Is this hotel conviniently located to any attractions? We're planning to go to the Great Barrier Reef utilizing one (of many) local companies. Is this property far away from where they depart?
it is far (from downtown and the marina). Most tours depart from marina, and some do offer (paid?) buses to get you to marina
try the oceania/australia subforum for recommendations?
I stayed at a holiday apartment 3 blocks from the marina. HI wasn't that good (price/points weren't that great last itme I checked)
port douglas is another option
