Top Port Douglas Hotel Reviews

Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay friendly staff short walk to the Main Street"

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."

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."
