We had a light lunch and were pleased with the friendly prompt service. The bucket of fresh prawns was nicely served with lemon wedges on a bed of lettuce, seafood sauce along with a finger bowl and lots of serviettes. Delicious!

The central hotel in port Douglas looks great, excellent location and atmosphere. We ordered dinner and were warned it would be a 40 minute wait as they were busy, within 50 minutes the food Had come so my partner and I were both given free drinks of our choice. The food came about 5minutes later and was delicious. I have... More

I have been to Australia many times, but this was my first visit to Port Douglas. And, we had no idea of the city neither we knew anything about our accommodations. Thanks to our local business partner, who booked our rooms in this hotel. It was a wonderful stay and we really, had a great time. All the guys here... More

If I had read the review I wouldn't have come. I suppose there is a lesson to learn there. My son and I had vegetarian meals, chick pea burger and panini, a couple of beers and a extra salad. OK, so not gourmet food, but lots of it and it was nicely cooked and tasty. Staff were very friendly and... More

available here at reasonable prices. We wanted to eat quite late as jet lagged. This is a typical Australian pub and you order and pay for your food at the bar. The food came quite quickly and we had baramundi and chips and salad - very well cooked and lots of it. We could have shared one portion Will go... More

I can't help but agree with the rest of the reviews of this hotel. It's well located and has a nice breezy feel to it but the staff are terribly rude and have a 'don't care' attitude towards their work in general. I visited the hotel in late October this year as a tourist from India. Forget the fact that... More

After reading other reviews, I guess we lucked out. We got there for lunch and was one of the first few to order. I don't like having to go all the way in the back to order and come all the way back up to find a table. A little weird, but none the less we did it. The person... More

Went there hoping for nothing more than a good pub meal. Starts with having to go right out back to place your food order, greeted by a sulky teenager/young adult who was troubled by the fact that I asked if we could have the fish on our $55 seafood platter crumbed instead of battered ... too hard apparently. Then back... More

I visited the Central Hotel Motel at Port Douglas with my new in-laws on Easter Sunday after being married on Good Friday. We ordered four items, each were terrible. The first was a garden salad, which was just dumped in the bowl with lettuce that was soggy and going rotten. The second was their "famous" Central Hotel Beef Burger -... More
