I found the hotel to be nestled in beautiful natural areas, offering serene forest or water views, but with a somewhat outdated motel feel. The service was a mixed bag, from the unique wilderness experience to some disturbances like the leaf blowers. The location was truly a paradise with lovely walking paths, although some might find the shuttle services overwhelming. The dining options, while a bit overpriced, did provide access to a private beach in December. Overall, a lovely stay with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our Baby Moon special. The location was great with easy access to everything, although the hilly terrain could be tiring for some. The dining experience came with the room rate and offered a gorgeous view, creating a memorable dining atmosphere.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel, nestled in a gorgeous location perfect for exploring Port Douglas. The rooms were comfy and had a stunning view of the beach and sea, although the hike up to Reception was quite steep. The service was top-notch, especially the friendly and welcoming staff. The location was truly special, surrounded by wildlife and offering various activities, making our stay unforgettable. The dining experience was decent but could use more variety. Overall, a great stay with some room for improvement.

Staying at this hotel felt like being in a hidden gem nestled amongst the trees with pathways weaving through the lush surroundings. The room design was excellent, and the bar area had a cool breeze. The staff was incredibly friendly, adding to the overall charm. However, the hilly terrain could be a challenge for some, and the dining options were in the shade, which may not suit everyone's preference.

The hotel offers stunning individual rooms overlooking the rainforest hills and ocean, equipped with a very well-stocked mini bar. The service is incredibly helpful and friendly, though some staff seem a bit exhausted. The gorgeous location is perfect for unwinding and excellent dining, despite being a bit away from the town center. The dining experience is superb with lovely options; however, it is not at a 5-star level. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor dining-related drawbacks.
