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.

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.

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.
