"Some staff were unhelpful, answering "I don't know" when we asked for assistance. We were told we received an upgrade upon check-in but for $500 per night, we had a view of the carpark. "
"We were disappointed that we didn't get the room that we paid for - it did not match the advertised pictures and was smaller than advertised. The pools and spas were too cold to swim in and one of the spas was not working. The room was very dark and a big wall blocked our view. There was not enough cutlery for 2 people and there was no sink to wash it in. The blinds were stained and the pools had stains and chipped tiles. It was in need of a renovation and a good clean."
"Great location in the rain forest within a few steps of a glorious beach. So quiet, with no distractions ( no mobile or wifi coverage). Chalet was fairly basic, but comfortable. On site restaurant was good for breakfast and dinner."
Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful large apartment with balcony. overlooking the pool. Well equipped kitchen, lounge area, bedroom and bathroom. Laundry shared with apartment next door.
Tropical plants at front of property and near pool area are amazing. Beautiful lighting at night. Property located close to Macrossan Street and walking distance to 4 mile beach. "
"A night in the rainforest was a magical experience!
This place is so relaxing and well thought out. The rooms are completely screened so we left all the doors and windows open for the night and immersed ourselves in the sounds of the forest.
Some lovely walks on the property too.
Staff were wonderfully attentive and helpful. We enjoyed dinner on the edge of the pond accompanied by a chorus of frogs. Breakfast in the same spot (included in the stay) was lovely too - fresh fruit, juices, tea/coffee and a main dish. Delicious.
Shame this was just one night!"
"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. "
