What guests think

At Oaks Port Douglas Resort, travelers frequently commend the friendly team, expansive lagoon pool, and serene tropical grounds, though experiences vary by building and season, with noticeable differences in room comfort and overall experience.

Many rooms and apartments are spacious and practical for families, but others feel dated, have noise or damp odours, and Wi-Fi can be patchy in some blocks. Staff interactions are often warm and helpful, yet service consistency varies, with reports of slow or confusing check-ins and periodic towel or housekeeping shortfalls. Breakfast ranges from good to average while dinner choices and pool bar hours are sometimes limited; the quiet location is a short drive from town with shuttle options. Expect a relaxed resort vibe with a great pool and mixed consistency elsewhere.

Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful entryway, spacious room, nice lagoon pool and swim up bar. Nice touch to have the fans and music playing when we checked into the room. Pool bed cushions need a refresh (older with some cracking and some dirty from weather) and some minor refurbishment in rooms would improve the feel (e.g. clean floor grout, fix carpet pulls, etc). Overall a nice stay and some minor maintenance would make it great.

The property could be 5/5, however the rooms require maintenance and better cleaning. One of our internal sliding door handles was non-existent and often got stuck on the tracks. Our shower had mould, rust and a build up of dust on the windowsill. All counter and table tops had some type of spills on them that weren’t cleaned properly. Our fridge had spills throughout and some had even leaked and dried onto the floor. In saying that, The staff are all really friendly. The facilities (mainly the pool) are great and it is close enough to everything in Port Douglas. Everything else (apart from our actual room) was great.

Hotel.com missold my booking as I booked a poolside 1 bedroom apartment but got a 1 bedroom apartment with a garden view so far out we were nearly next plot. The wall outside the sitting area was covered in mould and filth with a small tree growing . There was no connector to charge a mobile, the bedroom carpet was heavily stained, and a 70s style bath with jets which my husband couldn’t use at all and nearly tripped me getting in and out as we both have arthritis. The shower was over the bath, no slip mat and dangerous to elderly. The cooking top was dark glass and you couldn’t see how to use the controls except with a torch. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bedroom fan was either tornado mode or barely moving. Reception gave us a connector on our second day, but only contacted us on our third to be lately offered another apartment with only one night left? They confirmed Hotel.com booked us a garden apartment and not a poolside apartment. As we hadn’t booked a breakfast a charge of $30 was made instead of $25. The breakfast buffet was very average and the fresh fruit was abysmal, slices of various melon and pineapple. The staff were very welcoming and advised to book avoiding the $5 surcharge. If you wanted just coffee or tea it was still the $30 charge.

I stayed here for one night for work, having stayed in other oaks resorts, I thought I would be comfortable and refreshed for work. I know the hotel is in port Douglas so you can expect some insects but my room genuinely looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. They put me in a room on the side of the property that clearly hadn’t been refurbished. There were spiders and cobwebs in every corner of the room, an ant trap behind the kitchen sink, no draft blocker under the door so insects were just walking straight under the door (in a 4 star resort just put draft blocker tape under the front door). There were hundreds of ants eating dead Beatles on the kitchen floor but no ant spray or bug spray. But the final straw was there were ants in the BED!! For hours I just kept finding ants crawling on me in bed so I finally moved furniture around and right behind the bedside table was a hole in the wall with hundreds of ants just crawling the wall. I called reception and they had to move me at 12:30 in the morning, the middle of the night before I had work at 7 the next morning! The next room was one of the refurbished rooms so it was better, it had been cleaned in the last month. But yet again ants in the bed… same exact problem. Ants just crawling through the wall onto the bed. I stay in hotels for work all over QLD and NSW every week and this was one of the worse stays I’ve had. I’ve stayed in safari tents and camp sites that were cleaner and more comfortable.

First I was checked into a room that had not been cleaned, after having to walk back to reception in the rain I was moved to another room however the only thing that I could say was positive is that the bed was comfortable, the carpet was filthy with stains everywhere, the bathroom was really not good with no face washers or bath mat so rather slippery getting out of the shower, the shower had mold all over the roof and other places, bits of wood missing from around the sink area with exposed particle board, I was offered a bottle of wine after the first room was not cleaned however when delivered it was a warm bottle of sparkling wine all in all rather disappointing and considering I have stayed here on several occasions this will definitely be the last time I will stay here.

My husband and I booked to stay here during our trip around Australia. We booked to stay for 3 nights. We booked this hotel based on it being a 4 star hotel and the photos on their website. The photos do not reflect the current state of the hotel. This hotel is in serious need of updating. The rooms are very basic and dated and do not have the basic amenities that I would expect from a 4 star hotel. The room was not cleaned during our stay and smelt damp. The Wi-Fi did not work in our room and the room had very poor soundproofing (we were able to clearly hear the TV next door). The room also seemed poorly layed out with the air conditioning unit being placed right next to the bed causing cold air to be blasted into your face all night. This hotel was very disappointing and we were not wanting to return to it at the end of the day. It was having a negative impact on our holiday and we ultimately checked out early to a different hotel. The only positive of this hotel was the friendliness of the staff.

I was upgraded to an apartment which was so spacious and comfortable. Only drawback was that wifi did not work anywhere in the complex, which is unusual. There was also a very loud smoke alarm at 12.30am that would have woke up everybody. I was informed a fire in a microwave in a room triggered it. But did it have to sound in the entire complex? Quite a shock! Luckily I got back to sleep.

We really struggled to come to terms with the old soft saggy and dirty matresses, however turning them upside down was an improvement in firmness and hygiene so we managed some decent sleep. Room felt really low budget and old. We really liked the outdoor space at the hotel with the ponds and plants, also enjoyed the pingpong table in reception, otherwise sorry but we wouldn't stay here again.

Arrived for check in with 2 friends, lady checking us in wasn’t the friendliest, we all have those days, but check in was a disaster, she gave us very brief instructions on how to find our rooms, no mention of any of the hotel facilities, no mention of “happy hour”, breakfast information, how the bus works or told anything about booking tours etc. thankfully we have Google. Finding the room was a challenge due to the poor instructions, get to the room and find out I’m missing some towels, I spoke to reception and was advised of an issue with towels coming up from Cairns, ok things happen but why wasn’t this mentioned at check in, reading the reviews on Google this towel situation has been going on for a number of weeks along with a number of other problems. Overall the room was clean, the pool was great and the staff were friendly.

The pool, bar, outdoor areas, games area were all very well presented and made for a very enjoyable stay. The restaurant had a delicious assortment on their menu and we enjoyed dining there. I we would highly recommend this resort and would love to stay there again in the future. Thanks for a memorable holiday!

Our stay was just ok. We had issues every day with having to call for bathroom towels, our bed was made daily but no vacuuming, rubbish bin not empty, internet was really bad and was told we could have a dongle which never eventuated. Pool is open until 10 pm so when you swam in the morning there were dirty glasses and empty food containers left out, I saw 3 glasses left by the pool for 2 days. The restaurant forgot half our order and had to be reminded twice. We asked for our luggage to be collected 1 1/2 hours before departure and they left a bag in our room and despite continuing requests to go and get it our key had already been handed in, no one would get it so it held up our transfer.
