Even before we arrived, we were contacted by the girls introducing themselves and asking if there was anything we needed.
We arrived at By The Sea at midnight, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we wanted to stay longer. It is the most friendliest welcoming hotel you can wish to visit.
There are so many extras for you to use free of charge, deck chairs, bikes, cool boxes, ice packs, inflatables - I could go on and on but so many things to list.

I was travelling with my family and this was the last stop on their holiday so wanted something comfortable near the beach/shops and some quiet and privacy and this ticked all the boxes. Nice helpful family who own the apartments and nothing much more to add apart from it was a really great 5 night stay there

We enjoyed our stay at the Lagoons. Very friendly staff. We had a family room, the kitchen was well stocked, spacious family area with sofa and large flatscreen TV. The porch area has table and chairs leading onto private loungers divided by a safey fence. There are two bbq areas poolside in the centre concourse which are well maintained and equipped - we used these a few times. The pool is also good which the kids loved.

We stayed here in a two bedroom apartment for four nights in early July and found the whole experience to be excellent. The location is fantastic, close to the supermarket and every other shop or restaurant you might need and walking distance from almost everything else (trips to Great Barrier Reef and beach, etc). The apartments are well equipped with everything required and the bathrooms are great. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. All in all, a very successful stay...

Amazing property and facilities and staff are lovely. Lots of restaurants, shops and rhings to do within walking distance. Close to the marina and easy to book tours nearby.

We had a lovely stay, the location in port douglas was perfect with a nice walk to town. The staff were extremely helpful. The apartment was very spacious on 2 levels and perfect for 2 adults and an infant.

Room was clean, pool areas were clean (pool itself had quite a few leaves etc but the weather was windy and we understand it's difficult to keep on top). Location is fantastic, so close to the main strip for shops, bars and restaurants, but tucked away enough that it's quiet and calm.
Reception staff were incredible, friendly and informative.
We will 100% stay here again

Excellent location to beach shops and restaurants. Great centre for the GBR and rain forests. Hotel stay was made perfect by Nickki who could not have been more helpful.
Quality exceptional. A proper 5 star experience.

What is an aparthotel?
Aparthotels offer the space and privacy found in an apartment and amenities you expect in a traditional hotel. These apartments will often be located centrally in Forest Creek, where you can connect with locals. Enjoy cooking in a fully equipped kitchen and having extra space to spread out while you're in town.
