This is my second visit to Mai Tai and we decided to go back because I wanted something special for my wife and myself before going overseas for work again.

Less than a year after our first stay at Mai Tai Resort, Port Douglas, we recently returned for a second time to soak up the relaxing atmosphere of this very special hideaway.
