Cape Tribulation

"We have been coming to PKs for a few years now. It is safe to say that the area has become a lot busier in these COVID times. Unfortunately - PKs had been closed for a spell and had just re-opened. This meant the pool wasn't finished or usable. They had also got rid of all the plants in that area - which changed the space a lot. I think they were short staffed and needed a new cook when we were there. The new cook didn't seem to be handling things very well. I am sure with time the place will...

Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat

8/10 Good

"Great direct access to the pool from our room. Five minute walk to the main high street and your choice of plenty of fabulous restaurants. Room was clean, but a little tired. Good facilities in the room, but more space had been given over to the kitchenette, than space for suitcases or anywhere to put your clothes - so we were unable to fully unpack our small suitcases. Reception team were very good - helpful with answering any questions and booking transfers for us, even before our arrival- thank you!"

Birch Resort Port Douglas

8/10 Good

"My search through Expedia was for self contained, disability friendly so I was disappointed I had not checked this on booking. Being able to hear noises from neighbors through the wall was uncomfortable. There was room in the unit for a small settee or another chair to make comfortable seating for two people which would have made for a nicer stay."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas

8/10 Good

"This property is spacious and nicely located along the 4 Mile Beach, but it is not easily walkable to the town nor any restaurants nearby. The facilities/pools seemed like they could use a deep cleaning although our room seemed to be updated and clean. The restaurants on site are quite good."

Paradise Links Resort Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding in every way. Welcoming, clean, spacious, light-filled accommodation (we stayed in one of the one-bedroom villas). Super-comfortable bed; great shower. Everything you could need in the kitchen. Stunning tropical grounds. Easy 10-minute walk to Four Mile Beach and the Barrier Reef Tavern (try the smoked crocodile croquettes). We hired a car so it was only a quick trip in to town. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful hosts, clearly committed to fulfilling the best experience for guests. Thank you; we’d love to come back one day."
