I was wary about booking this accomodation due to a few negative reviews I read on this site, but I am so glad I did. The apartments have been taken over by new management in the last couple of months and they have made many changes. The location is possibly the best in Port Douglas, 30 seconds walk to the... more

This property is under new management in 2009 and they went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience.

Lots of accommodation is out of town and you need to get a bus or drive to town. At the Archipelago we park out car and wall to the beach and... more
