I came to stay at Lagoon's however as soon as I arrived and checked in found that the room was not clean, there was a smell and appearance of mould, the air conditoner was dirty and the fans were covered in black dirt. The receptionist Tina at the time treated my concerns disdainfully and rudely. She had no interest in... More

Port Douglas is fabulous at this time of year, the weather is usually sensational, the annual Carnivale festival is on with lots of events on the program, and the rates are still off-peak.

Arranged for this 2-night stay through my credit card points program. In the past, the results of using the program have been great; this was very much beneath their standard.

Thank you for your feedback. We don’t leave air-conditioners on in unoccupied rooms, just the ceiling fans. Certainly keeping the air-conditioners on would keep the room a lot fresher for arrivals, but once guests turn the air conditioner on this usually resolved the problem very quickly.

Staff were great. Warm welcome from arrival till departure. Had a swimout room so enjoyed the advantage of jumping in and out of pool without having to pack up everything for just a quick dip. Highly recommend the OAKS and room 20A if available. Enjoyed our time and will be back soon.
