Reef Resort Villas Port Douglas

Great photo shopping guys...The resort is dreary and tired. Our place was renovated in side but the little garden outside was disheveled. The resort probably was lovely years ago but was not worth the fee per night. Restaurant was closed. No bin in second toilet, broken clothes horse. No outdoor area to put clothes so dripping clothes are in the bathroom which is also the laundry. 2nd bathroom right by the lounge. NO toilet spray provided. :( :(

We had a great 10 day stay at the Reef Villas in Port Douglas. Our apartment was really comfortable and clean. From my understanding, a lot of them are decorated differently as they are privately owned but we were very happy with our apartment and could not fault it! Beds were comfy, air con worked well and it was set up with everything we needed. The pool is fantastic! We’ve stayed in Port Douglas a few times at different places and it’s definitely one of the better pools in town. The water is the perfect temp, it has shallow bits for kids but also deeper areas for swimming too. The gardens around the pool are beautiful and tropical which also gives the shade needed on those warm days. There aren’t heaps of deck chairs, but when we were there it was never full so it didn’t seem to be an issue. The resort is out of town, we hired a car which made travelling in and out nice and easy, however there are plenty of shuttle buses that come through if you need. The restaurant is good as well, although it wasn’t always clear from the pool area on the opening hours (there is a sign on the front door though). You can order through the app from the pool area and they will bring your drinks and food straight to you. We had a great time here and would definitely stay again!

This was a very disappointing experience for my family. Yes the room was outdated in areas but this should not be advertised as a resort as no bar or restaurant open and no BYO in pool area allowed. Also advertised xbox room but this was locked up and not is use. Pool was advertised heated but water was cold and pool and grounds was extremely run down. The gym door was broken and hanging off hinges. A lot of units are permanent residents and a few older residents came out and told other families in the pool during the day off for screaming and playing loud. An airbnb would of been better. This was a very disappointing part of our holiday. We ended up going to another resort that allowed guests and used the pool and purchased food and drinks.
