Great property, staff wonderful. Right at the beach but also close to good dining.
Reception staff on arrival and throughout my stay were 1st class. Location was excellent for the beach and short walk to shops and restaurants. Room was small but immaculately clean and ideal for a short 4 night break. If you're looking for 5 star, don't bother but as far as value for money goes, you won't beat this place. I would absolutely recommend if you're looking for clean, basic accommodation with wonderful attentive and courteous staff in beautiful Port Douglas.
However long you planned to visit Port Douglas, plan to stay longer; particularly if it is at this property. They have everything you need for days of adventure or relaxation.
