Port Douglas Sands Resort

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is very basic. The unit was comfortable however the bathroom was sad and in need of renovation. The toilet was noisy with the water continuing to run after flushing and at one stage we had no hot water. This was quickly dealt with by the manager and we were offered another unit if it continued to be a problem. The rest of the unit was renovated and pleasant.

The rooms were so clean and there was plenty of room for our family of 3. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the couch and unwinding. We loved Mossman Gorge.

My husband and I booked 3 nights here, very last minute, after a failed AirBnB booking. And I’m so pleased we did. We were greeted like old friends by the lovely lady at reception who came and checked us in late at night. We were pleased to be shown to a spacious, clean pool facing apartment. It’s actually bigger than our Sydney apartment! The modern white goods and beautiful leather reclining sofa was a lovely surprise and the bed was extremely comfortable. The grounds are well maintained, immaculate and the pool is large and also pleasantly quiet. (It was so lovely and warm in the sun). You’re so close to Port Douglas town centre and just an hour drive to Cairns. We had a hire car and the basement secure parking was a wonderful bonus! The breakfast was basic (toast and cereal) but again, pleasant, quiet and all you need! It’s a basic place but I can’t knock it. The service, the atmosphere and the cleanliness made it a winner for us! Great value. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Excellent hotel for the price, clean comfortable rooms, great pool, friendly service, good breakfast and great location. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is actually an old apartment building that was converted. Many of the residents own their units, with the remainder available for nightly rentals. Underground parking is nice. Pool and central courtyard and well landscaped and pleasant. Free breakfast was sparse. Owned by a couple who were friendly and cooperative. Biggest problem (aside for the the place being quite dated) was that the A/C unit blows only into the living room, while the two bedrooms remain hot. No direct beach access; you can get there by walking thru another resort, but you can't swim anywhere in the area because of an infestation of jellyfish.
