Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort and Spa

Wonderful resort with huge connecting pools, a swim up bar, spa and excellent restaurant. Our room is clean and very spacious with two bedrooms, a large living room, full open-style kitchen and 2 bathrooms. It also has a nice outside space with seating in the shade and our suite overlooks one end of the pool. The open air restaurant is casual but nice. The service is excellent and the food delicious. We have enjoyed it several times for breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner. The breakfast buffet has everything you’d want. Lunch was delicious. We had wonderful salmon avocado bowls, fried chicken and salad with grilled chicken…. Daniela, the Manager and Clara are genuinely friendly and very professional. I am in the hotel business (ownership) and know great people when I see them. The hotel is located a short 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute drive to the marina will take you out on the reef for snorkeling and diving. We liked Wavelength Reef Cruises best.

Stayed 5nights here and wish we could have stayed longer! We truly relaxed and had such an amazing time enjoying the pool, buffet breakfast each day, onsite restaurant and bar and the day spa. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The resort was quiet and we couldn't hear a noise outside when we were in our room. Bed was very comfortable, ensuring we slept perfectly each night. Would highly recommend staying here whether a couple or family.

Best holiday ever!! Super relaxing, beautiful resort. We felt like we could stay forever. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The property is well laid out to provide privacy. The private pool was my haven every day We enjoyed a delightful dinner at Aluco of steaks and sorbet. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We loved our stay at the resort. Beautiful views, wonderful staff especially Maria at reception she was very welcoming, helpful and friendly also Daniella’s service at the restaurant was excellent and super nice. The pool is amazing and so beautiful but unfortunately 95% of pool lights not working dark at night. I guess the maintenance team need to do more to keep lights on. Bbq at penthouse not working. We will be again for sure overall the place is amazing.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom penthouse apartment through a private Company, not directly booked from Pullman. The pool and spa were perfect, one of the best I have ever experienced. Overall, we had a very nice and relaxing holiday and we will definitely go back. I hope apartments will get renovated for our next trip.

Beautiful gardens and pool, our room was nice but cleaning during our five night stay was non-existent. The towels were changed and the bed was pulled up and tucked back in and that was it. There was no replenishment of coffee, tea, etc but it was provided if you asked for it. The wi fi in our room did not work at all and we were subsequently provided with a dongle which worked well. Gina at the front desk was fantastic and very helpful. Our package included breakfast which was nice but not anything special. We didn’t eat an evening meal in the restaurant as it seemed quite expensive and the menu was very limited. We did however attend a wedding while we were there and the wedding food was excellent. It was always a long wait to get served at the pool bar as there was only ever one person on duty who also had to make cocktails. Two people are definitely required. Our room had a small outdoor area. When we arrived there was quite a bit of leaf litter laying around and it wasn't cleaned while we were there. 5 star? Only just I think.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at the Sea Temple. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this hotel is not deserving of its so-called 5-star status. I was “upgraded” to a room with an outdoor bath—nice in theory, but the bath didn’t even work. The lack of basic amenities was astonishing. No minibar, no readily available towels (poolside towels are non-existent unless you trek through the restaurant to get one), and heaven forbid you need more than one towel if you’re travelling with kids. When I asked for a bottle of water at checkout, the manager informed me that water is only provided on arrival. I was further shocked when I tried to buy water from the bar, only to be told they don’t sell it and the only water they have is the same “free” water given at check-in. How is this a luxury hotel if they can’t even provide or sell water? The buffet was another letdown. For the price, it’s nothing more than a basic continental breakfast with the option of eggs. Certainly not what you’d expect from a 5-star resort. The rooms are tiny and tired, with absolutely no sense of luxury. Yes, the pool is nice—but pools like this are a dime a dozen. There are better, more spacious options in countless other destinations. For the money spent here, you’re far better off flying to Bali or Thailand, where actual luxury and value for money go hand in hand. At best, this is a mediocre 3-star resort charging 5-star prices. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere.

Our family have had the best experience here, the staff in the morning at the restaurant were so lovely but the Pool bar gentleman ‘Javier’needs a special mention. |His customer service is amazing as is his attention to detail. I also noticed he is very particular about what he does and does so with a smile. ||He is very warming and I noticed most people at the pool love to say hello to him and have a quick chat. |A+++ for customer service. ||Thank you Javier,||From Michelle and family

I was impressed with this place. Stayed for three nights while on a huge group trip and loved the spacious rooms they felt more like an apartment than a hotel. Huge, expansive fully stocked kitchen with two bedrooms, a large lounging room, a bathroom, a large balcony with spiral stairs leading up to the shared rooftop area with a jacuzzi. Awesome! These rooms also have laundry available for free with all the amenities to do laundry you need. This was amazing bc I had a full bag of things I needed to wash for the rest of my trip as well as some tennis shoes I washed. The resort is stunning - based around a huge shared pool that branches off from the main lobby and has "fingers" that go left to right with first floor rooms that allow pool access and water views. This place embraces nature (of course) and has active breeding of birds and lizards and such in the garden spaces. If you are a family of people on vacation this is a wonderful spot to stay as it feels like home away from home with fully stocked apartments for use as well as garages and parking. To be clear - it's not 4-5 stars - more like 3.5 as the food and service level is nowhere near 4-5 star level. But it is comfortable and pretty and convenient to the Great Barrier Reef if that is why you're here.

