Martinique on Macrossan

This was a great place to stay in Port Douglas. The location was excellent at the end of the main street, with easy access and walking distance everywhere.|Free parking garage on site.|The room was spacious and had all the amenities needed. A plus for the safe, which doesn't seem to be standard in Australia. Some more hooks in the bathroom would be welcome though (there seems to be a universal shortage of bathroom hooks).|Great pool area, not massive, but empty (although we visited off peak).|The manager/owner at the reception was extremely friendly and helpful.|Would definitely recommend for a stay in Port Douglas.

My elderly mother has been staying at the Martinique for about 9 years now. The owners, Colin and Ken, have always been so very kind to her and looked after her very well. This year I was able to join her for a week. The hotel is wonderful: Great situation. Lovely big rooms (2 and 3 ) with everything you could need for a week’s stay. It’s a fabulous place to stay. Highly recommend it.

The apartment was conveniently located by the beach and shops. The little things that count such as an ice machine and chilled water dispenser in the common area. Plus beach chairs and beach towels were provided. The condo had everything you needed with a couple of extras in the kitchen. Managers were helpful with recommending places to visit while we were in the Port Douglas area.

Martinique on Macrossan is a truly beautiful adults-only hotel, located just a short 2-minute stroll—around 150 metres—from the beach. I would gladly recommend this hotel to any traveller looking for a peaceful and charming place to stay.||A special thank-you goes to Ken at reception, who was exceptionally helpful and professional throughout our stay. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys his work. He organised a wonderful sailing excursion for us for our honeymoon and also shared excellent dining recommendations, including great restaurant options in nearby Palm Cove.||To make our honeymoon even more memorable, he welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of champagne—a thoughtful gesture we deeply appreciated.||Thank you for helping make our stay unforgettable.

What a great place to stay! We had been sooooo looking forward to our break from Sydney’s horrid winter weather and Martinique was just perfect. Colin and Ken have created a lovely atmosphere where guests can come together and share experiences (and maybe drinks and dinner). The apartment was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and comfortable. 100% recommended, would be back there tomorrow if I could!

Great little place. 50 yards from 4 mile beach and the lively town of Port Douglas. Used the washing machine good. Parking in the shade under the building. Very nice and helpful owners highly recommended. Adults only which makes it nice and quiet.

Lovely spacious apartments for two in a small adult only complex. Very peaceful despite perfect location to access 4 mile beach and all the restaurants and bars along the high street. Really helpful ore-arrival, making recommendations and bookings for tours and restaurants.

No hesitation recommending this fantastically located, excellent stay for couples/adults. Hosts Ken and Colin could not be more accommodating, friendly, informative and helpful, whether in making bookings, recommending restaurants or helping us work the TV. Nothing is too much. We stayed in two different apartments at the Martinique over our week - it was peak season and we booked late, so moving rooms allowed us the days we wanted. Having two rooms, we can vouch how clean and well appointed the apartments are, including the lovely touches Ken and Colin offer, like warm welcoming lamps, huge comfy beds, a great kitchen and all you need for a BBQ.|These self-contained apartments are as central as they come - right on Macrossan, but just enough away from the noise. The beach is pretty much outside the gate. The pool is quiet and private. At this price point we could not believe how lucky we were to enjoy our week there during the busiest time of the year. Five stars!

My wife & I stayed here on our honeymoon in 2018. I would consider it more of a bed & breakfast (without the breakfast) than I would your traditional hotel & that's what we loved about it. We were checked into our room by the owner who had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us as a marriage gift. The hotel is close to the beach & just down the street from the main road with shops/restaurants. The hotel arranged a shuttle to pick us up at 4a for our 6a flight back in Carnes which we greatly appreciated (we hadn't been able to find anyone to pick us up so thankfully they knew a company!) 5/5 would stay here again.

This a great little hotel, with a fantastic and helpful staff. The rooms are quite spacious, and the location -- on the main strip, Macrossan -- is very good. It's a small walk -- 5 minutes or so -- to the side of Macrossan that has most of the restaurants. The only issue I had there was consistent with other Australian hotels: flaky internet. But, in comparison to other hotels, it was a steal at only $10 for the entire stay. For those who are deciding between Port Douglas and Cairns; I think Cairns is probably better for the 20's set -- more opportunities to party -- but for 30 and over the balance starts to turn over to Port Douglas.

I'm annoyed that this is even listed as a hotel when it's really not. The folks that work there are really nice but that's about it. The room was slightly outdated and was not as clean as I would have liked. I felt like it was more of a rental apt unit since they did not clean the rooms everyday and the front desk was not always available. I would say the location (close to the beach and shopping area) was pretty ideal and the price was reasonable so I would recommend this place to others if they were looking for an apt-like lodging. But for me, I wasn't all about it.
