We travelled to Port Douglas in August 2013. We have a 2 year old so it was perfect for us to be in such a spacious, home-like unit at A Tropical Nite. Given that most of the guests were also families, we found it to be very family friendly, and quiet at night time. We really appreciated being given a bag of buckets and spades to use at the beach for our whole stay. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in Port Douglas.

The apartment was great and quite roomy for the two of us. It was fantastic to be able to prepare food in the kitchen or use the bbq downstairs.

We stayed at Port Douglas Sands for a total of 7 nights and it was great. The value for money was fantastic and we enjoy being able to cook our own food. Being able to prepare meals and lunches from the comfort of your own unit was great. Breakfast was provided and was pretty basic but fine. A selection of breads and spreads for toast, as well as a few cereals,juices and tea and coffee. We were on the 2nd floor over looking the pool, tropical plants, palms and it was very peaceful and quiet out on the balcony (even with the main road into Port just on the other side of the resort). If you have a car it's in a great location. Only a 2 minute drive and your in the centre of Port and the same for the marina. Without the car its a 20 minute walk into town, but its pleasant and for a night out there are a few taxis driving around for a lift home at the end of the night if you're not up to the walk. The reception team were fantastic in helping us with anything we needed and we booked all our day activities through them and they even arranged our stay and activities for a night and a day up at Cape Tribulation. They really were great and full of ideas and knowledgeable of hidden gems away from the crowds. If you like to adventure and plan your own days and get some miles under the belt a car is a must. So many things to see, be it a 20 minute drive to Mossman gorge or 2 hrs up to Cape Trib, the Daintree and its lushous rainforest of secluded untouched beaches. We will be back!

Nice and spacious. We had unit 1 and it had a swim on pool shared with four other units. Next to that we could also use the large pool. Kids loved it. Could to have the possibility to cook and a large fridge.

Warm welcome by managers, rooms were fantastic. Highly recomend.

Great location across the road from beach. The village is just around the corner. The perfect place for a rest it is quiet, the food is yummy and staff lovely very comfortable rooms
