Love this place

Had a wonderful stay at By the Sea Port Douglas.. we were upgraded to a suite that had everything we needed... kitchenette and laundry facilities in the room (although the washer/dryer was a challenge to operate).. great location 100 yards from the beach.. the hotel staff were delightful and very helpful.. They provided bicycles, beach towels, ice and excellent advice on dining and sightseeing. They have recently renovated the hotel so it had a new feel to it and was clean and pretty. Wifi in the room worked great. Loved it.

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

Restaurants in Port Douglas are pricey so we were happy to find the Tin Shed down on the harbor. It's located neat the park and across the parking lot from St Mary's by the Sea. A 15 minute walk from the hotel, it's a joint services club that accepts the public. We had lunch there over the water and it was very good food and reasonably priced.

Gem of a stay

Everything you have read about this hotel is true - kudos to the staff. Without the girls, my stay in Port Douglas would not have been as memorable. Sure there are fancier places but you cannot beat the service, location or value! If returning to this area I would stay here without question!

Cafe Salsa has the best food in the area. It's very hard to get a reservation so book a table after booking this hotel!

Definitely not a 5 Star hotel

Definitely not a 5 Star hotel but a perfect base from which to explore Port Douglas and surrounds. It has great facilities and Cathy is very helpful, friendly and efficient. By the Sea is clean, quiet and perfectly positioned for an easy walk to the beach or to the town CBD. Port Douglas is expensive so while the tariff may seem excessive, this is the norm for the area and you wont get better at a cheaper rate. We will definitely stay here again if we ever visit Port Douglas again and will unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone looking for this type of accommodation.

I really enjoyed my stay here

I really enjoyed my stay here . The location was perfect as it says right by the sea, and also just down the road from the shopes so it was near everthing. The staff were very friendly and were willing to help you in any way they could. I would definitely stay there again as I was travelling alone nI felt very safe there too and any trip you wanted to go on they would organise it for you so yes a good choice
