Poor srandard for the price
Sudio room was very small and poorly designed. Shower was tiny and bathroom lacked bench space. Room was very outdated and needed a thorough clean. Pool area was very small and lounge covers badly stained. A 15 minute walk to restaurants and main shopping area. Overpriced and would not stay again.

Location was good the property is close to the beach and to dining options. room wasn’t overly clean. The floors hasn’t been vacuumed properly. Some items left behind by other residents. air-conditioning worked well beds are comfortable, full kitchen in our room ideal if you have little kids because there’s a swimming pool outside right in front of your balcony and they can join in the noisy crowd that hangs out there not good if you’re trying to get away from the noise because the pool noise comes straight into your unit can’t really sit out on the balcony because of the noise from the pool. maybe, if you’re looking for something for how to ask for a non-pool view balcony

The place is great overall! It's quiet and within walking distance to the main street with all the restaurants and shops (15 mins max). The four mile beach is less than a 10-min walk which is nice. The marina where all the GBR boats leave from is about a 15-min walk which is again not bad. The room is clean and tidy and the kitchen is a nice addition. The pool was always empty when I stayed here. I'm usually picky with hotel bathrooms because it's very easy for mould to grow at the corners around the showers and bath tub but nope it was all white and clean. You'd have to pay for the safe though, I'm not from Australia so not sure how common this is. No complaints overall!

We stayed for 9 days. It was Very clean and quiet. Fairly central to shops. Staff was great. The only thing we didn’t like was the three flights of stairs with luggage was difficult and housekeeping after the forth day only ment they change bed sheets and towels. No soap shampoo or coffee was replenished however if you asked for some they gave it. Laundry was free as well as soap but it was cold water only. All in all it was very clean and comfortable.

Things to love about it: - Quiet - good bed and shower - Linen and towels fine - Short walk into town - Kitchenette well set up - Free laundry facilities For improvement: - Needs a little tlc eg blinds were a little shabby, the drying rack and luggage rack were both a bit rusty Dislikes: - Beach Towels vost $5, which I know is standard in Port Douglas but is annoying All in all, I recommend Bay Villas - I've stayed here before and would again. It just needs a little care to spruce it up around the edges but this stuff is not enough to put me off staying there/

Access to front main road and back road (rear access) allowed one a choice of access. One can walk to the main shopping and dining area, the library and the marina easily. The bedding (mattress) in the unit requires updating so if you have back issues, the bed in the unit we occupied could be problematic.

Peaceful, friendly staff, quick check in, my only problem was no lift so would be hard for older or sick people to climb the stairs. Otherwise a lovely option