To be very honest with you, the resort is ok. If anything, it's mediocre at its best, but we must never settle for mediocrity. Nothing is terrific enough for me to form a positive opinion. Vice versa, nothing is terrible enough for me to form a negative opinion. Like it's just ok. The pool is big, that's about it. The room comes with all utilities, though they are old and worn out. One of the light bulbs even went out. The beds, especially the pillows are really uncomfortable. I am literally suffering from so much back pain right now as I am writing this. The WiFi speed is somewhat below the acceptable standard. The staff is cool; they aren't exceedingly amazing, but they are fine. The Vie spa was quite a bit of a let down to be very honest. I did the Heaven On Earth treatment. The treatment includes a massage, a facial, a scrub, and a foot therapy thing. The massage was not great. The masseuse seemed tired and legit did not assert any pressure on any parts of my body. The facial was good though. My face was left fairly soft afterwards. The masseuse had very little attention to detail. I more or less had to lay the massage bed out myself. The warm pocket for my foot was also not properly put on for me, leaving one of my foot half out. For more or less the same price, you can probably go to resorts in Thailand, Bahamas, Phuket, that provide much better service, leaving you more satisfied and happy. To sum it all up, the entire experience was meh. Factoring in the price you're paying, don't really know if the the trip was worth my time.

This was definitely a resort with many WOW factors. To register, you approach the open air reception desk with friendly staff. The ambiance and plantings are very tropical in this area with comfortably grouped seating areas. There are two stories of rooms, but all of the accommodations are situated around lagoon style pools that wend their way around the property. Just walking to your room is a relaxing experience. Our room was clean with a huge bathroom, including a hot tub! There was plenty of room and a comfortable bed with sliding doors leading to a small patio overlooking the pool. When we checked in, I was a little worried about crazy pool parties late at night, but it was actually quiet during the late evening time. The fitness center was fantastic! There were two small rooms, one with up-to-date treadmills and elliptical machines; the other had weight machines and a wonderful assortment of free weights. These spaces were modern and very clean. During our 3 night stay, we ate breakfast everyday in the beautiful dining room. The food was traditional breakfast fare, but the room was open to the air and near the pool, so quite a nice place to linger over a last cup of coffee or tea before starting the day.

Pullman Sea Temple Port Douglas features a stunning 3000m2 lagoon style pool in the centre of the resort. You can swim around the resort or simply relax with a cocktail in your hand. The pool and bar areas are the centrepoint of this resort. But there are other options. The rooms are big and some have their own private plunge pool. Water temp is a little chilli June - October. Take a walk along the beautiful Four Mile Beach or get a treatment at Vie Spa - it's all up to you. For lunch or dinner they have a nice cuisine at AQUA Restaurant. It's not that far out of the township so take a local bus or taxi to the village of Port Douglas or hop on a sea tour and explore the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.

Amazing Resort!! Stayed for 3 nights in December. Upgraded to plunge pool apartment at check in. Dined each day for breakfast, great food and plenty of it. Not so keen on the pancakes however (if I am going to be picky). Pool was great and we utilized both the lagoon pool and our private pool. We also had room service and the food was delicious and timely. Service was really good. Bit of a hiccup on the bill on check out, built quickly rectified with no issue. The best thing about the stay though the bed!! Both the pillows and bed were so comfy that I didn't want to get up each morning. All in all awesome stay!

The Sea Temple Port Douglas is stunning. My husband and I have been to Port Douglas 3 times to celebrate anniversaries. The last time we stayed at the Sea Temple Port Douglas resort and were totally blown away. We had a 2 bedroom plunge pool apartment which was spacious, modern and private. Next time I would stay in one of the swim out apartments though as the plunge pool apartments are around the edge of the resort and you don't get to enjoy the full resort atmosphere as much as you do with the swim out apartments which open onto the beautiful lagoon pool. The restaurant buffet breakfast was delicious and the one dinner we had there was divine. The beach is only a two minute walk away and town is about a 10 minute drive although there were a couple of local restaurants within walking distance. The day spa there is expensive but absolutely worth it...... stunning! I would actually recommend the Sea Temple to families as well as couples as the apartments are self catering. Loved, loved, loved the Sea Temple. Can't wait to go back!
