I just got over the flu and decided to take myself away for a few days and this is where I ended up. First off, he view is to-die-for. The only thing they didn't have was a restaurant but there are heaps within walking distance. The staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they look prepared for anything that you feel up to. Beach? Deckchairs, balls, noodles ...you name it. Stopping at the pub? Ice buckets. The pool was heated and I could have stayed all day in there. I'm definitely going back!

By The Sea in Port Douglas gets our full vote:
10 out of 10 Ladies!
We arrived as strangers, and after only a week we left as friends of the owners and operators, Cathy, Wendy, Bronwyn and Olivia.
We'd never been to Port Douglas before, so we initially looked at prices and tried to find places that were recommended by others. By The Sea kept coming up in our searches, so we eventually decided to give them a try.
From the moment we arrived until the day we departed, the girls in the office helped us with everything we did in Port Douglas. They recommended and booked snorkeling tours and restaurants and gave us "local knowledge" about where to eat and what to do and see. They also provided free DVDs (after helping us choose some really good movies), and as we like to travel light, they also provided beach towels, eskys, chairs, ice, and all those little things that make your holiday easy and memorable.
Also, all of the rooms have recently been repainted and fitted with brand new, good quality furniture (carpets, beds, fridges, TVs, outdoor settings, wireless modems, etc), so we felt spoilt every day.

I highly recommend By The Sea in Port Douglas
