What guests think

At Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort and Spa, travellers consistently praise the sprawling lagoon-style pool, beach access, and friendly staff, while several reviews note dated rooms, maintenance issues, and inconsistent cleanliness and housekeeping that affected comfort.

Breakfast is frequently enjoyed, but many find the on-site dining average or overpriced and report occasional room service lapses. The resort sits a short drive from Port Douglas town; some guests mention confusing parking and signage and patchy Wi-Fi. However, occasional wedding or party noise can disrupt nights. Expect a relaxing resort stay with a tropical setting but variable upkeep and dining.

Overall massively disappointing. Property was a complete mess. The room service glasses that were outside our room from the previous guests were still there six days later when we checked out. There was rubbish thorough the stairwells, on the paths, by the pool for 6 days straight (the same stuff not new things including dirty face masks and alcohol bottles by the pool- very dangerous) all the facilities were closed - no restaurant, no room service, no pool bar, no day spa. No housekeeping except every second day. None of this was advised prior to checkin - we would have cancelled our booking and stayed somewhere else. There was no communication at all. It wasn’t until we tried to make use of facilities we’d find out they were closed. It was our honeymoon so we had high expectations and they were no where near met. If the hotel has staff shortages due to covid they should either reduce capacity to serve guests to a Pullman standard or reduce the price significantly to that of an apartment. It was way overpriced given the quality of property and price.

There was no omelette station at the breakfast buffet, the food was subpar, the room service forgot our order once and their ordering system was a mess, the gym had broken treadmills, the villa pool was dirty the whole time, the gas grill ran out of gas as we were using it and had to wait for another one, there was only one restaurant option on property and it wasn’t the best.

This might possibly have been one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. - Rooms are tired and dated (doesn’t look refurbished since the 90s). - stains all over walls, mould, dirt in tile grouts - no standard hotel amenities like robes or slippers. Couldn’t even find a laundry bag - car park instructions very unclear and very difficult to find - missed relaying critical information about road closures between Ports Douglas and Cairns, making airport trip over double the time to get to hotel The pool is nice albeit laid out in strange manner making it hard to access bar area. Room service and bar was very basic. Overall for their prices this was a complete rip off

Second time at sea temples - nice hotel and pool. Good rooms. Location 7-8 mins from port Douglas town. Hotel is part hotel part private owned. Nice breakfast. Awkward pool layout meaning you have to walk around the hotel to get to reception. Also pool towels were kept there which does not make any sense.

Pool is amazing but needs some maintenance . The restaurant on site is terrible would not recommend. Overpriced and poor quality food . Overall the resort is great it just needs some Attention and love to update it.

Rooms are dated, cockroaches in room(infestation under sink with droppings right next to dish towel), parking is a mess because some spots are private and others for hotel guests. Only saving grace is beautiful botany, plant upkeep, location and good restaurant. I did not use spa services so cannot comment on that. Brought a large cockroach that I killed with Raid spray to the front desk and asked to check out early as I didn’t feel clean or comfortable, and they told me I’d still have to pay full price for the night(s) I didn’t use. If I were to rebook I would pay a little extra and just stay at the Sheraton. For the record, I’m generally pretty outdoorsy and never typically leave reviews. However, I felt the service and upkeep was so substandard I feel compelled to review so others don’t fall into this trap.

Whilst the amenities and restaurant were fantastic, the studio spa room was terrible and the cleanliness of the bedding, floors and room in general was poor. Yellow stained sheets, grimy floors and unable to watch tv due to terrible layout. To make things worse, one of the staff accidentally entered our room at 1:30am and didn't say anything before exiting. A terrible night sleep to top things off. They did apologise the next day and replaced my sheets with a other highly stained yellow one. I won't be going back.

Rooms

Spacious villas and apartments, some with private pools or rooftop spas, are a highlight, but decor feels dated in several units and occasional maintenance issues affect comfort. Expect intermittent Wi-Fi and occasional wedding or party noise.

The Pullman is one of the farthest hotels from the Port Douglas village, but it is self-contained, and the staff are incredibly helpful with any requests. We self-drove but there was also a shuttle available at most times into town. We selected the Pullman for the timeless decor. I had read a few reviews about most hotels being 'dated'. We weren't disappointed. It was lovely. We stayed in one of the three-bedroom villas with a pool, and it felt very luxurious! It was larger than our own home in Sydney!

The first night was great, the smell of chlorine from the internal fountain was overwhelming and made the first floor of the villa smell. The second night was awful with parties on either side of us, I rang the night manager and one side was sorted, then at 1.15am the other villa beside us (wedding party) started yelling and screaming, I rang the night manager again no answer or call back and left a message, this villa partied until 3am. In morning upon check out the day manager was very helpful and sincerely apologised for what happened only getting 2 hours sleep. But the damage was done and for a family 5 star hotel this was unacceptable.

My husband and I arrived at Pullman for 9 days stay with friends. Resort was lovely. However we were extremely disappointed that there were issues continuously. We had a terrible welcome where we were not informed on anything. Apparently there is a contract that explains housekeeping etc which we were not advised on or given to read. Nor were we advised that there is a daily fee for housekeeping which we can opt out of. We assumed that housekeeping was included in our stay. We made the beds most days, washed the dishes, put them away and kept the room clean. Housekeeping entered on their own accord, did not clean the room, didn’t have to wash dishes or put them away. Didn’t clean the floors, bathrooms etc. our towels were barely replaced. On one occasion I was told that the towels had not been delivered so I had to use the pool towels. I had to go to reception to ask for face flannels and toilet paper which house keeping did not replenish. House keeping however did fold the toilet paper that was in use in a neat triangle!! On the odd days that they made our beds, the sheets were hanging out and not pulled neatly. Our room safe broke down twice and we could not access it. The third time it broke down, we stopped using it in case our passports and cash was stuck in there. The door was difficult to lock and on the second day the door handle fell off. Shower head was broken. Communication needs to improve when checking in.
