A wonderful tranquil tropical resort. Fantastic location and André the owner is a wonderful host and a warm soul. If you want to relax, but also have a base that is central to everything, this is the place. 5 stars is not enough.

Great place if you want to escape the crowds. Very private with excellent hosts who are proud of their property and very knowledgable about the things to do in the local area. Highly recommended.
Glorious spacious apartment with stunning views, tranquility & the opportunity for a well earned rest & relax. Easy access to restaurants, shops & markets. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend getaway a must for the discerning traveller. Attentive & helpful hosts Anthony & Andre make this resort a place of first class enjoyment & friendliness. My Grateful thanks Aidan

Boutique hotel in nice location with excellent views. Personal service from very attentive staff made the stay extremely enjoyable. The only very minor annoyance was the traffic noise from the nearby road. There is not much traffic, particularly at night. Other than that, the resort is very tranquil and relaxing.
We enjoyed our short stay at the MaiTai.
The gentlemen who take care of you are great.
Right from making the reservation until we departed. Very friendly and helpful .
We would stay for a longer period next time .

Anthony and Andre are wonderful and gracious hosts at this luxury Bed and Breakfast. It is beautifully decorated with a fabulous view. The bed is comfortable and the shower wonderful. They really go the extra mile to make their guests comfortable. Our only complaint is internet access in the area is intermittent but that is a problem in Queensland right now.
The resort is situated on a hillside with an amazing view over Daintree Forrest. If you stay in the orchid suite then you have a garden with a view over this beautiful area. It’s calm and you hear birds chirping from early morning to late evening.
The room we had was big. You fit two people with suitcases easily. Very beautiful and romantic decorated room with a comfortable bed, also romantically decorated. You have a fan that is perfectly located so it’s giving fresh wind on your legs more that’s on the head (we liked that). You also have aircon if you need.
You will need a car to stay here. By car it’s 15 min down to Port Douglas where you find lots of restaurants and bars. Andre will give you recommendations for where to eat.
Andre also makes the best breakfast with different fruits, toast, yaourt, jam, cereals and more all tasting really good.
You also can enjoy the swimming pool with the same view over the Forrest. Bring a beer from the minibar and take a swim and then enjoy your beer in the very nice lounge bed beside the pool.
This place is not by the beach but had a perfect location for those who loves a quiet place that has everything for a romantic stay with a loved one. We would recommend this place to all of you who appreciate small romantic and nice details in the room and in the place where you stay. And that likes to have a more personal feeling of the service you can get. Andre helps you to plan your days with snorkelling, guided tours etc. All with local peop
Beware. I was surprised and disappointed that after a snap lockdown in Victoria and boarder closing in QLD no compensation was given or credit for a future stay. The request was unkindly dismissed. This was the first very negative experience I’ve had across three continents during this pandemic. The proprietor made our lockdown experience much more painful through our conversation.
Not a resort, bed and breakfast, shower is outside
Just about everything is not as described in the listing --very disappointing. I seriously question the authenticity of the other reviews. This is not a resort, not a hotel, it is a bed and breakfast. Breakfast is fruit and coffee (better described as continental breakfast). The rooms are semi-attached to the owners' home, they are constructed of cinder blocks with fixtures from home depot and decorated with hung pictures and knick knacks of asian culture. The shower is outside and crawling with bugs (god forbid other things like snakes!!). The pool is seemingly unusable, I would not have gotten in as it didn't appear to be regularly cleaned. In short, this is a bed and breakfast, operated by two very friendly gentlemen that also live there. It is a bed and breakfast, it is not up to even a 3-star hotel standards and a very far cry from a 4-star resort as advertised. The listing should be reclassified to bed and breakfast to reflect reality. Also, the listing should state that the shower is located outdoors.
I cannot commend this hotel highly enough. We were in Port Douglas for a week and decided to go for an accommodation away from the crowds. We could not be happier with our choice.
Andre and Anthony are exceptional hosts, always there to help with good insights and local stories. They are a lot of fun to talk to.
The hotel is located in the slope in the middle of the forest so it is very quiet with nature sounds. The swimming pool is very relaxing and has great views.
A car is almost essential to move around, as the nearest restaurant is in Mossman 5 km away. Breakfast is very good at the hotel and it was included for us.
The only minor downside for us was that our room could have had more light during the day. I think all the rooms have an outdoors private area though which largely makes up for the low light in the room.
Once again this was probably the best accommodation I ever had in Australia.
