We stayed at the Shantara for 5 nights as the first stop of part of our honeymoon in October 2011. We have since emigrated to Australia and will definitely be returning to Port Douglas to stay at the Shantara. The accommodation was beautiful, the location was perfect, quiet and peaceful and short walking distance to the main strip. The staff were extremely helpful and booked our excursions to the Barrier Reef and Cape Tribulation. Out of all of the accommodation we stayed in during our 3 week trip to Australia the Shantara was the best by a mile. Would recommend this for a romantic break. #Beautiful

We absolutely loved our stay at Shantara. The pool is beautiful and the shared BBQ areas and facilities are brilliant. It is very nicely located, perfectly placed between the beach and the markets and harbour. We do not have a negative comment to make. The lady on reception was delightful and gave us perfect instructions on how to get into the resort after hours as we arrived late into Port Douglas from Sydney.

Room was perfect, pool was amazing. We didn't have food in the resort so i can't comment but no doubt it would have been good too. We emailed before our trip to book our boat trip to the Barrier Reef and it was perfect, reception took care of everything and all we had to do was board the boat. The location was a 5 minute walk to the fabulous Port Douglas and all it has to offer. We had a very relaxing stay. From the moment we arrived i didn't want to leave.

Fantastic hotel! We stayed in one of the top floor units and couldn't have been happier with it. A short walk to everything in Port Douglas, friendly staff, beautiful pool and bbq area, ver clean.

Resort was great. Especially loved the fact that only children over 16 were invited to stay. Don't get me wrong, love kids but when I go on a holiday I like to relax by the pool and not have screaming children running amok! Location was also fantastic! 5 minutes walk to beach in one direction or 5 minutes walk into town in the other. Fabulous!

Fantastic location, so close to everything! Clean rooms and great pools, well worth staying here

Stayed at Shantara in May for 5 nights with family and on behalf of all of us our stay was fantastic. What a great resort all amenties and needs happily catered for. Thank You Shantara

Shantara is the ideal accommodation whilst you are in Port Douglas. It is close to shops, dining, beach everything. Rooms are clean, comfortable and the staff even better. Will definitely stay here again

The resort is close to all ammenities very clean and staff very friendly and cooperative.

We stayed at Shantara in March this year for 7 nights. My partner and I loved every minute of it. We chose to pay a little extra for a room with direct pool access and we were not disappointed! The room was modern and exceptionally clean. The staff members were also very friendly. Port Douglas is such a beautiful location, we will definitely be returning. Our favorite experiences were jungle surfing in the Daintree rainforest and having dinner at On the Inlet. We hope to return soon!
