Lovely hotel with nice pool area, with a short walk to Macrossan St. We stayed in one of the hotel rooms which was clean and big enough for a short stay. Fresh towels for the room and the pool were available from reception. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and always seemed to be smiling. Pool bar was... More

After our last years trip to this hotel we thought that we would choose it again on our next visit to Port Douglas as we loved it then and happy to report we loved it again. This time it was a different experience as we didn't have the kids. We stayed in a one bedroom studio and it was perfect... More

We had a quiet room overlooking the lap pool. The room was clean, the ac was welcomed as the weather was very hot humid and still. We couldn’t sit on the balcony at night because of mozzies. Breakfast was included, there was lots of it and lots of options. The lagoon pool was great to chill out in, however I’m... More

Stayed here for six nights over xmas in a two bedroom apartment comprising a very dark hotel room and a larger studio self contained apartment. The hotel room (where the kids slept) only had light when you open the metal louvres, which also let the insects and humidity in. Therefore they stayed closed and the room dark. The studio apartment... More

I stayed at the Port Sea under the previous management in 2003. I loved it then and when I returned to Port Douglas I had no hesitations in re-booking. I was not let down. My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they booked tours for us and... More

We recently returned from Mantra Portsea. First I note that it is a perfect location just a short stroll from the beautiful four mile beach and 10 min walk to the main street. Also the 2 staff members we dealt with were friendly. However, we had been expecting some 4 star luxury for a romantic couple of nights, and were... More

Stayed at this property for 3 nights last week. The Mantra brand was the attraction. Up front I must declare that I used points (from a credit card program) to make this booking. However, I was a little disappointed with the quality of the room. The room was small (motel size) and lacked any character which was disappointing for such... More

We picked up a last minute 1br pool apartment for $130 per night and could not have been happier at that price. Location is an easy stroll to town and virtually on the beach. Rooms are basic, clean and well equipped for a week long stay. Great pools too. Only downside if you pay full price is lack of service... More

For short breaks away we normally fly to Sth East Asia because we just want to relax by a pool and we felt we got better value for money but this time we decided to give Nth Qld another go. To be brutally honest I was extremely disappointed. The rooms are dated and outside the bathroom the carpet actually had... More
