27th Sept 2023 - LOVED IT.
I rarely write reviews but feel compelled to share the great time we had at the Lazy Lizard Motor Inn. We booked relatively last minute, the booking process was easy, the instructions to get to the motel and the Welcome email exemplary.
What a gem! The Lazy lizard motel is a great place to stay, we had a lovely big airy room, exceptionally clean & comfortable, well stocked equipment in the kitchenette & fluffy white towels!! 😍
Aidan who greeted was fantastic and soo knowledgeable, helping us plan our own road trip of local places to see and do. The best trip ever, we saw some amazing sights in Daintree, including a wild cassowary!!!
We loved all the extra touches: Clear, easy to follow maps, beach towels from reception for our trip out to the reef, laundry, ice machine, borrowing a DVD for the evening, local restaurant & bar information.
We felt so well cared for as customers, thank you so much Aidan. Sam and I would highly recommend the Lazy Lizard and would love to visit again, as it’s been the highlight of our trip. 10 out of 10 for excellent customer service. Thank you.
Great place to stay
This motel is a great place to stay and reasonably priced. The rooms are big, exceptionally clean and have a great little kitchen area. The staff are fantastic, helpful and are so knowledgeable about the area. Aiden was extremely helpful with planning our tours. He gave us an esky so that we could have a picnic on the beach at Cape Tribulation which was fantastic. They have a big ice machine for everyone to use which is brilliant for your evening drinks. The pool area was great. We would highly recommend the Lazy Lizard and would happily come back. I give Aiden and Alex 10 out of 10 for excellent customer service.
Excellent!
It is not easy to find a decently priced but nice and clean room in Port Douglas during high season. However, we found exactly this at the Lazy Lizard. We were most impressed with the heated pool and the kind and helpful guys at the reception, who even took care of my luggage while I went camping in the rainforest for a week. Thanks so much, guys! We had a great time at the Lazy Lizard and will certainly come back soon.
