Rendezvous Reef Resort Port Douglas - Port Douglas

We were impressed with the friendly welcome we received. Our villa was clean and much larger than we anticipated. We didn't spend much time in the villa though did use all of the appliances including the washer and dryer. After spending the day at the Great Barrier Reef, washing our clothes was helpful prior to going to Daintree Rainforest. The desk […] was helpful with food options, map locations and overall friendliness. Each morning a hot breakfast was tasty. We will return. Thanks for making our visit relaxing! Read more

Great value and good rates during off-peak season. Conveniently located along main access road to Port Douglas, this beautiful and relaxing oasis features four pools, including a lap pool and a lagoon pool. The villas are modern and clean and feature a living room with patio, kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, 2 bathrooms, and about 3 bedrooms (upstairs). […] The staff is very friendly and accommodating. An on-site restaurant features breakfast, buffet, lunch and dinner. Highly recommended if you want to stay for more than three days! Read more

We had an amazing experience. The apartment, the resort amenities, and it's location to town, the beach and the outdoor theater were great. The grill are and the pools were very nice. We enjoyed the six days that we stayed.

Hotel Space is great. We stayed in the 2 bedroom unit and had lots of room and enjoyed all the amenities (kitchen, washer, dryer) and separate bedrooms upstairs away from living area. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant is good as well. Pool area is relaxing and well maintained.We had a car so could easily get into town, […] but there is also a shuttle that will pick you up at the hotel for a fee. Overall a great stay. Read more

The resort is undergoing renovations. We were in one of the recently renovated 2 bedroom units, however there were a few problems with it. The light fixtures looked like they were barely fastened to the ceiling (especially when the fans were on). One of the bathrooms smelled so terrible (mold?) that we couldn't even go in there and we had to keep the […] door shut. The staff was helpful when we asked questions. The resort is too far from town to walk, but there's a good shuttle service that is easy to use and we never felt too separated from town. Read more

Our 3 night stay in Rendezvous Resort was excellent. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. Hotel is very well managed, we thought.

The main powert switch was kept switching off during the night and the aircon wasnot working!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The kids just loved the variety of pools. The rate was very reasonable. The buffet breakfast slightly disapointing.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very uncomfortable stay sleeping on the beds is like sleeping on the floor had to change rooms second apartment aircon did not work could not use dishwasher and the laundry and bathroom flooded when it rained we got no help to clean the water it is the worse place I have stayed

Genuine Expedia guest review

Staff were a bit off the pace. Several times whilst having breakfast staff would notice food dropped on the floor and then quickly look the other way. A bit lazy to be honest. Systems also pretty average. We booked in for a dinner for which they had no record. They also had no record that we should be provided with full breakfast and demanded proof […] and then tried to suggest that it was only continental. BBQ around the pool unsafe and eventually closed down altogether. Accommodation was very good although lounges in family room very uncomfortable. No wifi as advertised. Sounds a bit negative really as the accommodation was quite good and we were overall very happy. The swimming pools were fantastic and the kids were in them all the time. Read more

Easy to find and very private. Has everything you need you just need to get your food. Close to the town shops/supermarket etc. Has a variety of pools and a playground for the children all within the resort. Wonderful place to stay would definitely go back there again.

Helpful friendly staff, close to many different tourist attractions. Stayed for 7 days and could not find a fault during our stay. Got a great deal booking through Expedia. Fantastic experience overall.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is a great family resort, except for the small delay as our room was not ready on time everything else was great. The units were very nice and quite clean the pool area outside the restaurant/reception was beautiful. But if you stay here you will need a car to get into town if you don't want to wait for the shuttle bus.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The lap pool was excellent and gym facilities were very good. The car port was very narrow, even for a very small car. I would have appreciated over the week for shampoo, conditioner, etc, to be either larger for a week, or replaced after 2-3 days. No receipts were issued for drinks, or breakfast, yet at breakfast the lady was insistent that I provide […] my room number. The airconditioners were very good and Kitchen facilities and fridge very good. The ceiling fans rattled and the one in the bedromm looked as though it might come adrift. No one asked over the week about how we found the facilities. Read more

Very good resort short drive to Port Douglas.good setting and pools The only niggle was the $4.40 daily charge for an old room safewhen nowadays modern safes can be bought for about 50 euros. Most hotels provide a safe free of charge

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great to have choice of 3 pools including the lap pool and gymnasium. Staff at check in could have been a little more enthusiastic. Maybe tried to put in too much furniture for small space in lounge room though otherwise good sized couches. Thanks for the upgrade too . :)

we booked a double bedroom villa for our family (2 adults and 2 kids). It was really great, modern, clean and spacious. Kitchen and laundry in the villa are very convenient. Several swimming pools, the children enjoyed the main one which has a little cave! The best accommadation we had during our trip in Australia for the price we paid. I recommend […] this place.

