This is a very nice condo with an absolutely stunning deck that looks out over Port Douglas harbor. The deck makes this place double good!In March, when we were here, it can rain a lot, and I mean a very very lot. The locals may be tired of hearing questions about the rain but they also have been trained to downplay it: "It's a rain forest, it rains," "the fish don't know it's raining, and (from a brochure) "Never before have so many people enjoyed the warm exploits of walking, running, eating and drinking in a summer rain" (ingenious because true even if no one is enjoying it). It's true the snorkeling and boat trip is fine in the rain, not true the rainforest is pleasant in a downpour.But I booked this great place knowing we could hang out outside on the deck and read and bbq and relax with stunning views, and we did. Like I said "double good"--nice place with a great deck.Some reviews of this condo complex mentioned you are up a steep hill from the town. Unless you have mobility issues or small children, this is not a problem. The hill is short, the location is great.Go to Port Seafood (on dtreet *behind* main Street and opposite Coles) and to the deli/cheese shop (delicious bread). Go to the market in the park at the bottom of the hill on Sunday and buy prawns and fruit. Feast out on the deck! Port Douglas is wonderful, the people fun and friendly (despite their dubious view of the rain), and you will have a good stay here. mean a lot in Port Douglas.
