The Mediterranean Port Douglas

We stayed at the The Mediterranean Port Douglas for 7 nights in October 2021. We are a blended family of 4 with a 14yo boy and 12 yo girl. We all absolutely loved this place. We had a 3BR room apartment which is at the rear of the resort and it was really quiet and so well equiped. So much so that it was like a home away from home. The 3BR were lovely with 2 queen beds and another room with 2 singles. The second room with the queen bed had a huge walk in wardrobe and all other rooms has built in robes and the main bedroom had an ensuite which was huge. The kitchen was amazing with every utensil you could think of, microwave and enough pots and pans to cook meals for the family. We also made good use of the poolside bbq and had a few dinners poolside - heavenly! The pool was lovely and Miss 12, who has stayed in many places, said this was the best pool she's ever been in so that is a statement. Mr 14 made full use of the many paths and quiet roads around Port Douglas and skateboarded everywhere. Both children were up early and out and about, the place was so safe and friendly and they both felt comfortable doing this. 4 mile beach is within walking distance, especially if you love walking which we do. We also had a hire car, so a quick 5 minutes trip into the main street was no issue whatsoever. We loved the location in that it wasn't directly in town and this added to the relaxed vibe we felt here. Craig the manager was very helpful and friendly, always saying hello to us and making sure we were ok. I can see other reviews that aren't 5 star, but every person has different wants and needs for a holiday destination. We have all travelled extensively and stayed at 5 star places and camped and roughed it and found that The Mediterranean really had EVERYTHING we could need as a family of 4. We ate in Port Douglas, did the markets, a reef trip, walked all over town, 4 mile beach, Kuranda, Cairns, Mossman Gorge and a few days just poolside. The room had internet access and a smart TV which we could log into Netflix with. All in all, this was the perfect place, perfect location and perfect family holiday. We will be back!
