We loved this location......at the end of the main street in Port Douglas and very quiet. Four Mile Beach is just outside the door!! The owners could not have been more helpful, especially in recommending and booking a Great Barrier Reef snorkel trip and Daintree Rainforest guided tour. They were perfect! We had a nice kitchen, good TV, and comfortable... more

I can be contacted regarding any of my hotel - location reviews. If your visiting the east coast of Australia click on my profile to see other hotels we visited. I'm sometimes amazed by peoples comments on tripadvisor about the accomodation and their expectations from the accomodation. I Suspect like us those people complaining about the Archipelago Studio Apartments booked... more

i thought this would have been a better stay, the room was not clean when i arrived late at night following a note tacked on the door. i was also panicked when ordering the shuttle bus back to the hotel because i realised that they did not have my number, and there is no one at reception at night. but... more

We arrived late and there was a note telling us our room number and that the door was unlocked and the ligths were on..... The room looked old and there were lots of bugs welcoming us. There are no toiletries and the TV is the smallest size you could find. The AC only works when the key is placed in... more

Stayed at Archipelago for 3 nights. Initially booked for 1 night but decided to book 2 more because we liked it so much. The location of the hotel cannot be any better. It is right by the main road that leads into Port Douglas. It is litterally 100 meters from the beginning of the beach and also a walking distance... more

we stayed at the Archipelago during the Easter break holiday. Pros: Great location. About 100m from the 4 mile beach and a short stroll to the shops and restaurants. Cons: Tiny tiny TV (try 15 inches). We wanted to use the in room phone but couldnt get an outside line after dialling 0. The lighting in our room is only... more

I agree w/one of the previous ratings written. My wife and I stayed all of one night before we left. We also booked an ocean view and saw a whole bunch of trees instead and found it very misleading as well when we booked. The rooms look more like you are visiting someones home then a professional establishment. Our room... more

Other reviewers gripe about ants, the lack of a promised sea view, and the 'basic' rooms. The ants are miniscule and in any case people, this is the tropics! The lack of a sea view is easily balanced by the fact that unlike much other accommodation in town, the Archipelago is only 10 metres from the beach. Sure the rooms... more

I read the previous comments and had some hesitation before booking a weekend. Yes, there were ants, but no big deal for us, we can expect that in the wet tropics. We had a garden view unit, yes not actually a rose garden but a garden of tropical growth. The room was clean and comfortable. We decided that all we... more
