Pros:

Absolutely beautiful clean place to stay. Hubby and I slept the best we have in years. So tropical, the plants around were gorgeous, and the pool was awesome, especially at night. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend it to anyone

Cons:

Only thing is I'd wish the buffet breakfast had hot food. Spoke with other guest and they all said the same.

A fun time
Pros:

The staff were great and very accomodating. The pool and swim up bar was the absolute highlight.

Cons:

Unfortunately there were merely window shutters in my bedroom which meant that I could hear every little noise that was occurring outside including the neighbour’s conversations on their balconies which meant it got quite loud. This design is a bit strange considering cold air also comes in too.

The breakfast was incredibly ordinary. I felt like I was in a work canteen, very limited food options and not great quality, not presented well, or welcoming setting.

Enjoyed it hear port Douglas is amazing
Pros:

Pool area was a lot of fun for kids and adults. The rooms were comfy. It was clean but there were definitely bits that were missed. We enjoyed it here but probably a little bit on the pricey side for what it was.
