We loved Port Douglas. Our hotel was the Archipelago, a great value place to stay. 2 minute walk to 4-mile beach or downtown Port Douglas. A very fun place to stay. Best access to Great Barrier Reef. We went with Wavelength for our snorkeling trip and really thought they did a great job. Only stayed here 2 days, would have... more

After reading some reviews that greatly concerned us about staying at the Archipelago Studio Apartments in Port Douglas, we're happy to report that we had a pleasant stay there. The apartment we stayed in was clean and reasonably modern. Yes there were ants, but they were to be expected in the tropical climate. The apartment was small and the facilities... more

The apartments are right next to the beach and just a two minute walk from the bars and restaurants of Port Douglas which is lovely. The rooms are a bit small and like a prevous reveiwer we also found damp to be an issue and even though we endured 4 nights here we were disappointed to find you could get... more

Steer Clear of Here Mould Cockroaches and Stink... you will wake up feeling ill from the smell in the pillows, linen, drapes and carpet. Booked for 7 nights holiday season, had to stay for 2 till we could find elsewhere., my worst holiday experience. Cost me $1,610 for 2 nights. No Refunds just rudeness I am reporting to Queensland Fairtrading. more

We loved this location......at the end of the main street in Port Douglas and very quiet. Four Mile Beach is just outside the door!! The owners could not have been more helpful, especially in recommending and booking a Great Barrier Reef snorkel trip and Daintree Rainforest guided tour. They were perfect! We had a nice kitchen, good TV, and comfortable... more

i thought this would have been a better stay, the room was not clean when i arrived late at night following a note tacked on the door. i was also panicked when ordering the shuttle bus back to the hotel because i realised that they did not have my number, and there is no one at reception at night. but... more

We arrived late and there was a note telling us our room number and that the door was unlocked and the ligths were on..... The room looked old and there were lots of bugs welcoming us. There are no toiletries and the TV is the smallest size you could find. The AC only works when the key is placed in... more

Stayed at Archipelago for 3 nights. Initially booked for 1 night but decided to book 2 more because we liked it so much. The location of the hotel cannot be any better. It is right by the main road that leads into Port Douglas. It is litterally 100 meters from the beginning of the beach and also a walking distance... more
