Awesome stay! Didn’t want to leave. Deluxe apartment was excellent (beautiful, clean, comfortable). Had everything we needed. Two pools are beautiful and clean. Tennis court is great and having the BBQ option by the court was great. Walking distance to beach and town was so convenient. It was better than what we expected! We would definitely return.

Stay in October 23
Our apartment was tired and dated. These units are owned by individuals and let out on a commercial basis. The team at the apartments who run the bookings are lovely but they can only work with the owners and the apartments they have. Odd that we had to pay in full 6 months before our stay. We gave our feedback to the management who appreciated it. If they don’t know there is an issue they can’t fix it. Great location, we won’t go back to the same apartment again.

Hi Oliver,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it is always helpful to hear from the people staying in the apartments. Your feedback has been passed on to the owner of the unit and we are discussing possible upgrades to the apartment.We generally take full payment 30 days prior to arrival, not 6 months, so this may be an issue with hotels.com. I am sorry that you found the apartment to be tired and dates, but glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall and the location of Mandalay. We hope that you will re-visit us to stay in one of our renovated (executive) apartments.Kind regards

Nothing unique about the Mandalay. It was comfortable enough walking distance to shops and beach. Small pool area unclean could do with a revamp other pool was good and clean. Disappointed I didn’t get told about the 3 flights of stairs I had to climb to get to my room when booked through Expedia (no fault of Mandalay) and no elevator difficult for someone with knee problems. Room itself was well equipped and spacious. Staff were friendly and welcoming

Hi Aileen,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am glad to hear that you found the apartment to be spacious and well-equipped, and the staff to be friendly and welcoming. I am surprised to read that you found one of the pool areas to be unclean as the pools and pool areas are cleaned daily. Had we known then we would have arranged for someone to clean it immediately. I am sorry if this impacted your stay. I wish that we had known about your knee problems as we would have moved heaven and earth to allocate you an apartment on a lower level. Should you choose to return to Mandalay, please contact us to see which ground floor room options are available. I hope that despite the couple of things that you have mentioned, you enjoyed your holiday in Port Douglas. Kind regards,Kerry

The apartment is close to the beach, has a great swimming pool and clean on the inside. The only problem we had was the air conditioner vents looked like they have not been cleaned for a while. Heavy dust and looked like possible mould. We had a bit of allergic reactions when we stayed here.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022
Response from Kerry on 10 Oct 2022
Dear Stefanus,Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed our beachfront location and lovely swimming pools, and found the apartment to be clean during your 2-night stay. I am sorry to hear that you felt that the air conditioner vents were not up to a satisfactory standard of cleanliness. They are dusted by our housekeepers every time the apartment is cleaned, and they get a thorough clean once per month. Because of this, we never have issues with dust building up or vents becoming mouldy. I did check the vents in the apartment today upon seeing your review, and they are very clean. Therefore, I would be extremely surprised if your allergies were due to dust on the vents. You stayed with us at the start of October, ie. The start of the allergy season, and many people were complaining of hay fever symptoms that week. This may well have been the cause of your allergy symptoms since even if you don’t suffer from hay fever at home, it can be different in new locations with different flora. I do hope that this did not impact your stay too much, and that you managed to enjoy your time in Port Douglas.Kind regards,Kerry

Hi Robyn Thank you for your feedback and great rating. We are so fortunate the local council offer a recycling program at the transfer station and loose items are sorted there. Each time we have tried to have different bins, everyone puts the wrong items in the wrong bins and our poor staff spend half their day sorting through rubbish. So via the transfer station, the majority of recyclable items get to the right place. We hope to see you again for another fantastic holiday in Port Douglas.

Great value for money & nice big rooms!
We stayed for 7 nights & had an amazing stay. Everything you need us here - towels, utensils, tea & coffee + more. The 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for 2 adults & 2 teenagers. Both pools were great & the bbq facilities were good also. It’s only a 5-10 min walk up to the main street & literally across the road to the beach. Staff were very helpful & friendly.

We had everything we need in the room - kitchen, laundry, spa bath and a generous outdoor setting. Great to also see a selection of books in the room, perfect read by the poolside or by the window overlooking the gardens while sipping your cuppa.
