Rendezvous Reef Resort Port Douglas Awarded 4th Star


The Rendezvous Reef Resort Port Douglas has been awarded a 4-star Apartment Hotel rating under the official Australian STAR AAA Tourism rating scheme, following a major AU$8 million refurbishment to its facilities.

A premier family resort in Port Douglas, the Rendezvous Reef Resort is located just two minutes from Port Douglas village and the famous Four Mile Beach. The resort comprises 125 villas set within 15 acres of lush tropical gardens. Guests can spread out and enjoy a range of facilities including three lagoon-style pools, a 25-metre lap pool, a children's pool, tennis courts and a casual barbeque area.

Scott Wilkinson, General Manager of the Rendezvous Reef Resort Port Douglas, said the 4-star rating is a reflection of the tasteful upgrade to the resort.

"During the last 18 months, the resort has undergone major upgrades and refurbishments and the 4-star Apartment Hotel rating bears testament to our efforts to set benchmarks in quality products and services." he said. "We are proud of all of our employees who work tirelessly to ensure our guests enjoy a memorable vacation experience and we will strive to uphold and improve on the rating," Wilkinson said.

The rating system is based on the superior quality of accommodation, recreational and dining facilities, maintenance and cleaning, overall appearance of the resort and amenities as well as other aspects of the hospitality including parking and security.

The refurbishments include a complete renovation of the main building which houses the reception area, lobby, tour desk, and the Swish Restaurant and Bar.

Since these main redevelopments, the services, facilities and villa accommodation at Rendezvous Reef Resort Port Douglas have continually been enhanced with a complete repaint of the external walls of the resort, replacement of soft furnishings and new bedding and bed linen. Other upgrades include ongoing improvements to the 15 acres of lush tropical gardens and eye-catching makeovers of the lagoon pools and barbeque facilities.

Rendezvous Reef Resort was placed in the Top Five for "Best Refurbishment" award at the Australia, New Zealand & Pacific Hotel Investment Conference (ANZPHIC) on completion of the $8 Million refurbishment.