Very comfotable clean and tidy but needs more cookware frying pan ect. To cater for families but over all very relaxing and comfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

the pools and gardens were great but the villas are not 4 star - they are shabby and basic.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Accommodation was clean and comfy with good space. Disappointed that we had booked over a month ago and we got the worst room on site. Very noisy with vehicles leaving Resort, ear plugs had to be worn. Work was also being carried out right outside the back of our accommodation which made for an unsightly mess. Very friendly service at the restaurant […] and the meals were nice. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although the hotel is some way from the centre of Port Douglas it is nicely situated on pleasant grounds a short walk from the beach. Unfortunately our unit was located at the entrance, close to the busy road, and we had to put up with early morning construction noise as work was done to the hotel's entrance.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A welcoming Resort well suited to families. Main pool was lovely but not enough lounges for amount of people using it. Other pools very small and disappointed lap pool was not fill, no-one working on it to repair fault the whole 8 days we were staying. A BBQ at north end of resort would have been ideal. Rooms were large and clean but there were three […] light bulbs not working when we arrived. Would stay again. Read more

We had an absolute ball staying at rendezvous reef resort. The rooms were great the staff were friendly and helpful and Port Douglas is amazingly beautiful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Main drawcard was the adults only large lap pool -no hint online that it was empty and no sign of work on the site + hotel vague about reopening -and about anything else asked. Initially allocated a vehicle- inaccessible villa right on main road with bedrooms not as requested. Eventually we were re-sited but overall the place was very disappointing […] for adult use. No screens so a/c necessary for ventilation -air flow not adjustable. Bedroom (and other ) lighting not adequate for reading at night.Place really only suitable for families with little children. Was clean and beds comfortable. Read more

Lots of space and I loved having 2 bathrooms (one for the teenagers)

Genuine Expedia guest review

The 3 bedroom villa was spacious. Equipment was functional and mostly worked. Air conditioners worked and quiet. The phone was not working. Fan in the en suite bathroom did not work. The villas are serviced at additional cost. We were close to the main road, where there was some traffic noise. The pool area near our villa was secluded and kept clean. […] The BBQ area was great, nice touch by the pool. We did eat at the restaurant and the food was good quality, however, a touch pricey for what it was. The resort is out of town and would advise car hire. Not walking distance. Overall, not luxury accommodation, however, functional and ideal if you want to self cater in comfort. Would recommend to families with small children. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Rendezvous is great for families, the pool areas are very nice. Our two kids found plenty of play mates etc. the BBQ area is very good as well. Restaurant is ok, kids do eat free with paying adults off the children menu. No real critisism of the resort and would recommend it to friends and would stay there again. Some advice for Port Douglas, it is […] rather expensive, and getting into and out of town, it's about 5km, is on the shuttle busses which are not free. They charge $4 each person each way! So for a family of 4, that's $32. So by the time you add in airport transfers of $110 each way, hiring a car not only gives you freedom, it also is cheaper. Read more

We have two kids aged 5 and 6, the hotel was perfect for them - with the 3 resort style pools, of which they had a "secret tunnel" .... this was a winner, plus a lap pool to swim of those DELICIOUS cocktails!! The Lychee Sparkling was beautiful!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Really lovely friendly staff and a very relaxed holiday. Not too busy when we went there so nice and peaceful. Loved the villas as had privacy as a family with space for everyone. Pools were fantastic.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We enjoyed our stay but were very disappointed with dinner in the inaptly named Swish restaurant. The portions were very meagre and poor value for the price. We didn't go back.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were delighted with our stay - very quiet, relaxing pools - pleasant surroundings which were very well maintained. No litter and bar b ques cleaned daily. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were so many attractions with short drives and the weather was perfect. Overall one of our best holidays.Only one concern - we needed a foldup bed […] for our stay and the mattress was very thin with some stains - perhaps an upgrade in this area would be advisable.

