My wife & I selected Shantara purely from the Internet as we were looking for 5 star accommodation. We cannot believe the property has a 5 Star rating based on the following experience:- 1. We arrived at 4.55pm to a locked door - no reception or appropriate welcome. We dialed a number displayed & were let in to retrieve our... more

We stayed in a spa suite which was beautifully appointed and spacious. The location was perfect with only a 3 minute walk to shops or the beach. Perfect for couples with its no children policy. Recieved a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival as it was our anniversary. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to family and friends. more

Well, what can I say... a dear friend of mine put me in contact with Shantara Spa and Resort. Its quite a remarkable 5 star resort, very close to the main street, amazing landscape and such a relaxing and peaceful stay. The room I had was so cosy, and trendy, love the colour matching..credit to the designer. The lagoon pool,... more

We stayed in a studio apartment which was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished. Great to use as a base for exploring the resort and wider area. This was the relaxing part of our holiday to Australia and the Shantara did not let us down. We would definitely stay again. Resort is 5 mins walk away from the shops, restuarants and... more

If you are going to Port Douglas, you couldn't find a better place to stay than Shantara Resort & Spa. The place is very clean and elegant. My wife and I liked the area so well that we decided to extend our stay for an extra 4 nights. The staff was able to accommodate us and was very helpful in... more

Stayed in a Shantara unit. The hosts are helpful, the accommodation first class and it is within easy walk of all the restaurants. We stayed during school holidays and there were no kids which was an added bonus. Highly recommend for couples. more

Very nice. Close to shopping and the tram that goes through the city. Lots of places for tourists to figure out what they want to do. The employees are very friendly and the room was really nice. more

We selected the Shantara based on reviews and our overall expectations were met apart from the appalling lack of service and friendliness of the operators. When we arrived Daniel simply went through a list of services as if he had done it a thousand times and just wanted to get it over, no offer was made to assist us to... more

Really a very nice property. Our room was on the ground level with a private patio framed in lush tropical vegetation looking out onto the pool, which snaked past our patio in such a way as to make like it feel almost like a private pool. The rooms appear to be recently renovated, with very nice results, including flat panel... more
