Wonderful spot.

Just returned from our second stay at Silkari Lagoons. A lovely place to stay. Friendly and accommodating staff. Loved the swim out rooms. Staff were very prompt when things needed attention. A great stay. Will be back again.

Nice place to stay

Resort staff are friendly, beach is close and rooms are clean although a little out dated.
The only real let down is Silkari doesn't have a restaurant or room service, however there are a couple options near by.

Easy

Great service from the staff with very clean amenities. Food and drinks close by. Bus into town was quick and efficient during a busy period.
Only small issue in the room we stayed the carpet in the 2bd apartment could do with a clean and up date. Beds / pillows comfortable. Shower in studio needs a deeper clean. Generally just needs a little refresh.

Value for money

Pool area - when swimming in the pool area, it feels like invading privacy of the people who stayed in the swim out rooms on the ground floor.

Rooms - Towels good be changed at least 2x per week, instead changing them on request.

Staff - excellent, friendly and very professional.

Parking - each room should be allocated a parking spot. Sometimes it was difficult to find parking, had to park on the opposite side of the room, on the other side of the resort/hotel.

Ideal Family Holiday

From the moment we arrived, the reception service was wonderful.

We enjoyed a 3 bedroom accommodation that backed straight onto a warm salt swimming pool. Every morning and every afternoon our children swam to their hearts content. Cooking facilities made the stay comfortable, as did having the resort next door for dining options.

We particularly enjoyed walking each morning along the beach to the Kai for take away coffee (they also do fantastic value tasty breakfast too).

Would be great place to take the family.

We stayed in a hotel balcony spa room. Loved the spa but be aware that all the rooms face one another so privacy not great. Pools and grounds beautiful but if you're looking for a quiet place to stay probably this would not suit. I think an apartment would be a better choice.
Hire a car and all restaurants are within easy reach.

Nice place to stay

Nice two bedroom apartment. Loved the easy access to the pool. Clean place very tidy. Not too far to drive for everything.
There is no restaurant in the resort. But there is restaurants up in town. Our room didnt get any fresh linen all week(7 days). No mid week service to the room. Very noisy aircon in loungeroom(yes it was reported).
Nice and quiet rooms. Enjoyed my stay overall.

Accommodation

The unit was nice, with plenty of room. The maintenance man could probably spend a few hours in there fixing a few minor issues. If they spent $100 on new kitchen ware (plates, bowls, glasses, ect) it would be nice and make a big difference. We were in a swim out room and noticed quiet a few people who were not in swim out rooms just step around the fence and use other rooms balcony and sun lounges, this probably needs attention as people pay more for that privilege. Over I would stay there again, but if they fail to spend any money on the resort it will be very down within a few years.

Clean tidy but not comfy

Clean, tidy and great set up with pool access.

The double bed was so uncomfortable and small my husband and I ended up taking a single bed each. These were comfy!

The pool was way too warm to enjoy, not at all refreshing.
However, with so many adventures and swimming options in the Port Douglas area, we didn't spend too much time in our room, and it provided what we needed during our stay.

Room was very clean. Loved the swim out room. Staff were friendly and informative.

Airing rack was changed to a new one when a request was made as current one was broken.
Visitors should be aware that the town of Port Douglas is a good 15 minute drive from Silkari Lagoons and if you don't have your own car taxi fares amount to a substantial cost each day.

great value - excellent service

The Silkari was a great place to stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Initially when we arrived we were travelling with my sister and her husband and their room was at the other end of the hotel. We asked if we could be moved closer together and the manager ended up putting us all in a two bedroom two bathroom apartment. It was wonderful. it made our holiday really special. We had everything we needed, only a short walk on the beach into town and shuttle buses were always available. We would definitely stay again

Good place to stay

We had a swim-out room. Fantastic idea. School holidays might be a bit of a challenge though as the pools would be full of kids right outside your door! Room was adequate, only slept there anyway. Ramada next door with great casual restaurant and in the other direction there was a fish and chip shop. St Crispin's was just the other side of the road for lovely breakfast. Shuttle bus to town if needed, only 5 minutes drive. We enjoyed our stay.

A Great Birthday Break

From the time we stepped through reception, we were greeted by very friendly people and the staff were amazing! Knowledgeable about the area regarding things to do, places to eat etc. I even received a bottle of champagne for my birthday! Being a little out of town, comfortably got around with the local shuttle service with a 4 day pass which was unlimited travel. Markets were amazing on Sunday. The accommodation was fantastic, with direct access to the swimming pool, kitchen, 2 bedrooms. We had everything we needed and more and will be back again soon. Beautiful unspoilt part of the world with the reef on your doorstep.

Paradise Found!

Silkari Lagoons is a piece of paradise! Service offered by staff was second to none, recommendations for tours and attractions was appreciated. The resort is good for access to 4 Mile Beach & a bit further from the centre of town. We loved our swim-out room for access to one of the pools. Comfy beds! Good clean bbq facilities, beautiful gardens. Lots of free car parking but if you don’t have a car there are many local shuttle buses that sell multi trip tickets & are a great way to get around.

Beautiful, clean, swim-out pool - what's not to love!

We stayed 6 nights and were upgraded upon check-in to a 3 bedroom dual apartment that suited our family much better than a 2 bedroom apartment alone. We had an excellent deal through Travel Online and had paid an exceptionally low price for what we received. The apartment was very clean, fresh and nicely appointed, with lovely tropical gardens. The swim-out outdoor area was perfect for our kids. Tiled floors easy to keep clean and slippers provided for comfort. The kitchen was more geared to light meals with a two-bay induction stove and microwave, but no oven. Location is a little bit away from the town centre but only a very short drive. No dining option within the hotel, but Ramada is next door and some local cafes are options. Family friendly restaurants for picky eaters are more readily available at the top end of Macrossan St. All in all, it was a beautiful stay and we were very happy with the friendly, attentive service.

Swim Out Lagoon Room

We loved the idea of having the pool off our balcony which we were in every day with our son. Resort is in a great location and only a short 5 minute walk to 4 mile beach behind the resort. The 2 bedroom is interconnecting through the main entry door but had a sliding door between the main and another small room where our son slept in the port-a-cot. There is no bath in the two bedroom apartment either. We stayed for 5 nights and were happy with the apartments facilities also with parking right outside our door. Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Oaks Lagoons. We had the two bedroom swim up room.
