Meridian Port Douglas - Adults only

10/10 Excellent
"We had a room on the ground floor with direct access to the pool. It was great, the facilities were nice and clean and it was quiet too. Not having any kids there made a huge difference noise wise. I would definitely go back and stay again. Just a short walk to the town centre with everything you need for a good holiday right there."
