A wonderful tranquil tropical resort. Fantastic location and André the owner is a wonderful host and a warm soul. If you want to relax, but also have a base that is central to everything, this is the place. 5 stars is not enough.

2/10 Poor

Beware. I was surprised and disappointed that after a snap lockdown in Victoria and boarder closing in QLD no compensation was given or credit for a future stay. The request was unkindly dismissed. This was the first very negative experience I’ve had across three continents during this pandemic. The proprietor made our lockdown experience much more painful through our conversation.

Glorious spacious apartment with stunning views, tranquility & the opportunity for a well earned rest & relax. Easy access to restaurants, shops & markets. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend getaway a must for the discerning traveller. Attentive & helpful hosts Anthony & Andre make this resort a place of first class enjoyment & friendliness. My Grateful thanks Aidan

4/10 Fair

Not a resort, bed and breakfast, shower is outside
Just about everything is not as described in the listing --very disappointing. I seriously question the authenticity of the other reviews. This is not a resort, not a hotel, it is a bed and breakfast. Breakfast is fruit and coffee (better described as continental breakfast). The rooms are semi-attached to the owners' home, they are constructed of cinder blocks with fixtures from home depot and decorated with hung pictures and knick knacks of asian culture. The shower is outside and crawling with bugs (god forbid other things like snakes!!). The pool is seemingly unusable, I would not have gotten in as it didn't appear to be regularly cleaned. In short, this is a bed and breakfast, operated by two very friendly gentlemen that also live there. It is a bed and breakfast, it is not up to even a 3-star hotel standards and a very far cry from a 4-star resort as advertised. The listing should be reclassified to bed and breakfast to reflect reality. Also, the listing should state that the shower is located outdoors.

Friendly and relaxed hotel in a jungle paradise
I cannot commend this hotel highly enough. We were in Port Douglas for a week and decided to go for an accommodation away from the crowds. We could not be happier with our choice. Andre and Anthony are exceptional hosts, always there to help with good insights and local stories. They are a lot of fun to talk to. The hotel is located in the slope in the middle of the forest so it is very quiet with nature sounds. The swimming pool is very relaxing and has great views. A car is almost essential to move around, as the nearest restaurant is in Mossman 5 km away. Breakfast is very good at the hotel and it was included for us. The only minor downside for us was that our room could have had more light during the day. I think all the rooms have an outdoors private area though which largely makes up for the low light in the room. Once again this was probably the best accommodation I ever had in Australia.

Stay at Mai Tai if you like to be surrounded by lush greenery of the rainforest, waking up to the sound of birds chirping in a unique setting with awesome hosts. We had the most relaxing 4 days in Aug and would definitely stay there again on our next visit to Far North Queensland...next time we will stay longer. It is secluded so you will need your own transport and it will help to arrive during daylight. Breakfast is delightful when you have awesome views to accompany the fresh fruits, fluffy croissant, home made jams and great coffee that is served on the gorgeous verandah. If you like your fur babies, ask Andre to introduce you to their beautiful and very well behaved, sociable Bernese.

After a week of travelling around and doing all the touristy things it was so nice to have the opportunity to relax and just enjoy the property and the view. The staff went out of their way to make my stay a highlight of my trip and I can’t wait to come back to relax.

Excellent service. Quiet boutique accomodation
Location is up on the hill slope where you get a view of the sugar plantations every morning. Andre and Anthony are the best hosts you could ask for. They offer the best guides and suggestions for visiting the sites around the area. Enjoyable 5 days we spent here.

8/10 Very Good

Peaceful and Relaxing
Anthony and Andre are wonderful and gracious hosts at this luxury Bed and Breakfast. It is beautifully decorated with a fabulous view. The bed is comfortable and the shower wonderful. They really go the extra mile to make their guests comfortable. Our only complaint is internet access in the area is intermittent but that is a problem in Queensland right now.
