The property itself is great and the swim out room we stayed in was fantastic. The only issue I had with the place was that they do not heat the pool in Winter. I realise the weather is warm but it’s not hot so the pool water doesn’t warm up on its own. I thought that with a huge pool like that they would want people to swim in it however my kids only went in once.

I booked through wotif and when I arrived at the resort they knew nothing about my booking!!! They didn’t know who wotif was let alone have our booking. We had no where to go as we had no car and limited funds. I tried to cancel the booking and it said I was unable to due to it being after 6:00 pm - ( it was still 5:30 pm in brissy at this time). I argued the point and they said I’d have to pay a $300 cancellation fee. I explained to her that the resort doesn’t even have our booking so why am I getting hit with a $300 fee? Told me this was their policy. I argued the point and she said she would escalate my case and would hear back within 72 hrs. In meantime we still had no where to stay. We had to pay $600 to stay 2 nights with this resort until we could figure out what to do. I check my emails in the morning and I see there is an email at 12:30am telling me how to get into the facility (which was the sea temple) to enjoy my stay. What was I supposed to do from 2:00 pm the day before when I needed it!!! I receive another email after 72 hrs from Wotif telling me that they are sorry but they cannot waiver the $300 fee. I called my bank and deactivated my account so no monies could be taken out. I am NEVER ever going to book through Wotif again….NEVER!!! So if someon is reading this take note of what happened to us.

Stayed in apartment 228 for 7 nights. The room was spacious and plenty of room for a family of 4. A little aged and could do with some updates. Pool was great, only 1 resturant on site with limited menu. Overall a good stay.

This property is suited to families with children, it is not a tranquil getaway for younger or older couples. It is a bit tired, very noisy, and has quite limited food and drink options, the food quality is hit and miss. The breakfast service is way overpriced for a rather tired looking buffet, and for $38 expresso coffees are not included.

Communication and instructions from the owner were great and very responsive. The resort was under staffed so facilities such as room service and the restaurant were unavailable but we were not given any notification of this prior to our arrival and this did impact some of the ease we had anticipated for our stay.

Beautiful place to stay with all the facilities included so we could just relax. Very spacious flat so that everyone can feel they have their own space. Good for our family of 5. The Pullman facilities are there if you need them. Great location but you do need a car. Beautiful outlook so close to the beach and feels like the full tropical experience. We would stay there again

We had a lovely stay at this apartment. The apartment was equipped with everything needed. However, floors weren’t clean upon arrival, range-hood was not cleaned and there were a few things that weren’t working like the clothes dryer and main bedroom door to balcony could not lock. It’s a beautiful apartment regardless but may need more maintenance. Will be back again soon

Awesome stay!!
We had a great two day stay in apartment 174 for our annual girls weekend. Heaps of space and the beds super comfy. The swim out apartment was excellent....and in the afternoons we would swim around to the bar for cocktails!! At night we ventured out for a walk on the beach which is very close by. Only disadvantage is it is about a 5 minute drive to the main strip- this didn’t worry us as we were more than happy to buy supplies to make our own food and drinks and spend the majority of the time at the apartment soaking up the sun.

Port Douglas less than exceptional!
I booked this place based on reviews of exceptional, I guess my view of exceptional is different to everybody else? I stayed around the end of Covid restrictions in Queensland so the hotel was quiet. Restaurant was not open everyday. One night someone had a party, lot’s of yelling, so it echoed around the resort. Annoying! The room had no TV remote when I arrived. The bed was a little shabby, pillows dreadful. No housekeeping service. Only one toilet roll for a 7 day stay. I had a lagoon facing room, so in peak season I’d imagine these type of rooms to be very noisy. Golf course view would be better. Oh and they started replacing the roof when I stayed. It’s also not really walkable to Macrossan street. Apart from the above I loved PD. Resort stay was 6.5/7 out of 10

We had a fantastic family holiday. The property was a great sized property with a swim out pool, which came in handy with 3 children. Great alfresco area that goes out into the swim out pool which is adults could use. Great kitchen facilities which consist of a large fridge, cook top, oven and dishwasher. Beds were comfortable and I will definitely be going back once this Covid 19 craziness ends

Stayed at Sea Temple in December with wife and two children and had an amazing time. Absolutely loved the simplicity of the design of this hotel and the rooms. Symmetry is all around and helps give a relaxing feel. Beautifully maintained tropical gardens set the scene. Front entrance is enticing, furnishings are very "designer" and tropical and we couldn't wait to get into the pool. Love the burning flames from the pillars in the pool at night also. You can swim forever in the lagoon pool, as my children did, around and around the resort, only coming back for a quick break and an ice-cream before they were off again. Needless to say, they were exhausted at night. Gave me time to relax and read. Ate a few meals at the restaurant which was great (the pool bar is excellent for lunch). Good modern menu as you would expect. Would have loved to stay for longer to fully use the apartment facilities. Kitchen was well equipped and modern. Excellent place for a family holiday or even for couples I would imagine. Back in a heartbeat.

