The place was in a great location. Near four mile beach and walking distance to the town. Floor was dirty when we arrived, but there was a broom and dust pan in the unit so took care of that. The pool was lovely and the laundry was free! They provided detergent and the dishes/ hot plate worked great

Great 4star apartments, with full kitchens/amenities, 2 separate pools. Bay Villas is located really close to the main shopping/eats street - great cheap shuttle service pick-up/drop off at your leisure. The staff at Bay Villas were SO friendly & helpful-incl. ongoing communication prior to our arrival, suggestions/arrangements for activities whilst visiting, and easy a/h checkin - which all made our holiday easy, seamless & stress free.
SO glad we chose this resort over the billions of others avail in Port Douglas.

Underwhelming
A little bit far to walk to main part of town. Well overdue for a refurbish. Walk ups to most units. Parking reasonable but tight. Stove top is portable and was on a high shelf and not clean, other dishes not clean. Overpriced for what you got. Staff were great, nice pool.

Nice place for a short break
Nice apartment in a good central location ... only 10 minutes from the main street in Port Douglas. Lovely welcome from the receptionist, Rhian, who gives a great first impression. Nice swimming pools, although could do with some umbrellas over lounges for some shade. Balcony area was dirty and therefore not inviting. Overall a good stay though.
