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

The town of Port Douglas is great. The archipelago misleads you into thinking you have an ocean view. Bring your binnoculars. Our kitchen was infested with ants. The linens looked as if they had not been changed from the previous guests. The room was large, but very dated. We wished we had done a little more research, because Port Douglas... more

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor we were dissappointed when we arrived at Archipelago Studio Apartments. The studios was very basic for the money they were charging. The garden view we selected was backing onto a jungle and was not pleasant to sit out in due to the amount of insects. For the same money per night we checked... more

Located minutes from the 4 mile beach and right in the heart of the town. Walking distance to restaurants, post office, grocery and the marina. Large room, and was even upgraded to larger, ocean view room at no charge. Friendly staf. Ant problem in the kitchen, all over the counters, food and dishes. The bed is quite uncomfortable. And tv... more

I could not have been happier with the Archipeligo Apartments. We stayed in room 20 which has a view of the ocean. Not many places do so in Port Douglas because the rainforest comes all the way to the beach and obscures the views at most hotels. Our room was not only very reasonable, but it was quite large with... more

These are quite basic rooms but clean and comfortable with an excellent location. They are located just a minute from the beach at one end of the main street. You can walk to the restaurants and shops in about 2 minutes. more

We stayed at the Archipelago in mid-October 2004 and had a fabulous time. For value, the Archipelago can't be beat. Though the rooms are a bit small, they are plenty of room for two people. The location is excellent, steps from Four Mile beach (and the stinger enclosure in summer), and a short walk from 'downtown' Port Douglas itself. The... more

This was a great place to stay in gorgeous Port Douglas (I can not say enough good things about this quiet little town). The rooms were big and clean and pleasantly decorated. Our "ocen view" was rather disappointing (over the roofs and through trees --we could make out the waves at high tide), but everything else was great. Very close... more

Stayed here in early January, 2004. They offered to arrange inexpensive transport for us from the Cairns airport, which was easy to find, and delivered us safely to the resort. We were given a room on the 2nd floor, with a balcony that gave us a side view of the ocean. It was nice to sit out there as the... more
