Top Port Douglas Hotel Reviews

Silkari Lagoons Port Douglas

Silkari Lagoons Port Douglas

8/10 Good
"I was under the impression that it was a resort, but there is no kitchen/restaurant/room service on site. The staff at reception were helpful though. The apartment itself was tidy, but our blinds and curtains had stains on them which looked a bit yuck . The walls and doors were marked and dirty which felt a bit gross. When plugging in the power cords there was dust piled up in some parts of the apartment. Sitting on the balcony was lovely and the kids enjoyed the pool a lot, it was beautiful and warm. Definitely recommend a hire car as it’s a good 5 minute drive into the main town. A lovely quiet community to holiday at."

"Everything about the hotel was lovely. The only complaint we had was the hallways echo so every time a neighbor leaves you can hear their door slamming shut. Other than that it was a beautiful property and close to the beach!"

8/10 Good
"This was a beautiful little hotel. It was walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. I was looking forward to doing some laundry while here on my one night stay but the young man from the front desk had 1 of the 2 washing machines and the only dryer tied up most of the day so I was not able to get any laundry done. Even when I told him I had a short time to stay, he did not offer to let me go ahead of him and use the dryer, which takes over an hour to dry clothes. I could have stayed at the hotel for the rest of the day to get my laundry done but I wanted to get out and explore the beautiful little town and I’m hoping to do laundry at my next hotel."
