10/10 Excellent

This place is fantastic if you love being close to nature and enjoy the sounds of wildlife while you are going to sleep and as soon as you wake. It's a perfect location for walking in Daintree and the staff and food are amazing. The night walk is great and allows you to see lots of wildlife that you wouldn't see if you were out on your own. There is lots of amphibian, reptile and invertebrate life living in the overhead canopy that leads you to your room so have a look at night with a...

Absolutely loved our stay.. we are a family of four with two little kids :) the pool is right next to the restaurant (which has AMAZING food) so the kids could swim & we could easily watch them and enjoy our meal which was served by really lovely hospitality staff… even had a chat to the chef! The manager is a wonderful and warm host with great recommendations and always there for a chat! The venue is close to everything you need but far enough away that it’s super quiet (as in you can’t hear...

You know how you're often disappointed after arriving at a venue that you've booked online? This is NOT one of those venues! What a spectacular location. Shantara Resort was everything we'd hoped for and more. Fantastic facilities, very clean and well cared for. All staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating. Handy to the centre of town, marina and beach - we had a car but didn't need it at all. Extra bonus of being a child free venue - very peaceful! We had an amazing time and will...
