Coral Beach Lodge

Loved location and the restaurant and bar were great. The room had what we needed and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately we had cold showers which was a shame. We stayed 2 nights and were offered a discount dinner which was great due to the shower situation. We’d happily stay again. We like the garden outlook and proximity to the marina.

Property good good location friendly helpful staff bush adjacent to property a bit smelly but not too bad. Could do with bedside lights for reading in bed and being able to see where you are going when you turn off the switch next to the door in the dark

Its a clean place and comfortable.

Casual, easy stay. Good pool

Lovely staff snd very helpful

Nice set up, a bit noisy, our cistern leaked and emitted high pitched noise all night, zero hot water in the morning.

Hi people! I had such a horrible experience in Coral hostel and wanted to share it with you: You can't judge the cleaning of this place because there's no such a thing. I stayed three days and nobody ever cleaned my room, bathroom and floor were always dirty. Also, the kitchen fridge was leaking which was not only disgusting but dangerous as well. The owner threw away all my food and said it was on the floor and went off, which was not true and, in any case she could just put it back on the fridge, right? When I asked to see the cameras she refused to show them. You can also tell she was lying because she said there was meat on the bag and I'm vegetarian. On my third day, I been asked to move to a new room with dirty bed sheets from the previous guest and they refused to change them, as according to the owner "they made the bed but somebody has just messed it." One of the housekeepers replaced the sheets but gave me one with a blood stain on it, and again, the owner refused to change it. Finally, the owner told me she was sick of me asking for things when I was paying so little and asked me to pack my staff and leave the place.I told her I only wanted a clean room and proper bedsheets but she said I was being rude. Everybody in the hostel was afraid of this crazy woman as she was threatening everybody just for leaving a dirty plate in the kitchen when actually they are not even capable of cleaning the rooms. Those who have been in this hostel last year say it used to be a nice place, but this new owners don't now know to manage it, they are arrogant and uneducated people who never apologise or care for the customers. I know there's no many hostels in Port Douglas but please backpackers, if you can choose, DON'T STAY WITH THIS HORRIBLE CRAZY PEOPLE, we don't deserve this treatment.

Booking our stay at the Coral Beach Lodge was a bit of a last minute thing and I must say that I was a bit dubious about the communal kitchen, but I was pleasantly surprised. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful and our room was clean and a good size, which included an outdoor table and 2 chairs outside the sliding door at the back of the room. The pool was lovely! There was also a table tennis table and a pool table which we had a few games on. The communal kitchen was great as everyone was friendly and chatty with each other. I think this may be a back packers place as there were a lot of young travelers there. We did plan a barbecue for that night though, but the gas bottle was empty so we cooked it in the kitchen. They are building a bar there but it won't be ready until April. Overall, a nice place to stay and was only $99 for the night.

I really enjoyed my stay at this place. Definitely great value for money and conveniently located. The staff are so friendly and helpful too.

Part of this place is still a hostel, the other part has been converted to large comfortable private rooms, each with a small terrace out back. No complaints really, it's good value for the price, except maybe that some hostel guests talked loudly in the interior court until the wee hours - it didn't bother me much, but light sleepers may want to try getting one of the rooms farther from the common areas. Walking to town / marina is possible, though a bit far for some (esp. at night), so car/bike/e-scooter come in handy. I'd definitely come back.
