Guest reviews· 8.5/10 (200)

Guests consistently praise Shantara Resort Port Douglas as a "lovely adults-only getaway" and a convenient base for exploring Port Douglas. Reviewers frequently highlight the "lovely clean and welcoming apartments" which are equipped with all necessary amenities, contributing to very comfortable and enjoyable stays. The resort's tranquil atmosphere is often mentioned, with guests describing it as a "very relaxing place to stay" and appreciating its easy walkability to the beach and town.

The facility's design is well-received, with specific mentions of the entire unit being located on the ground floor or upper floors accessible by elevator, making it wheelchair accessible. The inner courtyard view is appreciated, and the outdoor swimming pool and spa and wellness centre are key attractions contributing to the overall positive experience. Many guests report having "fun adventures" and making "lots of memories" during their stay.

While feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few minor improvements could enhance the guest experience even further. These include the provision of a wake-up service/alarm clock and a drying rack for clothing. Some guests also noted the mention of an extra fee for towels/sheets, although this did not detract significantly from their overall satisfaction, which would otherwise be rated much higher. Essentially, Shantara Resort stands out for its comfortable, accessible, and well-located accommodations, ideal for a relaxing adults-only escape.
