I went back the next day and the concierge was very helpful wasn't he some one maybe something you could follow up on as i wouldn't someone else experiencing that at such a gorgeous 5 star resort"

Meridian Port Douglas - Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 4 nights in a one-bedroom pool view apartment on the second floor. Spacious, clean, well-appointed apartment with a large private balcony. Everything we needed for a comfortable, quiet stay and self-catered for most meals. Loads of restaurants and groceries within easy walking. Beach is a 5 min walk from property. Fantastic pool area and gardens. Some of the décor/furniture is getting dated but is kept in good condition. Unfortunately, the window blind in the bedroom of our apartment was not a blackout, may not be a problem for other rooms."

Le Cher Du Monde

8/10 Good

"This was a beautiful little hotel. It was walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. I was looking forward to doing some laundry while here on my one night stay but the young man from the front desk had 1 of the 2 washing machines and the only dryer tied up most of the day so I was not able to get any laundry done. Even when I told him I had a short time to stay, he did not offer to let me go ahead of him and use the dryer, which takes over an hour to dry clothes. I could have stayed at the hotel for the rest of the day to get my laundry done but I wanted to get out and explore the beautiful little town and I’m hoping to do laundry at my next hotel."
