We didn't want to leave
This was the last week of a 3 week break in Oz. Four of us in what must have been the best rooms in the place - a 2 bedroomed apartment with kitchen, dining and living areas, a poolside deck with bbq and jacuzzi. We loved the place! the facilities were clean and well looked after, and the situation is great, right in the middle of Port Douglas's main drag, Macrossan Street. It's equi-distant from the marina at one end and 4 mile beach at the other. No noisy bar or restaurant in the hotel. No need - as many bars and different places to eat (including take-aways) as you could want in the main street, along with as many shops as you need(including a supermarket). Port Douglas itself has a laid-back vibe, and although the town has spread, grown very quickly, is mostly made up of pretty new hotels, the general feel of the place is that of a relaxed village.
