Vanessa Lavina
Great direct access to the pool from our room. Five minute walk to the main high street and your choice of plenty of fabulous restaurants.
Room was clean, but a little tired. Good facilities in the room, but more space had been given over to the kitchenette, than space for suitcases or anywhere to put your clothes - so we were unable to fully unpack our small suitcases.
Reception team were very good - helpful with answering any questions and booking transfers for us, even before our arrival- thank you!

We had an awesome stay at Shantara Port Douglas! The quiet, adults-only ambience made it the perfect place to relax, recharge, and unwind. The pools were fantastic—beautifully maintained and ideal for spending lazy afternoons.
The location is spot on, with everything within easy walking distance, making it easy to explore Port Douglas without needing the car. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with great facilities and excellent service, Shantara Port Douglas is a fantastic choice. We can't wait to come back!

Great place to stay. Excellent location. Lovely pools
Vince
The online advertising presents the property very well - but it lacks the ambiance of the images. Despite this the large studio suite felt a little dated. Kitchen accessories/utensils were very basic and would have appreciated a coffee pod machine. Laundry - washing machine had soap and lint encrusted in the dispenser and detergent was an extra cost. Basement parking was convenient. The salt water pool was good but the gym tread mill was broken and the other equipment was less than basic. Location to shops and beach is very good. Staff were helpful and polite. Overall a positive experience.
Charmaine
Had a wonderful 10 night stay at Shantara. We loved being so close to Macrossan st and the beach, while the pool was an amazing end to each day. The Hotel was peaceful, beautiful and quiet. As is normal for Far North Queensland, there is not everyday cleaning service but we don’t use that anywhere anyway. Plenty of parking, but if you didn’t bring a car everything is walking distance with shuttle bus options for longer journeys. The only black mark of the stay were our neighbours on the pool deck room who were obviously upset at having a queer couple nearby, so disappointing in 2026 but not the Hotels fault at all.
JULIE
We stayed in a studio room. The bed was good & linen & towels & good to have the kitchenette. We were a bit disappointed in the overall offer. There are no onsite dining/cafe options so just the pool area. The room felt a bit small compared to other places we have stayed and some of the facilities were a bit worn. Overall it was expensive for the quality
Jan
Beautiful large apartment with balcony. overlooking the pool. Well equipped kitchen, lounge area, bedroom and bathroom. Laundry shared with apartment next door.
Tropical plants at front of property and near pool area are amazing. Beautiful lighting at night. Property located close to Macrossan Street and walking distance to 4 mile beach.

The hotel is excellent and its location is in walking distance to many good restaurants, bars, and cafes. It is also less than five minutes to a netted beach which is ideal for a swim. I would highly recommend his hotel to anyone!!
Sophie
Positives:
Check-in was smooth, and the location was convenient with the added benefit of free parking.
Negatives:
When booking, I specifically requested a quiet room for our babymoon. Unfortunately, the room we were initially assigned was very noisy. The walls were extremely thin—we could hear conversations from other guests, traffic from the road, and even a washing machine running at 2am right outside our door. Given that occupancy appeared low, it was disappointing to be placed so close to other guests.
As a result, I struggled to sleep for the first three nights. Being pregnant and also dealing with a cold, this significantly impacted our stay and ended up being the biggest letdown of the trip. After raising the issue with reception, we were moved to a room at the back of the property for the remaining nights. This room was much quieter, and I was finally able to rest. While I do appreciate the staff’s efforts to resolve the situation, it was frustrating that we weren’t allocated a more suitable room from the beginning.
Overall, the resort felt overpriced for what it offers. Housekeeping is only provided at an additional cost, and the rooms and bathrooms are quite dated, with poor soundproofing.
Check-in was smooth, and the location was convenient with the added benefit of free parking.
Negatives:
When booking, I specifically requested a quiet room for our babymoon. Unfortunately, the room we were initially assigned was very noisy. The walls were extremely thin—we could hear conversations from other guests, traffic from the road, and even a washing machine running at 2am right outside our door. Given that occupancy appeared low, it was disappointing to be placed so close to other guests.

Underwhelming. Pools were is constant partial shade by surrounding buildings. No daily service as advertised. Only 1 service during 9 night stay. No amenity pack- eg no shower cap, no body lotion. Not deserve 4.5 star rating.
Positives- very spacious apartment and very quiet. Easy walking distance to Macrossen St.

Great location for shops, restaurants and beach
Our room was small but clean and bed comfortable
Washing machine was very useful and the provision of powder for 2 dollars also helped

Very friendly staff at reception on arrival and easy book in. Beautiful room clean comfortable and quiet. Amenities first class and would recommend to anyone and in no hesitation for a return visit. Sorry we had to leave.

Corner room was very dark. Small room. Balcony oppressive heat

We come every year and just love the quiet peaceful relaxed vibe. Adults only is the best, you can totally switch off and enjoy your break. Shantara is close to everything, can walk easily to the beach, marina and shops and restaurants/cafes/bars. Tours pick up at the door.
Staff are very helpful.

