Just wondered whether anyone has been to Port Douglas before?
Can you recommend a place to stay? I've been having a look online and there is so much choice - personal recommendations are always better!

Thanks

I would recommend staying on the main street as a few of the bigger resorts are about 10 mins drive from town, and its so nice to walk straight out of your apartment to a restaurant etc, or sit on your balcony and listen to the restaurants/people below. We were there about 14yrs ago so acommodation recommendations are a bit out of date but we stayed at the San Michele in an apartment, it was lovely and private, very boutiquish, but extremely central, still looks good on the website.

I agree about staying near Macrossan Street, that's where you'll want to be near for the shops and restaurants. We stayed at one of the Mantra apartments (from memory there are a few but it was the one at the bottom of Macrossan Street). It was really good but that was nearly 4 years ago now.

Have a look on tripadvisor.com for recommendations.  Just plug in the location, and wait for hotel/motel reviews to come up.
