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.

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!
