“We Loved It”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We got an excellent dinner, bed and breakfast package here which made it such a good deal. The pool was excellent, nice and deep and I love those lagoon-style pools set in tropical gardens like this one. The restaurant was lovely and had indoor and outdoor seating.

We found the staff great and the hotel had the atmosphere of a small family-run hotel.

The room was good, nothing sumptious but clean and everything worked, It was on a level of other higher-priced corporate hotels I have stayed at.

From the hotel it was an leisurely walk into town or you could take the public bus from a bus stop very handy to the hotel.

“FIG TREE LODGE IS HORRIFIC”

FIG TREE LODGE IS HORRIFIC

W/o question the worst hotel/lodge of any I've stayed in over 20 years and nearly 80 countries of travel. They are cutting corners all over the place: nobody answer front desk phone at night/morning, told to get ice from bar downstairs, refrigerators w/ warm setting locked in place; old fans/appliances, and not a great location.

GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

“Great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2009

Nice apartment. Travelled with a friend, while a little away from the main area nice location. Staff were very friendly & organised activities for us. Irish Bar was good for a relaxing evening. Nice food served in a nice atmosphere.

“Cozy Little Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2009

person found this review helpful

We didn't want to stay down on the Esplanade so we were happy with the location though it is a little out of the way. It has a nice pool area and a great Irish Pub with some excellent food and beer choices. The staff there were really great and we were especially impressed with Dave who worked in the pub. We took cabs when we wanted to go to Kuridia and booked transportation to Port Douglas for a great snorkeling cruise. Not really expensive at all. Had a lovely time and wil visit here again.

“Nice but not well located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2009

This hotel is located between the airport and downtown (10 minutes max).
Rooms are standard but noisy mainly because of the road.
The staff s really nice and available. They booked us a fabulous cruise to the reef.

Breackfast is also good.
