The accommodations at Paradise Links Resort were very nice. My room was spacious and well appointed. The kitchen even gave me the opportunity to fix a few meals. I stayed here for four nights as part of a tour group. The only issue was the WiFi was limited to the area around the office.

We attempted check in (after 3pm) to find our room had not been cleaned and they could not tell us when it would be available. With young children in the car and bags of refrigerated items I asked what they could do for us while we waited. “Nothing”was the response. Since they could not provide accommodation we left to find an alternative. The booking agent agreed that our stay was cancelled without charge given the circumstances. Yet management at Paradise Links have refused to refund. I have disputed the transaction with my bank and the management have flat out lied and said we tried to check in prior to check in!! Do not stay here….

The apartment we stayed in was nice though a bit dated and the kitchenette had basic equipment though sufficient to cook most meals. As per convention now cleaning only takes place weekly, so we didn't have on for our 4 day stay. However, on stripping the bed on our last day we found it had not in fact been changed. The pools are decent though again the sun loungers are filthy as they are left out without cleaning and get wet and muddy. The resort is in a good location and is adjacent to a golf club though has no other facilities. I would say for the price it is average and would guess the cleanliness will be put down to lack of staff, which is a major issue in Port Douglas so book restaurants in advance. I await a management reply to my query about my apartment not being cleaned on arrival.
