Relaxed vibes in Port Douglas 🌴

Location is spot on, just a short stroll to the beach and shops. Staff are like chommies, always ready with a smile and insider tips! The gear for the beach—chairs and coolers—made it so easy to chill.

The value room felt a bit tight, but the patio really helps.

noisy pool

hard mattress

the location is decent, but the pool was noisy, and honestly, I expected a welcome gift for my troubles. The mattress was hard, and the bed configuration woudl ve been better if it actually felt like a king. I almost wrote a good review, but just couldn’t quite muster it up.
