Peninsula Boutique Hotel Port Douglas - Adults Only Haven

Location near beach and Macrossan Street. Room (suite 13) was very quiet and peaceful. Well equipped kitchenette, comfy bed and everything we needed. Pool and jacuzzi were great, perfect temperature. Consistently good breakfasts and helpful staff.

Great location, nice breakfast

It isn’t as clean as it used to be. Also they now limit the breakfast offering included in the guest rate.

Lovely people who genuinely care about customer service . The young receptionist was very welcoming on our arrival . We had a room overlooking the pool which was both spacious and comfortable . The restaurant menu maybe a little limited but what they do ,they do well . Just a short walk from the Main Street along mostly a flat paved area ,this hotel is ideally suited for exploring Port Douglas . At dinner the waiting staff were engaging and friendly . A proper family hotel with good people who care . Not sure who thought brown tiles in part of the pool was a good idea but we imagined it was to represent the coral reef nearby ? It didn’t make the pool appealing though! Overall we loved our stay in Port Douglas and this hotel in particular .When we had an issue it was dealt with immediately and with a smile and any help requested ( taxis,confirmation of pick up times ,safe deposits )were attended to quickly and efficiently . There was even free laundry facilities which were much appreciated after several weeks of travelling . Recommended .

We liked the size of the room and the location.

The daily cleaning of the room could have been more thorough.

We stayed three nights at this hotel after reading through reviews on this and other properties. We chose this for the convenience of location in town similar to other reviews, but the negatives may not be quite worth the convenience. The positives are (1) location of walkability to everything in port douglas and view of the four miles beach. Our room is coral spa suite #20, and the ocean view as well as the wave crashing sound is incredible especially the few days we stayed were windy and rustling up some palm trees. (2) the breakfast was better than expected - it is not continental or buffet, rather a la carte menu of 5-6 options. Between the two of us over three days we tried almost all items and they were well done!! Compliments to the chef a d kitchen staff. (3) the washer dryer is a plus for our long journey in Australia and the post-scuba diving laundry need. The negatives have been reported by others - housekeeping inconsistency. For us it went beyond that. The first night we realized that pillows had this awful sweaty oily odor to them, as with the toss pillows that dressed the bed. I sprayed them with the travel size lavender spray but couldn't rid the odor. We wrapped towels around them to cope. We told Sue (manager) about this and she noted to have all pillows and inserts ans sheets changed out. It was very unpleasant after our diving trip to find nothing changed and the pillows had the lavender spray scent from last night. Shelly from front desk went to another room and got us a set of pillows. Also the coffee pods were not replenished and towels not fully replaced. It was very disappointing for us. Another thing to keep in mind is that the property is old inside. Walking through the lobby made us wonder if we were dropped at the wrong hotel. It has a motel lobby vibe and no presence at all (for AU$500+ nightly rate). Hallways are cramped and our suite was not clean. LED bulbs of various temperature dot the suite without any thoughtfulness, some are pretty harsh 5000K lights that makes the room highly unpleasant. The tiles in the room are slippery as well. Overall, a shock to the downside and little wonder the property doesn't show too many room pictures, as you wouldn't be coming here if you know the quality of the lodging.

Loved our time at Peninsula Boutique Hotel. It is Child Free. Pool is interestingly different, heated. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Easy walking distance around Port Douglas and across the road from 4 Mile Beach, which has Surf Life Savers stationed on the Beach each day.

I love this place, first stayed there in 2007. Great location, great rooms and facilities, great staff. Laying in bed at night with the aircon off and the balcony door open, listening to the sound of the surf, pure bliss.

Location by the beach and the Main Street in town was excellent. Breakfast was good but service was inconsistent; Sometimes quick and sometimes slow. Pool was good.

Suite was tired and needs updating. Slats in room dividers were falling out. Wall repairs not completed. TV outdated and didn’t work very well support streaming music.
