Property: Mantra Aqueous on Port
Status: Gold
Room: 1 Bedroom apartment
Upgrade: No
Internet: Yes, worked fine but their ISP (Broadband Solutions) routed all traffic via Melbourne, so video calls were a little laggy
Early Checkin/Late Checkout: Not offered, not requested
Welcome Drinks: No
Executive Club: N/A
VIP Treatment: Welcome gift of sparkling water and sweets

Spent four nights here, very solid 4* self-contained apartment with fully stocked kitchen. Overall excellent value for Port Douglas at $151 per night compared with $300+ for a room with kitchen at Peppers. Would stay again. Location was perfect - just off the main street, 5-10 min walk to almost anywhere in town, and private underground parking. Communal pools, bbq facilities and and private spa on balcony were excellent.

No onsite bar or restaurant but plenty of outstanding options less than 50m away - such as Sparrow for coffee, Zinc and The Mexican for dinner, and Jimmy Rum's Mixing Lounge for coughtails. Points/status nights posted very quickly after stay. Only negatives were a pretty uncomfortable couch and no room cleaning/towel service unless staying 8+ nights.

Property: Breakfree Royal Harbour Cairns
Status: Gold
Room: 1 Bedroom Garden
Upgrade: No
Internet: Didn't use it
Early Checkin/Late Checkout: Not offered, not requested
Welcome Drinks: No
Executive Club: N/A
VIP Treatment: Zilch - no recognition whatsoever.

Free parking here is a definite plus given the central location, spots are first come first served. Other than that unfortunately not many good things to say. The building and rooms are starting to show their age, bed was uncomfortable, kitchen not really usable for cooking (excessive signage about sensitive smoke detectors and $1200 fire alarm call-out fees yet no rangehood/exhaust fan) and very awkward bathroom window if you're staying with anyone other than a partner.

Highly recommend this property if you enjoy watching what's going on in the kitchen while you take a spa.
