Close to town just a 15min walk. Beautiful pool area. Reasonably quiet & good to see security cameras . Very safe area to stay. Sheets changed once for a 7 night stay. No shampoo, conditioner or coffee sachets were replaced at this time
Lovely clean room, and walking distance into town and beach was great! Staff were super friendly and helpful in organising tours and recommendations etc.
As was described in the booking. Clean, efficient. Would definitely stay again. 🙂

No smart TV so we couldn't watch Netflix etc only free to air. Mid week refresh of the apartment was minimal. Linens only, no cleaning or top ups of essentials like garbage bin bags. The heated pool was excellent.
The resort was in very good location only a short stroll to the centre of the Port . Close walk 5 minutes to the 5 mile beach. The bbq area was very dirty, so nobody could use it.

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.
