SEA TEMPLE RESORT & SPA PORT DOUGLAS

"Myself and my husband arrived at the Sea Temple on Christmas Eve 2007, for a five day stay, we were very pleasantly surprised, its even better than it looks in the photos. Its a really beautiful property, really calm feeling and the lagoon is just wonderful. We enjoyed Christmas dinner and had a nice breakfast there on a number of days. The staff at reception were wonderful, very friendly helpful in a non intrusive way, in particular a guy called Nathan. Our studio room was bright, clean and plenty big for the two of us, with a huge jacuzzi in the bathroom and located right at the lagoon which was a big plus, we had our own sun loungers and patio area. Its situated a bit outside Port Douglas so transport is needed, in our case we used the shuttle bus, a little bit of an inconvienence to be honest. My only negative remark is that the internet just off the reception area is very expensive. We really enjoyed our stay." - Jean Cordial

"Swimming pool is beautiful and very well maintained. Day Spa prices were ridiculously expensive. Buffet breakfast had no variation 5 mornings in a row." - Anonymous

"Had a lovely and relaxing stay here. Conveniently located just outside Port Douglas. Accommodation, swimming pool, restaurant and bar areas are all excellent. Staff are helpful and friendly." - Marita Thurnauer

"Great facilities in a good location away from the main town ( 10 minute shuttle bus or drive). Fabulous rooms. The staff are very friendly, although are in need of some training as they are not very attentive in the restuarant or at noticing things needed clearing away etc This could be due to the large number of backpackers working at the hotel ( maybe more permenant staff to backpackers would help) Chris (one manager) is very helpful and gets things done.All in all a great stay as we wanted peace and quiet and to be left alone, not have someone at our beck and call.
