We recently stayed in a 2 bedroom self contained apartment within the Ramada Complex. Accommodation was well appointed, having everything you could ask for (except laundry - however there is a coin operated one within the complex). The only complaint regarding the accommodation was that we had an issue with tiny ants - everthing had to be put away. The apartment was spacious - master bedroom well and truly oversized with decent ensuite. We dined at the restaurant one night - which was great value for money as we dined early and received an early bird discount. Restautant staff were very attentive and friendly.
Check in / check out process was efficient. Generally most staff we come into contact with were helpful - unfortunately one of the male receptionists let the team down - he just isn't cut out for hospitality. Apart from him, a very enjoyable stay and would thorougly recommend this resort.
They do have pushbikes for hire and a shuttle bus into town (there is a fee) - however I would recommend hiring a car in Cairns (see my review on Apex Car Hire - cheap and cheerful).

We stayed here for three nights for my brothers wedding. The restaurant was lovely and you just can't beat an all you can eat buffet breakfast. My husband and I stayed in a standard basic room. Two single beds pushed together to make a king size which doesn't really bother me but it was more noticable than other places I've stayed at. Its changed hands in the past few months and I'm not sure if the place feels a little run down because the old managment left it that way or because the new managment have let it get that way. There was construction going on in rooms adjoining ours which got a bit noisy. But considering someone else paid for us I'm not going to complain. It's too far from Port Douglas to walk into town (unless you're really into walking) but there is shuttle buses that run very regularly if you don't mind paying $4 each way. Very easy access to the beach and there is a very nice pool.
