Located in a top location, opposite the beach and at the beginning of the best shopping street in Port Douglas. Everything at our fingertips. A pleasant welcome at reception who help with ideas for in and around our area. Very attentive to our needs. Hotel facilities were top clean and well presented. A full-sized kitchen gave plenty of options for either eating in or going to a restaurant or even using the BBQs on the beach. The hotel has a nice pool area which because it being an adult only hotel (No screaming Kids) meant you could quietly go for a swim or relax by the pool with a drink from the Bar. The hotel is slightly dated but still perfect for a stay in Port Douglas.

The Peninsular Boutique hotel has a lovely pool, heated in August, that's a brilliant series of interlocking pools with a waterfall. Its location, across the street from Fourmile Beach, is perfect and a great spot to have their delicious breakfast. |This is a very comfortable hotel with a lovely, efficient and professional staff team, good sized rooms with cooking facilities, including a coffee machine with pods and access to shared washing and drying machines with soap powder provided. A great place to stay if your visiting Port Douglas.

Cool and peaceful hotel by the 4 miles beach. Very spacious, for adults only. But the breakfast is open to all public. Very delicious and healthy breakfast with fruit platter and fruit juice. The staff are very prompt in replying emails/enquires. They can help to book airport shuttle and tours too. Nice swimming pools. Recommend to all adults who will like to have a peaceful stay in Port Douglas. Walking distance to cafes, marina, park, shops!

The hotel is well located at the end of the main drag – Macrossan Street – and right next to Four Mile Beach. The ground floor Hi-Tide café restaurant is popular with locals for TO coffee and brekkie/brunch. Residents can enjoy a varied menu of included breakfast packages. The hotel is an apartment style hotel with 2 rings, dishwasher, microwave and a good sized fridge. Room 15 had a sea view, a pleasant balcony overlooking the beach and a huge deep bath. Sheltered parking is available at no extra charge. Laundry facilities are also available. The service was both efficient and friendly service. The café serves only breakfast, but there is plenty of choice of bars and restaurants in Port Douglas just a short step away. LovetoWander - Visited as part of an East Coast Australia Road Trip

Wonderful location. Just a minutes walk to town centre We had an ocean view suite. Only comment on room was it was a bit dated. Some features had been updated.Room very big. Nicely equipped kitchen. Bathroom was large. Big bath. Only complaint in bathroom was lack of shower pressure. Bedroom was large. Plenty of hanging space and drawer space. Included cooked breakfast was an added bonus. Pool area was lovely Pool was heated and spa was extra nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100,000/10 — My Port Douglas go-to, forever. Peninsula Boutique Hotel set the tone from the very moment we walked in. We were greeted with complimentary towels and juice on arrival, which was such a lovely touch, and the staff were genuinely some of the friendliest and most welcoming people we encountered on our whole trip. The location is absolutely insane. Right on Four Mile Beach, one of the most beautiful stretches of sand you will ever see. We had a suite that opened directly onto the beach with our own private courtyard, and it was everything. Waking up and stepping straight out to that view never got old. The suite itself was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the spa bath was the perfect way to wind down in the evening. Big, bubbly, and very hard to get out of. The pool is to die for. Beautifully maintained and such a great spot to spend the afternoon doing absolutely nothing. And the food at Hi Tide Restaurant was unbelievably good. Seriously impressive. The breakfast included with your stay is also worth mentioning because it is not your standard hotel breakfast at all. Real food, real quality, and a gorgeous spot to enjoy it each morning. Being an adults-only property adds to the whole atmosphere too. It is calm, relaxed, and exactly what you want from a tropical getaway. It is also the only hotel in Port Douglas with beach and ocean views and a licensed venue on site, which makes it genuinely unique. If you are heading to Port Douglas, do not look anywhere else. This is the one. I will 100% be back and it is now my permanent go-to. Highly recommend!!

Staff were lovely and the breakfast was excellent, but unfortunately my overall stay was very disappointing. I was first placed in Room 26, where I found underwear left in a drawer and a cockroach in another. The air conditioner then broke down, though I appreciated how quickly the staff moved me to Room 8. Room 8 had a strong mildew smell as soon as I walked in. The staff helped start the dehumidifier that was already in the room, which suggests they were aware of the issue. I hoped it would improve, but every cupboard released more mould odour. Security was also a concern — the porch door leads straight to the street, and although I locked it every time I went out, I kept returning to find it unlocked. That didn’t feel safe. The property is older, and while the bathtub is huge and the pool area is nice with fresh towels, many towel racks were broken, the freezers needed defrosting, and the stove was confusing or not working. Microwave was fine. The biggest problem was the mildew. Within a day, I developed a severe eczema flare that left my face puffy, red, and very embarrassing to go out in. It only began to heal once I returned home. The timing makes the cause very clear. The staff are kind and trying their best, but the hotel needs much better maintenance management and proper handling of environmental issues like mould. Sadly, I wouldn’t stay here again.

This hotel is in a fantastic location, right on the beach and a quick walk to the Main Street. The rooms and service however did not come close to meeting expectation that reflects a 4 star hotel and the premium prices. We were told we had an early check in for 12:30, when we arrived, reception told us we could pay $50 to have the cleaners sent to our room straight away. This just felt very dishonest. The rooms are dirty, cobwebs, rubbish and tissues on the ground and sand on the tiles. Even after room service each day, it was extremely minimal work. Breakfast was delicious each day, however the staff couldn’t be less interested in being there. There was a young man who was very pleasant, however the other two ladies were witnessed tossing plates on tables and being visibly annoyed by coffee orders. We were charged twice on two different credit cards. We understand mistakes happen and asked for a refund. We got an email saying the refund was done. I enquired when I got there and it was in fact not done. A nice lady on the desk organised a work around to get the refund after 14 days of the double payment. Again an example of the staff just not caring. My partner and I try to stay positive and did not complain but we certainly won’t be back. If the hotel is to be 4 stars, the staff need an attitude to reflect it. It’s this places biggest let down.
