"Good location to visit surrounding areas. We stayed in a deluxe cabin and a standard cabin for 2 nights. Comfortable room sizes. Pool could use couple more chairs or loungers for guests to use. Landscaping opportunities around the property to alleviate less mud build-up might want to be considered. Easy check-in, check out. Suggest pack food, or have a set of wheels to get to the few available restaurants."

Top Cow Bay Hotel Reviews

Bay Villas Resort

8/10 Good

"Really nice apartments, easy walk form 4mile beach and the restaurants of Port Douglas."

Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments

8/10 Good

"A lovely stay, comfortable apartment enjoyed by all guests"

Peppers Beach Club

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel was lovely. The only complaint we had was the hallways echo so every time a neighbor leaves you can hear their door slamming shut. Other than that it was a beautiful property and close to the beach!"

Regal Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent

"Place was just what we needed. Close to the beach, restaurants, shops. Room was clean, staff were helpful and we loved our balcony where we had our breakfast and after drinks."

Le Cher Du Monde

8/10 Good

"This was a beautiful little hotel. It was walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. I was looking forward to doing some laundry while here on my one night stay but the young man from the front desk had 1 of the 2 washing machines and the only dryer tied up most of the day so I was not able to get any laundry done. Even when I told him I had a short time to stay, he did not offer to let me go ahead of him and use the dryer, which takes over an hour to dry clothes. I could have stayed at the hotel for the rest of the day to get my laundry done but I wanted to get out and explore the beautiful little town and I’m hoping to do laundry at my next hotel."

Villa San Michele

10/10 Excellent

"The property was equiped very comfortable and central to shops, restaurants, cafes ,Marina and the Beach. Angie was friendly and obliging in everything and made our stay very easy. Angie booked all our activities and airport transfers."
