"Parking spaces are small. We thought we were getting a room with a kitchenette but it was too small to be practical "

" The resort was huge, staff was nice, breakfast was delicious and too many options to choose from buffet, there were many activities going on every day to keep you engaged and the pool was the biggest highlight of the property. Now the dislikes about the property were cleanliness and the room service! The room was not that clean and the floor had so much of dust that we had to wipe our kids feet every now and then before they go to bed and same with us, so when you say 5 star property then it should have their own standards of cleanliness and the room service could have been better as we had to call again and again for few things in the room!"

"Amazing resort. Huge rooms."

"Beautiful room and helpful staff. "

"We had a wonderful stay. Great lodge, super clean, very well appointed, lovely bar and restaurant with delicious food. The setting is amazing, you are in the rainforest with a stretch of river to swim in, the pool is also unique! The spa treatments we had were extremely good and reasonably priced. The stay was made extra special by the wonderful staff, everyone was warm and welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay magical. We hope to return one day!!! "

"It would have been excellent except for the disaster on arrival. The house was open, no keys in lock box, beds unmade, messes everywhere including dried vomit, smelly fish guts outside, mosquitoes through open house, dirty dishes, BBQ a mess, etc. There was apparently a mixup with the normally reliable cleaner not aware we were arriving Jan 2 (booked and paid six months ahead) and the owner couldn’t reach her for hours. The owner was apologetic and gave us a one night refund (not including fees) but it doesn’t feel like enough given the extreme disappointment and inconvenience, with our group having to do hours of cleaning to make the place liveable while we prepared a special 80th birthday dinner. The cleaner finally arrived and improved the place but the damage was done after many months of anticipation of this family gathering. And we never did get keys to the place, the previous renter still had them which was a security issue.In spite of the problems, our family rallied and did their best to focus on the many positive aspects of this accommodation. It has beautiful views and rainforest landscaping, a lovely pool and other nice features, and is only a short drive to Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas. "