Resort was close to the village as well as the sea. No need to drive there unless you went further. Very quiet and relaxing. Thank you Shantara Resort.

So So at Shantara
Our room was quite small on 2nd floor, but would have been more spacious without a round glass table & 2 chairs between bed and balcony doors. TV was installed on kitchen bench so only half of bench was able to used. I dropped an apple, which rolled under the bed, and was apalled to see how dirty it was under the bed. Plastic bag, thick dust and other bits of rubbish from prior guests. Obviously no cleaning checks in place. Pools also needed deep cleaning or repainting as had brown patches on bottom. For the number of units there was a lack of sunloungers, only the units on ground floor were catered for. Noisy when guests were outside on decks as you could hear conversations when balcony doors open, which we did not want to do day and night. Staff were helpful and friendly and the overall look of the property was great.
Terry
Location friendly staff garden so peaceful
Stephen
Excellent property, great pools, very smart. Our room was a bit small and the TV was pretty hopeless - we couldn’t cast to it so the range of programming was very limited. But overall a lovely place.
Mahoor
The room was amazing and clean, had everything we needed, extra towels, a kitchenette, microwave oven, tea and coffee. Also a very beautiful view of one of the pools, sounds of birds singing, water fall and a nice breeze when sitting on the balcony. Couldn’t be better than this. Thank you 😊

Wonderful stay at Shantara
Loved our stay at Shantara. Beautiful quiet resort in a perfect position. Close to everything you could need.

Great location

We can’t fault the location and the pool (there’s two) is heated beautifully and everything is very clean.
We stayed in the top floor one bedroom apartment, the kitchen equipment is a little lacking and very basic, missed not having an oven or even air fryer.
We also struggled to get any pool time as there’s only about 8 loungers and they were occupied most of the time.
The complex is a little in need of some maintenance (broken and missing tiles etc).
Otherwise we loved our stay (second time here)

Fabulous location and very clean apartment
Richard
Location was great staff were friendly rooms were small.
Andy
We had a 1 bedroom apartment that overlooked the pool and bbq area, that was really great having breakfast out there most mornings. Seeing the cockatoos flying home every night was amazing too. Very spacious and modern apartment. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Not too far to walk to the beach or the shops which made it handy. Amazing place, can't wait to go back.
Paul
Had a fantastic time, loved the location and the pool. Only downside would be the wifi being so weak that it kept dropping out.
Also the floors being concrete somebody upstairs kept stomping around and dragging furniture about. Very strange.
Overall would definitely stay again.

ROSS
Clean, and tidy room, with a balcony view overlooking the pool. Free undercover parking. Friendly staff. Happily stay here again.
Marsha
The perfect place to stay! There is lots of parking available if you have a car. If you don't have one, don't worry as it's a short walk to the port, shops and restaurants. The hotel room we stayed in was really clean, comfortable and roomy. There was also a washing machine and room spa which made the stay even more perfect! Overall, it was a relaxing stay as the place is really quiet and relaxing :) We would definitely stay again if we came back to Port Douglas!
Coleen
Wonderful Stay
Shantara was a wonderful place to stay. It was a short walk to Macrossan St for restaurants and shops
Julie
Loved the whole experience, in particular the staff they were just wonderful
John
Great outlook over the pool, great location, close to main shopping area, clean, tidy. Receptionist very friendly & helpful. Room was compact and had everything you would need. There is always a but however... the bed was hard and uncomfortable, it was similar to many hotel/apartments where the bed appeared to be two singles joined together with a larger top mattress creating a higher section in the middle.
David
Great location with helpful staff
Daniel
Great stay for a quiet week away even during wet season.
Marcus
100/10 we have booked again!!!
Katrina
Staff were amazing from first contact through to check out, they couldn't have been more helpful on multiple occassions. The room was lovely and the pools were perfect. Thank you for making our stay so memorable.
Robert
Good, not Great
The hotel had all of the amenities, fridge, washer/dryer, utensils etc. & a great location half way between 4 mile beach and town center. We were there off season (January), so nothing going on. Nobody in the pool (too warm), Staff & reception only around 9:00-3:00. Probably much better in July. Hotel is showing its age. Mattress was past “plush” appearance dated. Internet was weak, that may have been due to the weather
Anastasia
Really enjoyed my stay at the Shantara Resort. The Property was lovely and modern. My unit was really comfortable, modern and had a lovely balcony that overlooked the pools. Excellent parking. I would definitely stay the next time i visit

This was our second time at the resort and it was perfect again. Would highly recommended to stay. Hellen

Great retreat with plenty of space
Great location, clean accommodation and was quiet when we visited.
David
Outstanding property. Self contained unit where you can prep breakfast or an easy dinner if you don’t want to eat out every meal. Two great pools that are really quiet and peaceful. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Lovely, helpful staff too. Really close to the Main Street (Macrossan St) with all dining/shopping within a 5 minute walk. Loved it, we’ll be back
Peter Charles
Fantastic place to relax and unwind

Lloyd
Very clean, nice quite place to stay
Stephen Robert Davie
Excellent all round. Well maintained & every bit as nice a stay as it was when we stayed 8 years ago.
Miriam
Great comfortable stay.
Anita
Great location within easy walk to four mile beach and all restaurants and shopping. The studio is comfortable, away from the Main Street so quiet. Balcony overlooking the pool has a table and two chairs so very pleasant. There is a washing machine and a dryer just outside the unit, and washing powder can be purchased at the reception desk for $2:00 for a small sachet
On the whole, it is a nice place but could use a little renovation- there is mold around the shower floor and around the sink, the comforter, although it is covered by a sheet is pretty badly stained. Small nuisance but certainly not expected in a prestige resort.

