We arrived at the hotel from Cairns with the airport transfer and were warmly welcomed. Brought to the room, near the beach with the cart. What a relaxing atmosphere right from the beginning. Clean, spacious room and bathroom. Porch/balcony in front with sea view. Breakfast every day and three meals--all of high quality and excellent presentation. There were even non-hotel... More

The hotel is set on a 145 acre peninsular some 15 minutes drive from Port Douglas. The bungalows are wonderfully equipped, very private, and ours, No 38, had amazing ocean and mountain views, yet was only minutes away from the main building. This hotel is one of the best places I have ever stayed at and I have travelled around... More

Beautiful surroundings with your own detached bungalow on stilts with jungle or sea view. Staff went that extra mile to ensure your comfort but were never intrusive. If you want quiet luxury with tropical beach and nature walks in the hotel's extensive grounds this is perfect. They will also organise reef trip, Daintree trip etc.Food excellent and view from the... More

From check into check out the staff was the best that I have experienced at ANY resort or hotel in the world. They were never in your face but always ready to help with anything I wanted. They even spent hours working on a tour plan and found a way to do it but in the end talked me out... More

I cannot even begin to describe our amazing experience with Thala! The service above all else was absolutely incredible. I've NEVER had such fantastic service. In addition to booking everything we did in Port Douglas through Thala (and they charge everything to the room - very convenient), they went out of their way on a number of occasions to prove...

Fantastic stay. The layout/design of the resort was brilliant. Location is truly 15 min drive to heart of Port Douglas. The service was friendly and excellent but we found housekeeping to left the shower a little unclean. Fittings in the shower also needed replacement (showerhead kept dropping initially despite best efforts to tighten). Extras such as birdwatching were enjoyable and... More
