Top Cow Bay Hotel Reviews

Mantra Aqueous on Port

8/10 Good

"Lovely swim out room was very clean. Could use some updating though."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"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 !"

Mossman Resort Holiday Villas

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean"

Le Cher Du Monde

8/10 Good

"The couple that run this property are very quick at communicating. They are very helpful with anything you need. The best thing about this property is the location. It is right in the middle of all the restaurants and shops. It’s a 5 min walk to the marina and waterfront. It was perfect! The air conditioning didn’t work very well. Thankfully we had good weather and kept the patio door open. I would definitely stay here if you do not have a car. I’d stay here again as it was the perfect location in Port Douglas."

Regal Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxed environment, lovely pool and bbq area, very well situated and easy to walk to all parts including my favourite Sunday markets"

Oaks Port Douglas Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely modern room"

Villa San Michele

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful apartment/hotel stay in an incredibly convenient location. The woman who checked us in was so helpful and nice. The laundry was such an amazing addition and very much needed after our trip. I would definitely stay here again."

By The Sea Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. two minute walk to the beach and on the same street as all the restaurants and shops. Our room was super clean when we arrived and I was pleasantly surprised that there was a wand in the shower. The staff were so very friendly and helpful. My only negative comment would be that there are no electrical outlets by the night stands (at least in our room). We had to run an extension cord from the other side of the room to the night stand so that I could use my cpap machine for sleeping. Otherwise, everything was great."

Daintree Crocodylus

8/10 Good

"A wonderful way to experience the rain forest in a raw and real manner. Wonderful for switching off and returning to nature. Don't expect all the bells and whistles, expect friendly travellers and staff, loud birds and heaps of rain."