Just book this resort
Our room was perfect for our 4 night stay, quiet, very clean and bedding and towels good quality. Our 2nd floor room overlooked one of the swimming pools so nice outlook. Short walk to the wharf, the main shopping/eating area and 4 mile beach. The receptionist was very friendly and polite. Would definitely stay here again.
Ian
We enjoyed our stay very much, there were a few minor issues, tv controller not working, light rheostat faulty. All fixed promptly. Staff were friendly and helpful.
It was clean and very comfortable I would consider it again on our next visit.

Good sized accommodation, well laid out. Was a bit bare and less well appointed than other places we have stayed, but the bathroom was excellent and the outside area a great facility. Good supplies of towels and a comfy bed.
Cheryl
Lovely setting and location was excellent
Jody
Great location, easy walking distance to the main st, Lovely property, beautiful pool area.
Unfortunately, we found a few things that showed the room wasn’t cleaned properly prior to our stay.

Quiet location. Easy accsess. Good pool & amenities. Clean. Friendly staff. Comfortable appartment & bed.
Robert
Its a nice hotel. The reception staff are very pleasant and helpful. The location is great. The larger rooms are nice. ( I hear the studio rooms are small).
I think they need a light or something that distinguishes its location from the street as its concealed by foliage when you are driving.
Also its not really a resort as there's no bar or restuarant.

Great little stay for a last minute getaway, place was spotlessly clean would highly recommenr

Excellent staff and location
Super accommodating staff who proactively reached out to offer a transfer from the airport. Also the property is very close to everything in Port Douglas. Convenient to have laundry access as well.
Martin
Loved our stay here. Be aware there is no bar or restaurant but it is in walking distance of the main strip. Loved the way they made it clear what to expect with the servicing of your room. Communication was excellent and reception staff were very friendly and knowledgeable
Rodney
I enjoyed my stay here as it was close to every thing .
Nancy
Stayed 5 nights at Shantara Resort. Only a 5 minute stroll to 4 mile beach & cafes.
Walk into main part of town was 10 minutes. 2 pools, very quiet resort.
Only downside was the aircon it blew straight onto the bed & couldn’t move the direction of air so when in the bed you were freezing.

The Shantara is a nice, clean resort which is quiet and enjoyable. It is very close to shops without being to close to attract the surrounding noise.
Erin
Had a lovely stay at Shantara Resort and would visit again. We went in off-season so it was quiet and often got the pool to ourselves! The room was a great size, nice and cool and an excellent amount of storage space so you can actually unpack your toiletries and other knicknacks. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the resort is spotless. I recommend paying for the lower level room so you can walk straight into the pool, we were on level 1 and had FOMO for the lower rooms. The only negative for me was that the bed and pillows weren't that comfortable. Also, our stay did not include turndown service, you need to pay extra for that - if you have a long-ish stay, make sure you keep that in mind.
Jacqui Lalia
Such a lovely resort. Very quiet and our suite was lovely. We had the swim out and private jacuzzi suite and will definitely book again. Thank you for an awesome week!!!
Melissa
Property was clean apart from the yellow stains and mould on the doona.
Great adults only resort would be even better with a pool bar area.
Communication was excellent especially since the cyclone hit and we were wondering if everything was ok.
Watch out for the guy that cleans the pool area of a morning with the ear plugs in he is cranky!!

Great location - being able to walk into Main Street for dining options and close to the beach.
Sue and Roy
Studio room on 2nd floor with a view over the pool was the best. The room was nice size and amazing extras.
Gardens were amazing.
Liz was amazing and so helpful.
Shortwalk into town to collect our bikes, which we could store in the basement.
Due to the recent cyclone, Liz was great at keeping us well informed.

Shady business practices
Cyclone Jasper and massive flooding hit the Port Douglas and Cairns just before our arrival. The airport was closed and flooded, and the road connecting the airport to Port Douglas had been washed away. We heard nothing from the hotel, nor were they reachable by phone. After a statement from the government that residents should only use water for emergencies, decided it was irresponsible to try to go up. yet when we emailed to cancel- they were suddenly responsive, and quick to let us know that we'd get no refund. So even the resort had no running water- we were responsible for the full payment. I'm assuming that the complete lack of communication prior to check-in helped ensure that they help no liability for cancelations. We will return to Port Douglas- but most certainly not to Shantara.
Shalini
As an adults only resort wonderfully quiet. Staff assistance booking trips etc was great. Would stay again.
