It has been 11 years since we stayed here and came back because of the location. You can walk to all the major areas and restaurants. The apartment was exceptional. King size bed is so comfy. Double spa and very large balcony overlooking the pool was well used. We could cook our meals easily in apartment rarther than dine out. On-site parking also a bonus. The owners, James and Kim, made sure we were happy with all arrangements and were there to help with tours etc. Would return without hesitation. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Nothing !

We booked the Regal for a great price. low season is good for us FNQ locals! The room itself was very clean, beds very comfortable, and fabulous pillows. The bathroom is oddly placed in-between the bedroom and the balcony. It has a wonderful spa, but you have to climb into the spa to enjoy a shower. But you will enjoy it, as it has great water pressure! Tea/coffee maker listed... "yeah-naa" plungers don't count. Took my pods home again. lol There are no lifts. There is undercover secure parking. The pool area is very appealing. The Regal is in a good Location, there are some good choices for food and drinks in the area. The hosts we met are a credit to the industry. Very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.

Regal Port Douglas staff were just wonderful - couldn't do enough to be helpful, both before and during our stay. Location - perfect! Can walk to all venues in town; Room - fabulous! Private spa on front deck, kitchenette and separate bedroom all felt very comfortable and luxurious; Pool - we used it, beautifully kept (even though slightly older decor!), and just like all north Qld pools at this time of year, the water was very warm!!

We didn't understand from website information that there were no lifts on the property. With 3 out of 4 of us nursing knee/hip/back injuries, those stairs were hard work!! The split level took a bit of getting used to - either going up to go down, or down to go up, to get from rooms to pool or underground carpark. (This is the ONLY negative for us)

Amazing location - short walk to beach , shops, restaurants - everything you need. Pool was great, warm and lots of chairs. Foxtel in the rooms! Spa on the balcony, tv could swivel on the wall mount so you could watch a movie from the spa! All basic necessities and products for kitchen and laundry. Secure free parking. Comfy beds.

Only stairs, no ramps for the pram. Hallway / walkway lights stay on all night which lights up the bedroom because of a window onto hall.

Best part was our room location. We had a choice from the ground floor and the corner high floor. My partner chose the high. The whole apartment was large and roomy. The balcony was very nice to sit out in with the cool night thundery breeze. Very clean and comfortable. Great customer service also.

When my partner chose the high floor we didn't realise we had to climb stairs. Unfortunately, with my aching joints, my body struggled up and down to and from our room. Also, the shower is situated in the spa tub and that was also a struggle to get in and out.

The location was excellent: just off the main street, Macrossan Street. There were plenty of places to eat right round the corner, and along Macrossan Street. The inlet was a short walk down Macrossan Street in one direction, and the ocean beach (with a lifeguard on duty) was a short walk down the street in the other direction. So the location is ideal for those without a car, though I think parking was free at the hotel, and they also advertised rental cars at a good rate for those who want to see the hinterland. The bed was very large and comfortable, and the balcony offered a place to sit and eat, drink (and smoke if that is your thing). The bathroom was very roomy with a large spa bath. The pool and the surroundings for relaxing were fine.

The room was not large, with only limited space for suitcases, etc. I'm not sure I agree with the description of the room as a studio apartment. The definition given in the dictionary is "A studio apartment typically consists of one large room that serves as the combined living, kitchen, dining, and bedroom." Though the room did provide cutlery and crockery (plates, dishes etc) and a toaster and electric jug, some people (not us actually) would perhaps like a microwave or something similar. Also the size wouldn't really fit the definition of studio. Nonetheless, the balcony does provide a nice place to eat and drink. The only other downside is that the spa bath also serves as the shower, and it is a big "climb" to get into it. Fortunately it seems to be non-slip.

Position was perfect in the centre of Port Douglas. Room has a TV, DVD player, kettle, toaster, iron, ironing board and clothes airer. Plus ceiling fan and AC. Nice white sheets and towels. 2 Bath towels each for a 4 night stay. Washing machine $3 and tumble dryer $4 in the basement/ car park. Car Park was gated at night.

Hair dryer was not very powerful.

Using the facilities made and enjoyed my own breakfast in the balcony area. Well catered for with microwave and electric jug. Good range of crockery and cutlery provided.

Some guests would struggle without a lift being available. Small gripe but an option of a slimmer pillow as I’m accustomed to would have been good, found myself experiencing slight neck discomfort being higher elevated on the thicker pillow.

We loved the location, right next to the main street, overlooking the pool area. The bath is massive, and everything was well cleaned. The bed is comfy. Would definitely come back and recommend as long as you don't mind the two caveats listed below.

2 things you need to know: 1. There are stairs everywhere, no lifts and you have to climb into the bath to take a shower. 2. The toilet door is a slat door which provides little intimacy.
