We arrived at Pullman Sea Temple Port Douglas on a Saturday. Over the course of four days, the main pool steadily deteriorated — from slightly cloudy to dark green and, in appearance, resembling a swamp. Despite this, resort staff repeatedly assured guests that the water was “safe to swim.” The pool largely remained accessible, with limited and poorly positioned signage. Even during brief periods when the pool was reportedly closed, signs were placed in common or corridor areas, which was ineffective for a resort dominated by swim-out rooms. As a result, many guests continued using the pool directly outside their accommodation. What I found particularly disappointing was the attitude taken by resort staff when concerns were raised. At one point, it was explicitly stated to us that we were “not their customer” because our accommodation had been privately rented. This was said openly and left a very poor impression, especially given the ongoing issues impacting the stay. During the stay, I developed what a medical professional described as folliculitis, a skin condition that can be associated with exposure to unclean water. I cannot state definitively that the pool caused this, but the timing and circumstances were concerning. By contrast, the private accommodation owner was significantly more professional and empathetic. They acknowledged the challenges we faced — including the lack of a usable pool for much of the stay — and, while limited in what they could do, they did provide a small amount of compensation, which was appreciated. For a resort positioned as a premium destination, the lack of transparency, empathy, and guest-focused care was deeply disappointing. Based on our experience, I would not return or recommend this property.

The staff members were friendly and room facilities was great. Came for my anniversary and was definitely impressed with the service before arriving the resort with back and forth communication with the staff. Room spa had a bit of hair from the previous guests

Restaurant service was poor, was made to feel like an inconvenience to the staff for being there. Pool bar service was very average. Other than that, everything was great. Rooms were very clean and well appointed. Good quite location.
