Top Cow Bay Hotel Reviews

Bay Villas Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The two pools were wonderful. The location was a 10 minute walk to marina, restaurants and beaches. The one-bedroom we rented was simple but clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Easy parking too."

Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat

8/10 Good

"Location was excellent, rooms are smaller than they look, with no where to sit other than the bed and all look into each other. Receptionist was super helpful and accommodating. Bed was very hard. Pool was lovely, if you are wanting to sunbath you need to go to the beach as only few sunbeds and the building shades a lot."

By The Sea Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"This was every bit the 4.5 star advertised. It offers so many extra facilities. The ladies could not do any more for us. I love it. Perfect location with everything you need close by."

Daintree Crocodylus

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to relax and unwind. Be aware the birds can be noisy at night and there's down time on the generator. Staff were friendly, food was great. Liked the kitchen and pool. Kids saw a cassowary which was a bonus."
