Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat

Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat

8/10 Good
"Location was excellent, rooms are smaller than they look, with no where to sit other than the bed and all look into each other. Receptionist was super helpful and accommodating. Bed was very hard. Pool was lovely, if you are wanting to sunbath you need to go to the beach as only few sunbeds and the building shades a lot."

10/10 Excellent
"Really enjoyed our stay here. Highlights were the amazing pool, the food in the restaurant (particularly the Indonesian night), the big rooms (although dated), beautiful trees and the rainforest walk through. I recommend 'Port Douglas premium transfers' to and from the airport - awesome driver. SR coaches cancelled on us. Port Douglas is incredible, the beach is so beautiful. Also a great cafe called St. Crispins a short walk from the resort with awesome food and coffee. We would come back and stay here!"
