"Great hostel in a perfect location. Staff are friendly and helpful. I stayed in the 6-bed female dorm (room 211). Bed was comfortable, the room was big and there was plenty of space to store all of my belongings. The only downside that I could find was that there wasn't powerpoints beside each of the beds so made it difficult to charge my electronics. There's also plenty of free street parking in front of the hostel."

Great property that is small and personable! They seem to have thought of it all as far as things to use at their facility. They have bikes, movies, games, umbrellas, beach chairs, games, towels and so much more. We just weren't there ling enough to us it all. They are also an easy walk to the beach, shopping, and a ton of restaurants.

Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Great location, within walking distance of main center and port, yet far enough away to be peaceful. On-site laundry, parking, outdoor kitchen area by pool - all great. Definitely recommend to guests who enjoy genuine hospitality in a low-key environment.

Excellent stay all around! The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, answering all my questions and helping book tours. The facilities were all clean and comfortable, and it was a perfect place to stay in Port Douglas.

Hotel was nice, rooms were large and clean. Lots of pools to swim in. Staff were helpful. As an American, we were unaware that although the hotel is right on the beach - you can not swim in the ocean due to crocodiles. A very convenient location to do all the day excursions around the area. Overall, a great trip !

My fiancé and I went here with minimal expectations, just looking for a getaway with close access to the Great Barrier Reef. This resort was beyond accommodating. The surpassed our expectations with amazing food, drinks, and service. They also provided us with transport to and from most any location and recommended awesome activities and onsite nature walks!

We stayed in an "okay" hotel in Cairns for the first three nights before we decided to visit the Daintree area. I made the reservation for the this hotel in Port Douglas and we were on our way.

My wife and I stayed at this lovely facility for a week in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary. We had booked a standard room and were pleasantly surprised to learn we had been upgraded to a one-bedroom suite complete with a bottle of champagne for our celebration!

The property is spotless and ideally situated. Manager Paul is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our stay is enjoyable. In addition, the villa dog, Bruce, is so lovely and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed playing with him.

For the most part, this was an amazing hotel. The swim up balcony and spa tip were great, as well as the dishwasher AND laundry facilities in the room! The staff was extraordinarily helpful and friendly, although some were definitely more knowledgeable than others.
My main complaints\ is the exhorbatent price for wifi access. A hotel of this caliber should either include it in the room charge, or not offer it at all as its philosophy.

We stayed for three nights over the Christmas holidays, the height of summer. We loved this resort, and our villa was amazing. Our daughter lived in the pool while my husband and I tried to get cool in the AC. Our complaints are similar to others here... the villa wasn't super clean when we checked in. It really just needed to be refreshed and swept. There were a lot of cobwebs and spiders/spider dirt in the corners and the floors were dirty. We did notify the front desk, and she offered to have...

Our stay at the Meridian was fantastic. John and Sue were so lovely and incredibly welcoming during our stay. The room was clean and super quiet. The laundry facility was really handy. But above all else, the location can't be beat. Right at the top of the main avenue, and two blocks from the beach / swimming area. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great value for their time in Port Douglas.
