There isn’t a lot of sun spots around the pool and the hotel didn’t clean the rooms each day. Overall an ok stay

Our room was perfect for our 4 night stay, quiet, very clean and bedding and towels good quality. Our 2nd floor room overlooked one of the swimming pools so nice outlook. Short walk to the wharf, the main shopping/eating area and 4 mile beach. The receptionist was very friendly and polite. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay very much, there were a few minor issues, tv controller not working, light rheostat faulty. All fixed promptly. Staff were friendly and helpful.
It was clean and very comfortable I would consider it again on our next visit.

Good sized accommodation, well laid out. Was a bit bare and less well appointed than other places we have stayed, but the bathroom was excellent and the outside area a great facility. Good supplies of towels and a comfy bed.

Its a nice hotel. The reception staff are very pleasant and helpful. The location is great. The larger rooms are nice. ( I hear the studio rooms are small).
I think they need a light or something that distinguishes its location from the street as its concealed by foliage when you are driving.
Also its not really a resort as there's no bar or restuarant.

Super accommodating staff who proactively reached out to offer a transfer from the airport. Also the property is very close to everything in Port Douglas. Convenient to have laundry access as well.

Loved our stay here. Be aware there is no bar or restaurant but it is in walking distance of the main strip. Loved the way they made it clear what to expect with the servicing of your room. Communication was excellent and reception staff were very friendly and knowledgeable

Stayed 5 nights at Shantara Resort. Only a 5 minute stroll to 4 mile beach & cafes.
Walk into main part of town was 10 minutes. 2 pools, very quiet resort.
Only downside was the aircon it blew straight onto the bed & couldn’t move the direction of air so when in the bed you were freezing.

The Shantara is a nice, clean resort which is quiet and enjoyable. It is very close to shops without being to close to attract the surrounding noise.

Had a lovely stay at Shantara Resort and would visit again. We went in off-season so it was quiet and often got the pool to ourselves! The room was a great size, nice and cool and an excellent amount of storage space so you can actually unpack your toiletries and other knicknacks. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the resort is spotless. I recommend paying for the lower level room so you can walk straight into the pool, we were on level 1 and had FOMO for the lower rooms. The only negative for me was that the bed and pillows weren't that comfortable. Also, our stay did not include turndown service, you need to pay extra for that - if you have a long-ish stay, make sure you keep that in mind.

Such a lovely resort. Very quiet and our suite was lovely. We had the swim out and private jacuzzi suite and will definitely book again. Thank you for an awesome week!!!

Property was clean apart from the yellow stains and mould on the doona.
Great adults only resort would be even better with a pool bar area.
Communication was excellent especially since the cyclone hit and we were wondering if everything was ok.
Watch out for the guy that cleans the pool area of a morning with the ear plugs in he is cranky!!
10.0
Great location - being able to walk into Main Street for dining options and close to the beach.
10.0
Studio room on 2nd floor with a view over the pool was the best. The room was nice size and amazing extras.
Gardens were amazing.
Liz was amazing and so helpful.
Shortwalk into town to collect our bikes, which we could store in the basement.
Due to the recent cyclone, Liz was great at keeping us well informed.

Cyclone Jasper and massive flooding hit the Port Douglas and Cairns just before our arrival. The airport was closed and flooded, and the road connecting the airport to Port Douglas had been washed away. We heard nothing from the hotel, nor were they reachable by phone. After a statement from the government that residents should only use water for emergencies, decided it was irresponsible to try to go up. yet when we emailed to cancel- they were suddenly responsive, and quick to let us know that we'd get no refund. So even the resort had no running water- we were responsible for the full payment. I'm assuming that the complete lack of communication prior to check-in helped ensure that they help no liability for cancelations. We will return to Port Douglas- but most certainly not to Shantara.

Lovely pool areas, walking distance to everything. Liz extremely helpful.
Interesting that not all Studio Rooms are the same size.
Would have been perfect if did breakfast or had a bar area.
6.0
The place was beautiful and clean. Reception was polite. Unfortunately the room was really small and crowded. Too much furniture for the space. Eg a little dining table right in front of the door that goes out to the decking.
