Top Port Douglas Hotel Reviews

Mantra Heritage

8/10 Good

"The resort is very very good. Although it could do with a bit of a refreshing. Other than that. I Intend to stay there in match next year It’s central to everything."

Silkari Lagoons Port Douglas

8/10 Good

"Old style resort situated a few kilometres from central Port Douglas, but as we had a rental car it was a not an issue. Stayed a week in a swim out room, which was very spacious, but kitchenware etc old and mismatched. Unfortunately, we had noisy neighbours for a few days of our stay, which was annoying as the rooms are very close together and you could hear all conversations when lounging on the decks."

Meridian Port Douglas - Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"We had a one bedroom apartment on the top floor with a full kitchen (except oven). There was a large balcony with table and chairs and a daybed. The pool is lovely. They do need to resurface the Jacuzzi, though. Also our apartment needs a new mattress. I appreciated the streaming capability of the TV and the great air conditioning."

Niramaya Villas and Spa

8/10 Good

"I love the layout of the property but please be aware due to proximity to the rainforest there are A LOT of bugs. My wife and I fought for our lives against a giant cockroach and the villa definitely had a lot of ants and spiders. The plunge hours being limited to the spa hours was a downside for us as well. My wife recommends the facial! The private pool was awesome. Truly if we didnt have the bug issues I would have given it 5 stars."
