I planned to go to Port Douglas but every decent place to stay was booked out. But then I saw that there was availability at the Executive Villa. From the photos it looked pretty good. Well, I'm so glad Port Douglas was booked out. Because this is a way better place to stay (you need a car though). Your hosts are truly marvellous people, who have built something very special over the last 14 years. Decorated in Balinese style, the buildings are beautiful. The views are spectacular, particularly if you go 10 km up to the top of the hill on which Executive Villa is located. There are only six rooms here, so the combination of the hillside location and the peaceful sounds (mainly birdsong) make for an incredibly restful stay. Your hosts are wonderfully knowledgeable and friendly and every recommendation they made about how I should walk in the Daintree, get to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, or just where in Port Douglas or Mossman I should head for dinner, were unfailingly accurate. My only problem with this review is that it may encourage even more people to stay here, thus making it more difficult for me to get in next time. There will definitely be a next time and, I expect, many more after that. Brilliant!

We enjoyed a five night stay which definitely recharged our batteries. As opposed to many soulless, sanitised places Executive Villa oozed with charm and love that the owners/managers have invested in their business. They were attentive and caring and had great knowledge about the area and advice on excursions and recommendations on some attractions to see. The gardens around the resort are stunning and there were many little corners with comfortable seating to read etc without having to sit in your room. A private courtyard and lovely pool area were also a great bonus. Hopefully I will return there to enjoy the ambience, view and wonderful hospitality again.
