“Exceeded our expectations.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

A first class hotel, well located for local shops/bars/ beach etc. Sheryn, Phil and all the staff were friendly, efficient and ready to help with any query we had.The room facilities were excellent, comfortable bed, pleasant sitting area,well stocked kitchenette and even a dishwasher. Breakfasts were a delight with well cooked food and plenty of choice and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Should we return to Port Douglas the Peninsula Hotel will be our our first choice for accommodation.

“So good we came back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I love this place! Having stayed in 2010, there was no other option when we knew we would be in Port Douglas during January 2012,it HAD to be the Peninsula or nothing!!!
Beautiful location,beautiful rooms,great service and food,and the type of attention to detail not often found at other establishments. Great to see welcoming,familiar faces again,and my only regret is....that we couldn't have stayed longer!!!!

Dear susiebates,
I guess one of the ultimate compliments any hotel can enjoy are guests that look forward to coming back. Your glowing review for your second visit certainly assures us that we are on the right track to help guests feel spoilt and welcome. It is so nice for us to also see familiar faces walk back through the door - we often even remember the things you like to eat, do and see! One of the rewarding parts of Hotel life.
Please be sure to contact us directly for your next visit susiebates so we can offer you extra special return guest deals and surprises!

“Best hotel in the world”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff were so very friendly and helpful. The personal touch was evident in everything they did. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. We went for a walk on Christmas day, and when we got back there was a wrapped present waiting for us on the kitchenette counter. Little things like that are really touching. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Room Tip: Ask for an ocean view

“Excellent hotel and location!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Sheryn and Phil were excellent..always trying to accommodate with requests and helping out. I, in particular, remember their help with my internet service and they even waived the internet charge for the entire 4 day stay as it was a bad connection for just 1 particular day. I would highly recommend this hotel and stay there on my next visit. Courteous staff and good breakfast. Excellent location, right on the beach.

Room Tip: choose sea view suite on the first floor

Dear Hasnain_12,
Anything that we can do to help our guests have a great stay, we certainly endeavour to assist. Your room tip about Ocean view ground floor is requested by many guests as you can walk straight off your spacious wooden deck over to the beach. Some prefer the upper levels that have a private spacious balcony that also enjoys the ocean views and sea breezes. Either way, helpful staff and a lovely view are two things we strive to always achieve.
Thanks you Hasnain_12 for your time to review your stay with us.
Kind Regards,
Peninsula Boutique Hotel Staff and Management

“A-great stay with great hosts”

The location, staff, cleanliness and overall ambience would be hard to beat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Everything from breakfast to our late dinner for the curry night was perfect. Can't praise this hotel enough. Small and personal. Staff are amazingly warm unlike some of the bigger places we've stayed at. Beach across the road but also a beautiful small pool on the property. We will definitely be back one day.

Dear Muffinb21,
You have summarized for us the exact reasons why a Boutique Hotel experience can offer so many extras and service that some of the larger Hotels just cant. Attentive service but not intrusive. Ready to assist in any way we can or disappear if it is privacy that you seek. We get to know our guests by name - are not "room numbers" to us. We can tailor your stay with us to exactly how you dream your holiday to be.
Thank you for such a lovely review and we do hope to welcome you once again soon.
