Top Port Douglas Hotel Reviews

Peppers Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Breakfast was great and the amenities were thoughtful."

Oaks Port Douglas Resort

8/10 Good

"Great resort, with a lovely swimming pool, great buffet breakfast, bar and restaurant. Easy 30min walk to the town centre, or there is a cheap and quick shuttle ride in, cost was only $5 per person each way. The staff are all lovely and welcoming. Our room we had was a one bedroom pool view room, which was spacious and clean, but did have a shower over the bath, which isn't great. Would definitely recommend this resort for couples or families."

Le Cher Du Monde

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic central location in short walking distance to everything inc marina, shops, restaurants, Four Mile Beach, coast walk. Large unit space made our 12 night stay very comfortable. Our room was located above a cafe but thankfully very quiet at night: Red Kitchen is a great cafe and convenient for breakfast or lunch, but a pity we didn't know about the 10% guest discount until our last day! Parking in the hotel car park is very limited so when full, we managed to always find parking on the street outside the accommodation. Sink plug in kitchen needs replacing (no seal) and plug in bathroom sink doesn't work so shaving means running a tap. Couldn't hear other guests which was great. Loved the balcony and the swimming pool. A very easy, relaxed stay with great amenity and efficient service."

Meridian Port Douglas - Adults only

8/10 Good

"The motel was perfectly positioned for access to amenities, restaurants and sights while being away from the street noise. We thankfully upgraded to a one bedroom apartment which was beautiful. My sister stayed in a poolside room and couldn’t open her doors or windows due to people looking in from the pool. I would stay again in the room we had. Very nice and lovely staff."
