Craiglie3 nights4.5 star property9.0/10 - Wonderful (645 reviews)"Our room was pretty rundown, the fridge was old and noisy. Cracked batch room sink and the kitchenette bench was cracked and fixed with tape that was old and black. Chips on the walls and the balcony was dusty and with spiderwebs. The hotel is also far from the village and all restaurants and shops. You have to drive to get everywhere so not convenient if you want to be close to everything."Reviewed August 2, 2026Roundtrip • Sydney (SYD) - Cairns (CNS)SYD - CNS • Nonstop CNS - SYD • Nonstop$828$680found 1 day agoper traveler - Blue Lagoon Resort

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Port Douglas"Enjoyed our stay here. The staff were all very friendly and it was a relaxing vibe."
"The grounds were beautifully maintained"
"When you walk into the room you know it’s fresh and lovely cleaned, the colours made you feel happy and relaxed. The fridge was bigger than a bar freeze, that’s a big plus. Loved the NBQ area, everything was then and a large bbq. The bbq was in the pool area with its own table and chairs. Plenty of other chairs for the pool people. I’ll be back ❤️ it"
"If you are travelling with immunocompromised people , I would not recommend this motel . Cleanliness is so important . Bathrooms need good scrub. Here you are responsible for emptying your own rubbish bins . Great for arranging transport and giving tips on what to see. Nice little pool ."
