Didn't realise it was going to have Karaoke on Monday night, which wouldn't matter if I didn't want sleep, but overall a great spot

Lovely Hotel but with a backpacker's attached. The communal kitchen was always messy. Unfortunately no daily room clean and tidy. But still a pleasant enough place. As with everything else in Pt Douglas, be prepared to pay top dollar and inflated prices

Nice clean basic accommodation. Has a really nice communal area and bar. It has a bit of a backpacker vibe but is very quite after 10pm. I had a pleasant stay

Loved location and the restaurant and bar were great. The room had what we needed and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately we had cold showers which was a shame. We stayed 2 nights and were offered a discount dinner which was great due to the shower situation. We’d happily stay again. We like the garden outlook and proximity to the marina.

Good place to stay in town
Part of this place is still a hostel, the other part has been converted to large comfortable private rooms, each with a small terrace out back. No complaints really, it's good value for the price, except maybe that some hostel guests talked loudly in the interior court until the wee hours - it didn't bother me much, but light sleepers may want to try getting one of the rooms farther from the common areas. Walking to town / marina is possible, though a bit far for some (esp. at night), so car/bike/e-scooter come in handy. I'd definitely come back.

Thank you for your review, we are pleased you appeared to have enjoyed your stay with us. Yes, we are a hybrid of working backpackers and motel guests. The back packers come in at all different times of the night, when they finish their shifts, and meet up with others (from the lodge), to socialise and can be quiet loud when talking, especially in the eating areas - we are working on a sound proofing solution to this issue. regardsCoral Beach Lodge

Hi Anon,Thanks for staying with us. Even though we are the lowest priced private room in Port Douglas we have still freshly painted all rooms and updated bed, furniture etc.You clearly have champagne taste Anon so I will make a special effort to install gold taps and maybe a jacuzzi in the bathroom to ensure your next stay in our spotlessly clean bathroom in even more refreshing. (although I may have to triple the price:)Would that be ok?

Hi Lara, How dare you! Our rooms are spotless, they are cleaned by a team of professionals who love working here and this is reflected by so many other guests' wonderful reviews. Since we took over 12 months ago we have never has such a complaint. If the room was like this why didn't you same something??? I'm sure the "Lovely Tom" would have stepped up and done his duty!!! (or maybe he didn't and there lies the problem...)

Amazing service!
The service was absolutely amazing! I unknowingly missed the check-in time so I received a phone call and later a text message with all the codes I needed to access my room, so the check-in process was seamless. The stay and room in itself was in line with my expectations, so all good and very budget friendly. But the real act of heroism was upon checkout where I had messed up my taxi bookings (100% my fault) to the airport and could not find any means of transportation to the airport in time for my flight since everything was fully booked - that's when one of the workers agreed to personally drive us to the airport (note that it is a one hour drive one-way). That is nothing one would ever expect in terms of service and it completely saved my trip home. Nothing but praise for this place!!!
