidy. Receptionist very friendly & helpful. Room was compact and had everything you would need. There is always a but however... the bed was hard and uncomfortable, it was similar to many hotel/apartments where the bed appeared to be two singles joined together with a larger top mattress creating a higher section in the middle.
