Firstly, we didn’t actually stay at this resort. This post relates to the poor service and misleading advertising on their website.. Their website advertised particular rates valid during the period we wanted to stay, with no minimum nights’ stay required.

We were in Australia for 14 nights and this was the best facility of any of the other nine. The room was very spacious, clean and provided all necessary condominium essentials including a shared washer and dryer outside of the room. The staff was outstanding and helped us fax documents to the US to buy a house! They also were... more

We have just returned from a 7 day stay at Shantara. This was a fantastic hotel, with very accomodating and friendly staff. The location was great, within walking distance to the town and beach. The rooms were clean and modern, with all the appliances we needed. And the pools were fantastic!! Also, it was great to be able to visit... more

My wife and I are fortunate to have travelled extensively and are quite discerning when it comes to accommodation. The Shantara ticks all the boxes!! A heartfelt thanks... more

Once again I am back reviewing Shantara. This place is fantastic. The facilities are great and Marianna, Luigi and Pauline cannot do enough to help you. We love it so much we have already booked our next holiday for August 2009. Everything here is at your finger tips, it is a 5 minute (at the most) walk to Macrossan Street... more
