Top Cow Bay Hotel Reviews

Daintree Crocodylus

10/10 Excellent

"If you like the forest this place is for you"

Regal Port Douglas

8/10 Good

"This is a really nice stay. Right on the street with all of the shops and walkable to both the beach and the marina. But, some things that may be helpful for other guests to know: reception hours are VERY limited, though reception staff are very helpful. This will impact you if you need help booking a shuttle or locking up luggage or getting change or soap for laundry. They are SUPER helpful when available, but hours are extrememly limited. No hot tub on site, the jacquizi in the unit is a bath tub. (it's a bit odd - you have to walk through the bathroom to get to the porch. The jacquizi is not on the porch, just overlooks the porch.) Also, there is not daily service, so if you need soap or anything refilled before the service, too bad so sad. The pool is much smaller than it looks in the photos. Hotpot and pop-up toaster, but no microwave. But location can't be beat."

Coral Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Coral Lodge really helped put a roof over my head. It appears Expedia let me book for a vacancy that did not exist, and I did not find out until I landed at Coral Lodge. I was very grateful to the owner for finding me a bed for 2 nights at least (I had to go elsewhere) for the other nights. A disaster was narrowly avoided (the town was all booked out) and im grateful to Coral Lodge for trying to help me as much as they could. While I won’t be using Expedia again, I will definitely be staying at Coral Lodge again"

Mantra Aqueous on Port

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at this property before, the last time 10 years ago & sadly not much has changed in that time - the rooms are now quite outdated & need a refurb, the carpets are quite dusty & the tiles dirty. We selected the 1 bedroom swim-up apartment based on the promise that the pools were heated. Sadly they were not, they were absolutely freezing & when I raised it on day 1 with the manager he spun an excuse & said he would get it looked at. After 8 days & many more asks we gave up! Very disappointing when travelling as a family & selecting a specific pool room that we paid more for which basically can’t be used. Our child lasted 5 mins max each swim. The location of the mantra is great but sadly this will be our last visit to this resort which is in need of some TLC. Definitely better places to stay in town for similar prices & basics like heated pools & clean/ modern apartments."
