Silkari Lagoons Port Douglas

Silkari Lagoons Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent
"This was place amazing. The size of the rooms are very generous and was a lot larger than what we expect. The pools, BBQ facilities and everything was really good. Bonus that it had your own washing machine, dryer and dishwasher and even an espresso machine. it even had filtered water near reception and air conditioning and fans in all the areas you need. I can’t really fault the place except maybe you don’t get cleaning unless you’re staying for 7 days or over for free. Otherwise you get charged a fee. Which was fine for us but for others, they need to be aware of. This was due to you having your own washing machine and dryer etc.. overall it was a stunning place with 6 pools and even pool toys for the kids. It was a amazing place and would highly recommend anyone whose looking for an amazing and affordable place in port Douglas"

"Everything about the hotel was lovely. The only complaint we had was the hallways echo so every time a neighbor leaves you can hear their door slamming shut. Other than that it was a beautiful property and close to the beach!"

"This was a beautiful little hotel. It was walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. I was looking forward to doing some laundry while here on my one night stay but the young man from the front desk had 1 of the 2 washing machines and the only dryer tied up most of the day so I was not able to get any laundry done. Even when I told him I had a short time to stay, he did not offer to let me go ahead of him and use the dryer, which takes over an hour to dry clothes. I could have stayed at the hotel for the rest of the day to get my laundry done but I wanted to get out and explore the beautiful little town and I’m hoping to do laundry at my next hotel."
