We booked on line and expected a room on the first floor over looking the golf course as was confirmed by telephone. When we arrived we were given a ground floor room with direct access to the pool. Breakfast was usual fare however they did have a chef stationed at a stove to cook omelettes if required. We'd planned to... more

We stayed for 6 nights in a 2 bedroom swimout apartment. These are certainly the pick of the bunch and ours was off the children's wading pool which was a plus for us as we weren't dropping into deep water from our verandah. Apartment was very quiet and well-appointed with the exception of the kitchen. We certainly concur with one... more

We checked in to the sea temple after checking out of another hotel that was not what we were expecting. We got a good standby rate which made it possible for us to stay. Direct beach acccess, lagoon (pool) access direct from your own veranda, stunning well appointed rooms that are serviced daily and kept exceptionally clean. Great affordable breakfast... more

The good: excellent, friendly staff. Well appointed rooms. The bad: The pool - of itself, mainly good. But, if you had a ground floor suite fronting on to the pool, lucky you, you had recliners in front of your room and a pool view but everyone in the pool can see you and it's noisy. If you didn't get a... more

This hotel is marketed as a luxury retreat and it does tick most of the boxes, but it is nowhere near the calibre of other Port Douglas hotels in its class, such as the Sheraton Mirage. I got the feeling that they had done the minimum to achieve their 5-star rating. The onsite staff should be excluded from the negativity... more

Just came back from 8 nights at Sea Temple & we loved it. We were lucky enough to enjoy a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom swim out room. It proved to be perfect for 2 single friends, we basically felt like we'd moved into a luxury apartment & settled in almost immediately. There's the dining area, living room, balcony lounges and... more

Left dreary, freezing, 15 degree Melbourne and arrived 3 hours later in 31 degree paradise! Picked up rental car from Cairns airport and made the easy drive (just under an hour) to Port Douglas. Sea Temple was a little bit tricky to find - we drove in and knew it would be great. We rented a 2 bedroom apartment through... more

This resort is stunning when you first arrive. Ok if you have one of the more expensive poolside apartments with private sun loungers. For all the rest of us we are reduced to squeezing into a few metres of space trying to steal a spare lounger. There are too many people without poolside apartments for the space available. The opposite... more

Room was large, but outfitted from Home Depot. Very expensive, included nothing. Asked about late checkout, 12 noon best they could do. Did not offer to hold bags or provide a place to change. Had to put a deposit on a converter. Internet was $30 AU and bill was overcharged. There were no seats at pool for condos not connected... more