Sea Temple is fabulous. Together with two friends, my husband and I stayed for 5 nights in December. What a dream of a place! Magnificent apartments with beautiful furnishings and cooking facilities, the main room opened up onto a private terrace with the pool immediately in front of that. Each apartment has covered and lockable garaging for your car and the whole resort is very well maintained. A truly fabulous place to stay. We were there just before the main holiday season so it didn't appear crowded at all, in fact quite the opposite. The pool and canals are really something, it took us about 20 minutes to walk in the water all around the circular lagoons and main pool. Wonderful. The restaurant is very good, although we ate more often in Port Douglas, which is a very vibrant town with plenty to do and see.

Perfect! I cannot fault this property. It was exactly as I had hoped. The hotel is gorgeous and the pool is stunning. We spent so much time laying around and in the pool because there was nowhere else better to be. The meals at the pool bar were a little expensive, but I guess fairly typical. The cocktails were great. We stayed in a penthouse and we absolutely loved it. The apartment was extremely well appointed and had a full kitchen which is great if you are feeling lazy and want to eat in. Having a laundry was very handy. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant but would thoroughly recommend Salsa - the food and service was outstanding. We had a chocolate souffle to die for at Salsa. You won't be disappointed.

Stunning and luxurious resort. We stayed at Sea Temple for five nights in November. I couldn't recommend it more highly. I am very fussy about accommodation but I was certain I was in the best place in Port Douglas. It was as good as anywhere I have ever stayed. Spotlessly clean and very modern. We enjoyed floating around the enormous pool and the spa is a great place to relax and chat with friends. The swimout apartments are fabulous as you can drop in for drinks with friends. Some apartments get more sun than others so location is important in this resort. The restaurant is lovely - next time I would eat there more often as eating in Port Douglas is hit and miss and not much cheaper than the resort restaurant. However, the apartments are very well equipped for cooking in, ours even had a barbeque. Best coffee in the main street is at the Whileaway bookshop. The Cane Toad racing at the Iron Bar in main street (7.30pm each night) is not to be missed if you have young kids. I found the Low Isles trip with Sailaway to be terrific. This is the place to stay in Port Douglas.

What a fantastic holiday, we didn't want to leave! When we walked into our apartment we were blown away... it was beautiful. Sea Temple is an amazing resort as all of the apartments are located around the swimming pool. We arrived at night and the pool was lit with flame torches. The apartment was immaculate and the bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in. The resort breakfast is excellent so we ate at the restaurant for the first two mornings but then has breakfast in town every other day. We ate lunch at the pool bar most days as we just wanted to relax by the pool. We love Sea Temple and can't wait to return to do some more sightseeing.

Villa 313 was centrally located, immaculate with beautiful interior design, modern appliances and all the comforts of home. The carport and garage were quite small, parking the large hire car was a bit tight but we managed. The hosts Juanita and Mark were an absolute pleasure to liaise with, were extremely responsive and accommodating. The resort facilities were great, we used the gym and the main lagoon pool.

10 out of 10. We had been looking forward to our holiday for almost a year and Sea Temple did not disappoint. Our apartment was so comfortable we didn't want to leave. Large, open plan living with cooking facilities, king beds, balcony and roof-top terrace with jacuzzi and Weber facilities. The kitchen was well equipped so it was just like being at home. We spent long hours sitting out looking at the pool reading a book or in the jacuzzi at the end of the day. The food at the pool bar is great for lunches and the restaurant has views over the swimming pool, it's beautiful at night as the torches light up the pool. The resort is fairly big so it can take a a while to walk around, fortuntaly our apartment was in a great position. It would be fun holidaying at Sea Temple with a group so I'm trying to talk my friends into coming with us next year. This is one of the most gorgeous resorts I have ever stayed.

We loved everything about Sea Temple. We stayed in a 2 bedroom penthouse and it was absolutely amazing. The apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated - we felt at home from the minute we walked through the front door. The apartment is fully self-contained and had everything we needed for an easy holiday. We ate out most of the time but it was nice having a fully equipped kitchen for when we felt like staying in. We ordered a Coles grocery delivery on the first day so we were set for the week. The apartment had a huge rooftop courtyard with a BBQ, alfresco dining and a jacuzzi spa which we enjoyed most nights after dinner. Port Douglas is a beautiful part of the world and our apartment and the resort facilities made this the perfect holiday. We've travelled extensively and this is the best resort we have ever stayed in. We'll be back again next year!
