What guests think

At Bay Villas Resort, guests highlight walkable access to Port Douglas’s beach, marina, and main street, spacious self-contained apartments, and friendly staff, while noting dated areas, small bathrooms, and the building’s stair-only access with no lifts.

Two pools, barbecue areas and laundry facilities are appreciated, though parking can be tight. Cleanliness is mixed, with many clean, comfortable stays alongside reports of mould or grime in bathrooms, worn furnishings, and limited replenishment of towels and toiletries. A few guests also encountered poor communication and unannounced closures of pools or BBQs. Expect a relaxed, good-value base for exploring Port Douglas.

We stayed for 9 days. It was Very clean and quiet. Fairly central to shops. Staff was great. The only thing we didn’t like was the three flights of stairs with luggage was difficult and housekeeping after the forth day only ment they change bed sheets and towels. No soap shampoo or coffee was replenished however if you asked for some they gave it. Laundry was free as well as soap but it was cold water only. All in all it was very clean and comfortable.

En studio med enkel utrustning, BBQ fanns med utrustning, inkl kyl och matbord. Då det är en bit till affärer var det jätte bra att det fanns shoppingstroller att låna. Det fanns även strandstolar att låna. Fina tvätt möjligheter. Fanns två mindre pooler i bra skick. Härlig säng.

Communication was terrible both pools and bbq areas not available to use and they did not communicate that with us even though I was emailing them a week before arriving and no apology and were quite rude while our stay . Had to purchase beach towels to go to the beach . Would have at least thought they would be complimentary concidering we couldn’t use any resort features . Pool photos on site were definitely not the photos from the resort , even we could use it . First time in port Douglas and would not recommend Bay villa to anyone.

A little bit far to walk to main part of town. Well overdue for a refurbish. Walk ups to most units. Parking reasonable but tight. Stove top is portable and was on a high shelf and not clean, other dishes not clean. Overpriced for what you got. Staff were great, nice pool.

We booked a 3-bedroom apartment but we’re given a 2-bedroom apartment with attached studio. Both needed a deep and thorough clean. The complex owner and reception staff are lovely, but are being let down by cleaning staff. It’s time to replace the filthy rug in the living area.

The place is great overall! It's quiet and within walking distance to the main street with all the restaurants and shops (15 mins max). The four mile beach is less than a 10-min walk which is nice. The marina where all the GBR boats leave from is about a 15-min walk which is again not bad. The room is clean and tidy and the kitchen is a nice addition. The pool was always empty when I stayed here. I'm usually picky with hotel bathrooms because it's very easy for mould to grow at the corners around the showers and bath tub but nope it was all white and clean. You'd have to pay for the safe though, I'm not from Australia so not sure how common this is. No complaints overall!

Location was good the property is close to the beach and to dining options. room wasn’t overly clean. The floors hasn’t been vacuumed properly. Some items left behind by other residents. air-conditioning worked well beds are comfortable, full kitchen in our room ideal if you have little kids because there’s a swimming pool outside right in front of your balcony and they can join in the noisy crowd that hangs out there not good if you’re trying to get away from the noise because the pool noise comes straight into your unit can’t really sit out on the balcony because of the noise from the pool. maybe, if you’re looking for something for how to ask for a non-pool view balcony

No advertised complementary toiletries in the room. A lot of mould in the very tiny bathroom. Supposed to be non-smoking section but couldn’t sit on balcony for cigarette smell. Light on very narrow stairwell not working on one floor so quite dark and dangerous at night. And worst of all : plastic wine glasses!!

No room & no extras soap, face washer etc. Room cleanliness poor. Location was ok if you like to walk - about 1km to shops/cafes in Main Street. Self parking very tight, but under cover.

Access to front main road and back road (rear access) allowed one a choice of access. One can walk to the main shopping and dining area, the library and the marina easily. The bedding (mattress) in the unit requires updating so if you have back issues, the bed in the unit we occupied could be problematic.

The staff at Bay Villas were SO friendly & helpful-incl. ongoing communication prior to our arrival, suggestions/arrangements for activities whilst visiting, and easy a/h checkin - which all made our holiday easy, seamless & stress free. SO glad we chose this resort over the billions of others avail in Port Douglas.
