Rydges - accommodation in Julatten

The hotel is just out of town. 15 mins walk and 20 mins walk to the Superyacht marina. It’s a beautiful hotel. We had room 57 which was large and included a kitchen, dining table and lounge area. Large bathroom with tub and large balcony overlooking the pool and lagoon swim up bar. Ideally situated. Happy hour is 4-5pm. There’s lots of little nooks to explore. The main pool and 2 lap pools at the rear of the hotel. We didn’t come across the fitness centre or games room but they’re on the map. There’s a tennis court and a spa/bbq near to the breakfast room, aswell as more BBQ’s near the lap pools. We added breakfast onto our booking which was much cheaper than paying locally. There’s a bottle shop directly opposite the hotel. I loved the open feel to the hotel. No front doors. The reception area has a comfortable seating area with a small coffee bar and big overhead fans. All open plan and overlooking the pool. There’s a pathway at the rear that leads onto 4mile beach. You can do the scenic walk but wouldn’t recommend doing it in flip flops lol. It’s steep and rocky in places but manageable. It was my birthday and there was a bottle of bubbles and a birthday card waiting when we arrived. Very much appreciated. There’s a Coles and small Kmart in the town. Lots of bars and restaurants and bottle shops. Market day is Sunday and Wednesday. Port Douglas is beautiful.

the pool was amazing and the staff were very good

The setting was lovely - the room was private and lovely outlook - short drive to Port Douglas central Lovely staff
