I only spent one night in this horrible three and a half star hotel, having booked it for a week via a travel agent. I have had to spend well over 600 British pounds in organising other accommodation with no guarantee I will get any $ back (I am not a rich person). Having said that I was still desparate... more

It is unfortunate that a person can make unsubstantiated defamatory comments for the simple reason she didn’t get what she wanted. This being her money refunded. This guest booked through a travel agent in March 2008, therefore the reservation was held by us for 5 months prior to their arrival. As we were fully booked we have had to decline...

We have just stayed for a week at Port Douglas Retreat and have to say having stayed in other places over the years this is the best place in Port Douglas. The rooms are studio style, clean and bright, they are great for 2 people. The King beds are HUGE, the best nights sleep! The pool area is so much... more

Excellent un-serviced apartments just one block back from the main street in Port Douglas. Very clean, large room with v. large bed, basic but spotless bathroom, adequate kitchen area, TV and balcony overlooking the pool. BBQ facilities at poolside. Very good value for money, plus within walking distance of main street, marina and the many restaurants and shops. Laundry on-site... more

My boyfriend and I sayed here in June 2007 and had a wonderful time. The room was very clean and well kept, the additional facilities (pool etc) were also very clean and well kept. The rooms are a decent size, the kitchen is small but perfect for what you need when staying there as there is a bbq outside by... more

My Mum and I spent 8 days at the The Port Douglas Retreat and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our room was on the ground floor by the pool and we had a small table on the patio which was a lovely place to eat breakfast. The room is adequately sized and nicely furnished. It had a decent sized kitchenette and... more

I am so glad I took the plunge and book at the Retreat. The rooms were fine for my husband and I, as we live out of our bags and are not too fussed about putting clothes into drawers, hanging them up etc. The balcony was a great place to do a little work and sip some wine. There is... more

Weather brilliant location great. Only 5 minutes from the beach and the same for the shops restaurants and bars etc. We had a restful holiday and it was so nice to stay somewhere where it is so quiet and peaceful. Port Douglas Retreat has its own pool and it is great to have a morning swim before setting off to... more

Resort idealy located: Apartments simple, clean & tidy. Watch for the ants. No spraying takes place unless you ask, and then there is the problem, the managers. Hostile!!! that's too nice. They were horrible. They made our stay intolerable. We wont go back thats for sure. more

We would like to thank the guest for their kind comments regarding the apartments and location. With regards to the Ant issue, we do spray twice a year for insects however we are in the tropics and insects are a fact of life. We ask every guest to ensure that they remove their rubbish on a daily basis and not...
