"This is a really nice stay. Right on the street with all of the shops and walkable to both the beach and the marina. But, some things that may be helpful for other guests to know: reception hours are VERY limited, though reception staff are very helpful. This will impact you if you need help booking a shuttle or locking up luggage or getting change or soap for laundry. They are SUPER helpful when available, but hours are extrememly limited. No hot tub on site, the jacquizi in the unit is a bath tub. (it's a bit odd - you have to walk through the bathroom to get to the porch. The jacquizi is not on the porch, just overlooks the porch.) Also, there is not daily service, so if you need soap or anything refilled before the service, too bad so sad. The pool is much smaller than it looks in the photos. Hotpot and pop-up toaster, but no microwave. But location can't be beat."
"Once happy hour finished at six the pool bar closed, seemed odd not to stay open to allow people to have another drink - you’d done a great job luring everyone down then the vibe just stopped. Good for thought."
Shantara Resort Port Douglas - Adults Only Retreat
10/10 Excellent
"The rooms are clean and spacious. Being an adults only resort, it is very quiet and relaxing. The location is excellent and very close to everything. We loved our stay and will be back!"
"Cape Tribulation is a very unique and special location. It’s certainly worth exploring and staying the night. The cabin was clean and the ensuite was large and clean. It was ideal having the ensuite because it was raining and although the amenities weren’t far, it wouldn’t have been unpleasant having to leave the comfort of your room to shower or use a toilet. Perhaps the price is up there, but I guess it’s fairly remote. Staff friendly, pub across the road made lovely pizza."
"Beautiful location in the Daintree rainforest. Very quiet, serene & peaceful. Greg (owner/operator) made an excellent full breakfast.
Definitely recommend the stay"