This would probably be considered a "family" resort, but that didn't stop us (a couple) enjoying our stay. The resort is a "village" of villas so it was all spread out. Our villa had 2 upstairs bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and air conditioning throughout. Disappointingly the TV reception was very poor and the lounge uncomfortable. […] The gorgeous lagoon pool area was a wonderful place for parents to relax and children to play. My only thought would be that a child free pool would have been a bonus for us. There is a large lap pool - but it was the scene of children's group swim lessons and adult scuba lessons. We didn't get to try the restaurant but it was doing great business. Read more

Everything about the place was great. Having the beautiful pools and the tennis courts etc added to the holiday and being a short stroll to the beach was convenient. The only downfall would be the distance from the shopping centre - you definitely need a car. The gym being closed was a bit of a dampener but the lap pool made up for it!

Genuine Expedia guest review

A great location for family holidays, about 3km out of town but easily accessable by 2 town shuttles. Fantastic setting and lovely staff made it a very enjoyable stay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I had a great holiday with some excellent tour advice/booking from the reception staff. The restaurant service was great with lovely food. The pool was good although a little cool due to the weather conditions. The villa was a little disappointing, It may have been empty for a while as there were a few dead bugs around (!). The outside light was broken […] and not repaired during my stay, despite asking the reception staff and being assured that this would be attended to. This made getting in after dark a little difficult - fumbling around with keys in the dark etc. The big disappointment for me was no bath tub - the description does say shower/tub combination. But a great holiday and I wasn't really there that much anyway. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hooked up a great offer, however it turned out that the main pool and tennis courts were closed for maintenance. Should have also signed up to Hotels.com 'welcome rewards' prior to making the booking as this and previous bookings have not been captured.

Quite happy with the staff, and the position of our villa, but it was a 50min walk into town, the place was not as clean as it could have been, the telephones broke down several tmes, dryer not working when we arrived, and when we left the microwave was not working.....staff very nice, but I wont go back there to stay...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our family spent the Easter long week-end at Rendezvous Reef Resort Port Douglas and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The room was great - clean and just what we booked. The pools were a big hit with my boys - they loved swimming in the caves and underneath the waterfalls. It is was a shame that the tennis courts were not availalbe during our stay. […] We enjoyed eating at the Swish restaurant and the kids meals were spot on. I recommend the steak sandwich at some time - very tender and just delicious. However the restaurant only seem to excel at their busy times. The times we ate and it wasn't busy we found the service and food some what lacking which really was the only low point of our trip. We found travelling on local buses so easy and convenient, picking us up right out front of the resort, and the front desk staff were only too happy to help us with understanding the timetable and booking our transfers. Thank you for a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Read more

The accommodation was very nice but they need to change out the lounge and chairs in the unites not very comfortable. Had a wonderful time the weather was tropical ,swam every day.Went on a calypso just snorkel cruise the guys were fantastic really look after us well.The reef was overcast and choppy but still had a great time could see the amazing great […] barrier reef clearly. Take sun screen as I still got very burnt with the weather over cast. The boat ride took some time to get to the reef but was lots of fun. We stood on the bow of the boat and had a great time riding the waves home. The combined clubs" the tin shed" is a must for a visit and is great for eating out. Mal really looks after you. Has a great deck looking out over the entrance of port Douglas marina. Read more

We went for a 6 days holiday with our mother. We had room which is just next to the reception. The staffs are extremely helpful with all the recommendations and services. The room is well equiped with washing machine, dryer, full kitchen and dishwasher. All the Laundery powers and dish washing powder/liquid were supplied. The bathrooms and kitchen are […] newly renovated. The furnitures had a few issues (e.g. the mattress of sofa slide off all the time, the single bed we had got wheels underneath and it slide away when we sat down, mattress of bed are too soft etc.) The restaurant and pools are greatly recommended. The chef's special : Roast Chicken stuffed with blue cheese and mushrooms are YUM!!!!!!!) BBQ area is great and it's next to the 2nd swimming pool. We came from Sydney, a little bit not use to so many insects...hopefully they can store some flyscreen to the room windows and slide doors. Overall a great place~ Read more

Overall the hotel was great, the staff were really friendly and helpful. The 'Villas' were advertised a deluxe, this is not a word I would use to describe them. They were clean and had all we needed but things like lights in the bedrooms not working and the shower head was broken and you could not sit on the furniture in the lounge for too long as they […] were so uncomfortable do not really equate to ‘deluxe’.

reasonable hotel, the staff were very friendly and helpful. a hire car really is a must, its to far to town, there is a regular bus service but a car would be more useful.the food served in the resturant was nice and good value.i recomend this hotel to anyone on a budget.
