Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was nice, rooms were large and clean. Lots of pools to swim in. Staff were helpful. As an American, we were unaware that although the hotel is right on the beach - you can not swim in the ocean due to crocodiles. A very convenient location to do all the day excursions around the area. Overall, a great trip !"

"The couple that run this property are very quick at communicating. They are very helpful with anything you need. The best thing about this property is the location. It is right in the middle of all the restaurants and shops. It’s a 5 min walk to the marina and waterfront. It was perfect! The air conditioning didn’t work very well. Thankfully we had good weather and kept the patio door open. I would definitely stay here if you do not have a car. I’d stay here again as it was the perfect location in Port Douglas."

"Excellent location. two minute walk to the beach and on the same street as all the restaurants and shops. Our room was super clean when we arrived and I was pleasantly surprised that there was a wand in the shower. The staff were so very friendly and helpful. My only negative comment would be that there are no electrical outlets by the night stands (at least in our room). We had to run an extension cord from the other side of the room to the night stand so that I could use my cpap machine for sleeping. Otherwise, everything was great."
