Port Douglas is absolutely stunning. The local area - bars, beaches, reefs and rainforest are incredible.
Like lots of other reviewers have commented, the villas at Reef resort are privately owned - so it's a bit of a lottery re whether you have a well maintained or run down villa.
What I liked: The pool at Reef Resort is awesome and the staff were fabulous too. I would give these elements 4 stars.
What I didn't like: Our villa was quite run down, lounges were quite dirty and furnishing were very basic. No exhaust fans in the bathrooms, no oven, no basic supplies like a cutting board! I would give our villa 2 stars.
So overall 3 stars for a mixed experience.
