Thala Beach Resort was absolutely incredible. I just visited in April and had a great trip. From the amazing staff, beautiful resort and wallabies- I couldn’t recommend more. Also ignore the earlier reviews around the food- its excellent. I ate on the beautiful patio for both breakfast and dinner. Every experience was great. The staff took such great care of me with special food needs and car service for the GBR snorkeling (I came all the way from America). I can’t thank them enough for such a lovely trip!

Lovely environment in the middle of a rainforest, full with coconut palm trees, frogs, birds, lizards and butterflies. Comfortable small bungalows/houses spread out on the property. Also a nice and sandy beach. Unfortunately we couldn’t take a swim because of the dangerous jellyfish that are plentiful during March. No other restaurants in the neighborhood, so we had no choice than to eat in the hotel’s restaurant. The selection of food on the menu wasn’t too exciting, neither was the food. The staff is very friendly and helpful in every way. The only minus is the WiFi, which is useless outside the reception/restaurant area.

On se sent privilégié de séjourner ainsi au coeur de la nature. Les chambres sont des bungalows sur pilotis éparpillés sur un vaste espace. Elles sont confortables, bien équipées avec une vaste salle de bain et une belle terrasse. Il faut prévoir de marcher un peu mais si nécessaire le personnel vous transporte facilement avec les voiturettes. Il y a plusieurs piscines et une plage fantastique. Des parcours de promenade sont balisés dans cette vaste réserve très préservée, on peut voir de nombreux oiseaux et des kangourous. L'espace du petit déjeuner avec sa vue sur la mer est magique et il faut vraiment noter que le personnel est très aimable. A recommander sans hésitation

The biggest attraction of this hotel is it's location in the rain forest. You are up on a mountain side. The rooms are bungalow style so you are nestled in the jungle. The main lobby/restaurant is open with beautiful views of the mountains and water below. They do have a private beach which I believe is not true of other hotels in Port Douglas. We thought everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful. We did take the golf cart to the room at night and they always had someone readily available. They had a beautiful pool that is shaped like waterfalls and ponds. Cute touch. As others have said in the reviews. The rooms and the decor are dated and tired. They definitely need a refresh. The location can also be a negative. Unless you have rented a car, you rely on the private drivers or the shuttle buses that come to the hotel. It gets very expensive. This is even to go into Port Douglas to have dinner or shop - it is about 20 mins in the van. Overall we enjoyed our stay and like everywhere in Australia, the people made the difference.

We spent several nights as part of a private tour of Australia. The staff was very helpful in coordinating our tours and planning meals. We stayed a good walk from the main lodge in a very nice cabin. The staff would bring you in and out but we walked most of the time. The Reserve has quite a few rare wildlife - birds and mammals. The food was excellent as was the service. We were warned about the bugs in the area so we were prepared with the recommended repellent.

Lovely unique location for a peaceful break. It was useful to have a taxi service into Port Douglas several times a day.
Would recommend the hotel

Can’t say enough about how lovely this place was to stay. The staff was excellent and clearly dedicated to service for their guests. We stayed in one of their canopy bungalows which was just lovely with many amenties, a comfortable bed and nicely appointed with a balcony overlooking the forest. The resort is pretty hilly, but the staff is happy to take you where you need to go in their electric golf carts. We enjoyed the very cool, multi-tiered rock pool as well as a walk down to the beautiful beach. Due to road flooding, we were “forced” to stay an extra night until the main road reopened…hardly a hardship! The staff were so accommodating it made the change in our itinerary easy to bear. We also ate at the Osprey restaurant for breakfast and a few times for dinner…stunning views and good food, too. It’s a little off the beaten path about 20 min south of Port Douglas, but highly recommended.
