We stayed at Shantara in June 2013 for the second time.It's a great place to stay, situated in a quiet location and within walking distance to the town centre. There is so much to do in Port Douglas, day trips to the reef, Mossman Gorge, the Daintree, Cape Tribulation, sailing cruises, just to name a few. We love the relaxed atmosphere of the town and the beautiful Shantara Resort. Shantara offers stunning accomodation, our Pool View Studio room was clean, comfortable and just perfect for our stay. The two pools and the gardens are lovely and well maintained as are the rooms. The receptiom staff, Jess and Kay, the Managers Marianna and Luigi are friendly and helpful. It is obvious that they all take pride in their establishment and provide a great service to their guests. We would highly recommend the Shantara Resort to anyone planning to visit Port Douglas.

Awsum resort with very friendly and helpful staff!

Shantara Resort & Spa is the perfect retreat for couples looking to unwind and have fun in a relaxed environment. With no children there you can have the pool and facilities to yourself or enjoy a nice dinner and drink on your balcony . The staff are also extremely helpful providing information on and booking the best activities and tours whatever your budget.

Stayed for two comfortable nights with a friend and it was so relaxing! Accommodations and Resort grounds were excellent and very inviting, the staff was friendly and only a short distance all restaurants, shopping and the beach!

Our children gave us a 3 day stay as a Christmas present and we are planning to make it our annual trip up to treat ourselves.

Great location as it was away from the hustle and bustle of the central area. Only a short walk to the Marina and the restaurants. The facilities were well kept, plants and pool looked lovely and well maintained. Staff were very helpful with coordinating day trips and tours.

Our room was the nicest room we have ever stayed at we were extremly happy with our choice for our first holiday as husband and wife. the room was imaculate and everything was of such a high quality. we loved walking out our door and into the pool or using our very own Jacuzzi. the kitchen was well equipt if we felt like staying in and Shantara was close to the main street we loved walking down there and working our was through the list of delicious restaurants and cafes that were on offer close by YUMM. we will definatley be back there is so much more we would like to do. although the best bit was probably doing very little and just enjoying the whole experience.

Absolute luxury! Apartment was spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. We used the pool and BBQ facilities to cook local fish we had bought. Perfect location, easy access to main streets and quiet. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others! Thanks

Shantara serves as one of the best places I have stayed at both here and overseas. The furnishings were modern, the area was quiet, the staff were very helpful - overall creating a very relaxing and serene atmosphere. I would go back there in a heartbeat.

We have stayed at Shantara twice, both times in a pool view room. Can't speak highly enough of this place. Really lovely clean and modern facilities and very quiet. Terrific location, just off the main street and close to the beach. Couldn't be more perfect and we can't wait to be back.
