Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a swim out room which was a great feature after a long day sightseeing. Close enough to downtown to get there quickly & easily. Far enough out to escape the crowds when it's time to wind down. You might get to meet the best concierge ever. Ritz Kelly is welcoming, informative & downright hilarious. She took care of everything for us. Great place for a family stay

I LOVED this place. One of the best hotels I've stayed at. It was easy to get to, smelt beautiful, it was clean and the staff were lovely. The grounds are just so beautiful too. I stayed in the swim out room and it was amazing. Even though it was a hotel room, there was a fridge with some cutlery and a little sink and microwave which is perfect. The pool set up was amazing. I can't wait to go again

Brilliant stay. My friend and I had a 2 bed apartment on the first floor. Well kitted out kitchen including washing machine and tumble dryer. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful from the moment we arrived. Loved the swimming pool! Loved the bus that we could use (we just needed to call them up for pick ups throughout the day for just $7 a day.

This is the 5th time we have stayed here and was slightly disappointed with this visit. I had asked a couple weeks out if there were any 3 bedroom swimout apartments we could upgrade from a 2 bedroom swimout as we now had another friend coming up for a few days of our trip. I was told there wasn’t so then asked if one of the king beds in one of the rooms could be split instead, which it was. When we arrived and got to the room, we discovered that there was a sofa bed in another closed off area in the kitchen which could have been made up so all 3 of us could have had a separate room. Also upon checking in we were not told that the room did not have a clothes dryer or that there was a guest laundry we could have used instead, with the humidity it can be harder to dry things and all had to pack damp clothes in our luggage to go home, I did mention this at checkout and was told it was getting replaced this week. These are just small things but usually we can’t fault the place and is why we keep coming back. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially Jen on reception. Hopefully this was just a one off experience as we do love staying here.

The reception staff were incredibly accomodating with everything. From organising early check in to arranging the local shuttle bus and booking trips and experiences whilst we were here. The rooms were spacious and equipped with everything you needed. The bbq area was great especially for families. The shuttle bus is a must if you don’t hire a car as the main town is a fair walk especially in the heat.

We stayed here for 11 nights in an apartment on the 3rd floor. Lifts are available. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. The apartments are a good size and well furnished. All the necessary equipment is available for self-catering. The upper level apartments all have a balcony which looks inward and overlooks the many swimming pools in the centre of the resort. The pools are well maintained and those on the shaded side are slightly warmed. Staff were friendly and helpful, particularly, Shannae, who assisted us on a number of occasions. There is mainly undercover parking on the resort perimeter, although parking spots can be difficult to find on returning later in the evening. There are a few restaurants and a Fish and Chip shop within walking distance of the resort. A shuttle bus service at a cost is available in Port Douglas, but having a vehicle when staying at resorts away from the town centre is well worthwhile.

As you walk into the Silkari Lagoons reception there is a very strong musty smell. This could be from the 20 year old lounge suites sitting there that doesnt match with the other lounges OR that the front reception area is in desperate need of an upgrade. Would have been nice to see prior to booking that this hotel is not serviced IE no cleaning of room or making beds, new towels etc Pool area NOT great needs updating again and the rooms pretty YUK to be honest must be 20-30 years since they have been updated. Wont be coming back again. PS the lift is filthy and so are all the common areas around lifts and whats with the random park bench next to the two horrible old lounges near the lift???

Hi Lee, Thankyou for taking the time to review the Resort. I am sorry that the Resort did not meet your expectations on this occasion. As the Resort is in a tropical environment the tropical indoor odours are somewhat difficult to keep at bay. The Resort permanently runs the air-conditioning in the guest rooms and apartments to assist reduce the affects of the humidity in the such a tropical environment. Naturally this affects all of our indoor areas, such as reception. However, as reception is manned between the hours of 7am to 7pm we do turn off the aircon outside of these hours, in an attempt to reduce our carbon footprint. As you would understand this is something the Resort needs to balance. As you rightly refer to, the Resort is a limited service Resort, with servicing every 8th day of your stay. I am sorry you were unaware of this at the time of booking. The Resort closed in February 2022 and completed a $300,000 refurbishment of the pool areas. I am disappointed that you didn't enjoy this newly refurbished area. I will pass on your feedback to the team at the Resort so we may ever improve our service and offering. We thank you for taking the time to review the Resort. Kind Regards Jason Cook Director of Sales and Marketing.

Loved it. Everything you needed. The only thing is no cafe which I think would do extremely well as it’s a bit out of the main centre. We were told to use the hotel next door but no one informed us of the discount till the very last day. Other than that loved the fact you have a lot of pools. The room was fresh etc, though I would’ve like a freshen up mid week. Staff were nice. We stayed 7 nights.

Honestly, Silkari Lagooms was 10 outta 10 I stayed 3 nights in the 2 bedroom swimout apartment (loved it) I stayed on the sunny side (2 story side) and the water was perfect the whole time Amazing apartment, very clean and beautifully set out. I stayed 2 nights in the private pool apartment which also has a spa. Same layout and amazing also (Pool was too cold) but am glad I stayed in both. When I go back I will def stay in the swimout again.. From check in to check out was fantastic Lady on check in was so amazing (forgot her name) and checked us in early. Emily and bossman on departure where fantastic... Great service, great staff and the resort was so spotless and well kept. Ive stayed in fancier resorts and this one actually tops them all and the price was great...cheaper than the expesive resorts and felt so relaxed everyday we were there. See you next time Silkari Port Douglas Jodie
