Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas Resort, Killaloe

We have just returned home after 5 nights at the Sheraton Port Douglas our room was a lagoon room lovely & clean staff just wonderful & gardens beautiful next time we hope to stay longer.

Our room 5116 was on the ground floor overlooking one of the swimming pools, so basically, we could walk out our door and hop into the pool. Due to being Starwood members we had an privilege members room, which was very spacious with a king size bed, TV, couch, tea and coffee facilities and a welcoming bottle of champs. The bathroom was very spacious with a spa and overhead shower with an enormous vanity suite. Bathrobes and fluffy towels were also supplied. Yes, the rooms do need an update and refurbishment but to me they were fine, and I have stayed at many 5 star establishments around the world. What is the most important thing here is the awesome swimming pools and the outdoor facilities which are on offer. There are 14 swimming pools in this resort, some are freshwater and the others are salt water. My hubby had fun making sure he swam in every one, and if you had kids on board, this hotel would be absolutely fantastic for them. The hotel is situated on the waterfront on 130 hectare of land, which also incorporates an 18 hole golf course. We only had a snack at the pool and breakfast in the hotel and dined in Port for the evenings, only because we wanted to be in with the action. It�s approx a 5 minute drive by car, there is a shuttle bus which operates from the hotel if you have no private transport. Overall, we loved our stay here and we only wished it was winter, as we could have had both worlds the ocean to swim in and the pools. We are definitely coming back and if you can get over the resort not having the 5 star trimmings in your room, then this hotel is perfect for a stay in Port Douglas. We checked out all the other hotels, and quite frankly, we thought the Mirage to be the best in town. I have given this resort a 5 star for its fantastic position on the ocean and its truly enormous and fabulous swimming pools. The staff were also incredibly friendly, efficient and helpful, a credit to this establishment. P.S. Its one hour drive from the Airport.

We stayed for 5 nights at the Sheraton Port Douglas and absolutely loved it. We had a huge room with a balcony that sat on top of the pool. 19 pools in all and while I generally prefer the ocean to pool swimming, these pools were huge and more like lagoons. The hotel is situated right on 4 mile beach, but doesn't take over the beach as many hotels do, it's hidden behind lots of trees. The service was impeccable and the concierge was very helpful. We didn't try any of the restaurants, because it was so easy to zip into Port Douglas from the hotel (we had a rental car). We'd go again!
