The front office is hardly open and has very basic amenities and food options. The apartments are quite dated and could do with a touch up. Overall quite clean though. The pool is lots of fun for kids. They request that you empty your bins and do your dishes prior to leaving.

The room was spacious, and had everything we needed. Pool area a little dated and could do with some maintenance. Overall very happy witth the Villa stay.

Port Douglas is absolutely stunning. The local area - bars, beaches, reefs and rainforest are incredible. Like lots of other reviewers have commented, the villas at Reef resort are privately owned - so it's a bit of a lottery re whether you have a well maintained or run down villa. What I liked: The pool at Reef Resort is awesome and the staff were fabulous too. I would give these elements 4 stars. What I didn't like: Our villa was quite run down, lounges were quite dirty and furnishing were very basic. No exhaust fans in the bathrooms, no oven, no basic supplies like a cutting board! I would give our villa 2 stars. So overall 3 stars for a mixed experience.

Nice stay. Very comfortable except for the pull out bed! Way too small.

We had an awesome stay here. The girls lace was spotless. The surroundings were clean and quiet. We had some maintenance issue with one of the light switch, which when mentioned to the receptionist, was tended to very promptly. My only qualm is that the restaurant on the premises had absolutely no vegetarian options on the menu except for chips. Not even a Margherita pizza, in their pizza menu.

Great location in Port Douglas. I think some of the villas can be hit or miss, but our Coral villa was nice for a family of four. I did miss an instruction on how to use the microwave/oven/airfryer... but details. Great to have the option to wash and dry clothes. Pool was really great!

Reef Resort Villas is an excellent place to stay in Port Douglas. The Villas are large (two bedroom), clean, self-contained (including two bathrooms and a well equipped laundry) and have a 'wow factor'. Everything required was provided in a fully equipped kitchen; the lounge was comfortably furnished and included a large screen smart TV and excellent Audio system; and the beds were comfortable with good linen. Staff at reception were most helpful. The grounds were pleasant and included a beautiful pool. An on-call shuttle (5-7 minute delay between calling and arrival) service was cost effective to travel to- and from- town, where all necessary shops, cafes and restaurants were available. Tour operators pick you up from your door. That the Villa was not serviced daily was not an issue, and the 'Restaurant' on site is more a limited-range cafe. Food was available by delivery, but with the excellent kitchen, buying groceries and cooking for yourself works well. For excellent dining options, two restaurants in Port Douglas stand out: Salsa and Melaleuca, both on Wharf Street. Both these offer fine food and service, but while prices were at the top end, they were not excessive. The best coffee in Part Douglas is from Origin Espresso on Grant Street. You will really enjoy Port Douglas and a stay with Reef Villas Resort.

We stayed for 1 night and enjoyed ourselves. The pool area was great, and the restaurant produced nice food. I thought the rooms were a great set up, and was nice to have seperate rooms for the kids. That being said, the lounges are tiny and not comfortable. The gym is sub par and felt the reception could be more friendly. When we arrived, the staff continued their personal conversation instead of greeting us. We stood there for an uncomfortable time before we were acknowledged. The same happened again the next morning when we went to reception to get a gym pass. The lady spent far too long talking to staff about a document. Surely, if they were customer service orientated, she would have told her staff to hold on for a second while she asked us what we needed... I actually had to jump in after a few minutes, and say "I dont mean to be rude, but we are just chasing a gym pass...". I then felt she hesitated to give it to is, considering we were checking out later that day. The wifi is also unreasonable. 2gb a day. And its slow. I turned it off and found normal reception faster. Overall, its nice enough, and we'd stay there again if the price stays competitive.

We stayed for just one night. Pool was amazing loved it. Our apartment could have done with a makeover. Very old inside, broken things, not working, very little hot water, door missing. But the beds where comfy and the upstairs bathroom had been done up.

We stayed in Villa 43 and it was perfect. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, covered parking, laundry and two outdoor sitting areas. The pool area is absolutely incredible. We arrived after reception closed but we just called the number uding the phone on the wall and they gave us the code to the lock box that had an envelope with our keys and all the resort information. I will definitely stay here again.

I thought the facilities and staff were great but the the viilla we stayed in was a little run down. It needed fly screens on the window and sliding doors. We really couldn't use the back ofviur villa at all.
