We were on the 2nd floor. Too many stairs, but that was our mistake for not asking! It is walkable to the shops, if you're fit and active Overall though we had a very relaxing holiday. Dishwasher in 13a needs fixing or replacing. Only one plug in the apartment for 3 sinks.

Underwhelming

A little bit far to walk to main part of town. Well overdue for a refurbish. Walk ups to most units. Parking reasonable but tight. Stove top is portable and was on a high shelf and not clean, other dishes not clean. Overpriced for what you got. Staff were great, nice pool.

Old uncomfortable bed. Crappy old/tiny bathroom with mould on inside of shower door, water pressure poor & leaked through old door onto floor. No room & no extras soap, face washer etc. Room cleanliness poor. Location was ok if you like to walk - about 1km to shops/cafes in Main Street. Self parking very tight, but under cover.

Great 4star apartments, with full kitchens/amenities, 2 separate pools. Bay Villas is located really close to the main shopping/eats street - great cheap shuttle service pick-up/drop off at your leisure. The staff at Bay Villas were SO friendly & helpful-incl. ongoing communication prior to our arrival, suggestions/arrangements for activities whilst visiting, and easy a/h checkin - which all made our holiday easy, seamless & stress free. SO glad we chose this resort over the billions of others avail in Port Douglas.

Nice place for a short break

Nice apartment in a good central location ... only 10 minutes from the main street in Port Douglas. Lovely welcome from the receptionist, Rhian, who gives a great first impression. Nice swimming pools, although could do with some umbrellas over lounges for some shade. Balcony area was dirty and therefore not inviting. Overall a good stay though.

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 Room was very outdated and needed a thorough clean.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.
