"Room clean and bed comfortable, good value basic accommodation for one night stop over. Only criticisms are that the pillows were rock hard, and breakfast is not available until 8am which we weren’t made aware of - as we had to leave early we went without. "
Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat
6/10 Okay
"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."
"Would have benefitted from luggage carrier with rain protection given distance from parking lot to hotel. Apart from that, everything was wonderful and as advertised."
