Guidebook gave me different expectations
I chose this hotel based on the 2009 Frommer’s guide which described this hotel as the nicest resort in the area and it had recently undergone extensive remodeling. The price in the guidebook was much higher than I paid through Expedia, so perhaps my rate got me the un-remodeled part of the hotel. Let’s just say it would have been luxurious when I was a kid, many years ago. However, I would stay there again. The rate was good and I was only in the room to sleep--too many other things to do in the tropical-paradise area. I did not eat at the hotel at all--the prices seemed high. The guidebook was right about its recommended restaurants in Port Douglas.
Traveller's tip on dining
Salsa was a recommended restaurant and very worth it. Was probably the best meal I enjoyed on my trip. But you must make a reservation. I could not get in there the first day I tried. Also, the Port O Call bar/restaurant in the hostel-like community of the same name was recommended as good food/good value, and I would agree.

Impressive resort on an unspoiled beach
The Mirage resort occupies a 130 hectares on Four Mile beach just to the south of the town of Port Douglas. The hotel and all the grounds are well maintained and the swimming pools surround all the buildings. All facilities are up to standard for a five star resort and we were very impressed. Two tips: If you take a walk along the beach either into town or just for exercise make a careful note of the location of the hotel pathway, it is difficult to find along a beach with no landmarks; Check your credit card slip at checkout, they have a habit of carrying out currency conversion for you without saying they have done so.
Traveller's tip on recreational activities
Outer Reef trip is a must but don’t book ahead. Wait for a suitable weather forecast (lighter winds, lower tides and smoother seas) to get the best visibility
