We really enjoyed this resort. The location was so close to the beach and a nice walk into town. The studio apartment was very adequate for a short stay. Particularly enjoyed the deck overlooking the pool area. It was very enjoyable to sit there in the early morning having coffee and listening to all of the birds singing in the beautiful palm trees. The pools are very lovely and perfect temperature. Staff was very helpful in recommending restaurants. We had a lovely breakfast hamper as part of our package which was very nice since we arrived late and in the rain and didn't want to venture into town that first night. We were able to have a wonderful breakfast for our dinner! I would definitely stay here again.

Paradise in Paradise ,Beautiful location and the resort is perfectly located between the Beach ,Town and Marina. The Resort is pure luxury and very well appointed with very helpful staff. The poolside villa with spa was worth every cent and we made the most of it, we had an awesome time in Port Douglas. Thanks Ike and Karen

Shantara Resort was my first 5 star experience and I was not disappointed. From the friendly, helpful staff to the luxury detail in the room. I loved the fact that the resort was non smoking and non children. Will book here again.

Lovely apartment with sufficient resources in both kitchen and bathroom to meet our needs. Nice kitchenette with settings for everyone. Cleaning items provided and both washer and dryer for each apartment in an adjoining cupboard. 2 nice pools and beach towels provided that can be used outside the resort. Safe area with a short walk to the main street.

WHAT CAN WE SAY BUT OMG!!!!!!! WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE RESORT. MAGICAL, RELAXING, A PARADISE WITHIN A PARADISE. SO INSANELY CLEAN AND FRESH, THE POOLS ARE SPARKLING AND PRISTINE. THE ENTRANCE TO RECEPTION IS JAW OPENING. MAJESTIC COMES TO MIND. AIRCONDITONED ROOM OVERLOOKING THE POOL. SITTING ON OUR BALCONY EVERY MORNING FOR BREAKFAST WAS SO SURREAL. WE WERE IN HEAVEN.

We had an amazing time at Shantara in Port Douglas. The staff was so helpful and friendly and did everything in order to make our stay an incredible one. We loved our room and the deck off the pool. It was so quiet and relaxing. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone.

Everything was more than satisfactory. Amanda on reception was extremely helpful and informative

What a delightful place to stay. Loved our room and the convenience of the kitchenette. Within walking distance of town where we ate in 3 of the recommended restaurants Really appreciated the bottle of sparkling wine given to us to celebrate our anniversary too. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Port Douglas

From the moment I walked in, Shantara staff were attentive, lovely and so helpful! The gorgeous resort was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. My own private swim up deck was perfect - and no kids made the time spent in the pool incredibly relaxing! An amazing experience and I can't wait to go back again!

Beautiful resort, friendly helpful staff. So close to the main shopping precinct and the beach. Just damn lovely 👍🏼😊
