Definitely a good place to be in Port Douglas.

3 nights at the Shantara in Port Douglas. Very good location - within walking distance to the places relevant to tourists. Very clean and comfortable room and quiet - it was well-furnished and well-decorated - made the stay a real pleasure.

Liked: Cleanliness

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

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

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.
