being the 4th time we have stayed as we have enjoyed the resort so much. it is extremely clean & tidy. the area is quiet with all facilities catered for eg.pools, gym, spa, bbq area, massage, reading room. helpful service team and location is great to be able to walk most local things eg markets, restaurants.

It's has been the best place I have stayed Kay was wonderful and very friendly If you want a perfect honey moon or couple holiday for 5 days Shantare Resort is the perfect place to go close to shops, beach and friendly staff

It is unusual to find a location that caters for adults only in Port Douglas. It was certainly a welcome change from all the other noisy overcrowded with young unsupervised children locations that have become popular with travellers with very young children. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to go for a swim in a peaceful environment.

Overall a very good and enjoyable experience. Nice to be able to stroll leisurely to all amenities. Nice to relax and feel content after a day out sightseeing. Happy to recommend this to our friends and contacts.

Didnt see room cleaning option. Would have requested one clean at time of booking. We booked through trip adviser/ hotel.com

I thought the resort complex was fabulous - so clean and tidy. We had a one bedroom apartment perfect for us - we had breakfast in but ate out all other meals. The location was perfect and so close to everything we did not need a car

I stayed a week over New Years with my mother and what a wonderful stay it was. With the cricket test on TV, a cheeky cosmopolitan in hand and the pool just steps from the door it was the most relaxing, blissful experience I've had in a long time. The BBQ area is brilliant and the staff where so pleasant to deal with. With a short walk to shops, restaurants and the beach, it made for the perfect holiday! Thank you.

We came to Port Douglas to celebrate our friends 50th birthday. Shantara was booked by our birthday friend and was a wonderful surprise, Everything was perfect, Shantara was like a tranquil oasis....no children and our room was so spacious with a gorgeous ensuite bathroom. So close to the shops and retaurants. When we come back to Port Douglas we won't look anywhere else.

Shantara is an extremely well run property, close to all amenities, the rooms are light and airey and the pool and garden surrounds are very well maintained, as an added bonus the staff are always very helpful.

If you want a relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor back in April for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The apartment was very spacious and overlooked the pool from our balcony, and everything is as good as you see on the internet. The condition and furnishings in the room are first class, the towels and bed linen superb and the king bed was really comfortable. There was an air-conditioner and ceiling fan in both the lounge area and the bedroom. The bathroom has a walk in shower and a spa bath too and is also very spacious. The kitchen area was well equipped with premium crockery and utensils, and they supply milk pods and tea and coffee sachets etc for when you first arrive. There are two outdoor pools and one has a BBQ area for guests to use. There is also free underground parking at the apartments if you drive to Port Douglas. If you prefer privacy and quiet then I would suggest a room on the 2nd floor rather than the rooms on the ground floor that have direct access to the pool from their rooms. The only downside is that for non smokers it is irritating when other guests'' cigarette smoke periodically drifts from their balcony onto yours if you sit out, but you can get that in any hotel. Having said that we would definitely stay here again.
