After reading so many bad reviews about this hotel before my arrival I was very nervous about the rooms, however I think they are not quite as bad a portrayed by some. The rooms are nice and large and are clean, but there it ends. There is a musty smell and yes they could do with new carpets and decor.... more

The Port Douglas appears to be an awesome resort....until you actually stay there. Big picture...the hotel looks great; the pools/lagoons add a fun ambience. The main problem is that everything looks fantastic until you actually go to use it. All of the small problems with this resort add up to one big inconvenience when you’re on vacation. First off the... more

Words can hardly describe how much we enjoyed our holiday to the beautiful town of Port Douglas. It was great from the moment we left Cairns - the drive to Port Douglas is breathtaking, as you wind along the road that runs next to the ocean up the coastline. On arriving at the Mirage, we were greeted by a friendly... more

We stayed in this hotel with family and children, in the lagoon-fronted rooms. The grounds are big and spacious, though it is a pity that there is only one, quite small, fresh water pool. It seems that during our stay every other guest preferred to spend time there leading to overcrowding. The walk to the beach is not long, though... more

A lot of reviewers in here bag this place. I just completed my fourth stay in 10 years and feel that it is still great. Ok it may not look classy to modern tastes but it is simply a beautiful location and the resort is a true resort. Each time I have stayed I have rented a villa much better... more

This property is expensive, and as far as look and amenities, I don't believe it's worth it, but the location is very convenient to many activities. There are lagoon pools thoroughout the property, I stayed in a lagoon suite and was able to just jump in from my room at my leisure. This was very relaxing and one of the... more

My family and I went there recently and we would definitely go back because of the location, people, and great pools. I can't really comment on the prices/value, because we stayed with points and didn't eat at the hotel at all, but it is an ideal location for all kinds of activities: rainforest, reef, tablelands, Queensland outback, etc. here are... more

LOCATION: Very convenient location. Built behind the 4 Mile Beach. Approx 20min walk to town and 15min walk to the marina. ROOMS: We stayed at the lagoon view room and if we wanted to we could just jump out of our balcony into the lagoon pool SERVICE: The staff were helpful and professional FOOD: Expensive This hotel is 5-star because... more

Just got back from the Mirage on 15 year anniversary. Stayed there on our honeymoon and it looks if hasn't been renovated since. The rooms are now very average for a 5 star hotel. We had a deluxe garden view overlooking one of the small lagoons. Lounge chairs were covered in mould and the pool has lost that spectacular blue... more
