Cairns and Barrier Reef Adventure Holidays

A few missing things, no dish detergent, door and towel rails broken which we temped to fix, the tv was unwatchable due to delayed internet and pixelation and the smaller bedroom was clostriphobic and the showers were disappointing. The hot tub was a surprise and very enjoyable, location was excellent to the beach and restaurants, fabulous food. Michael's service was excellent when welcoming guests and he was very helpful.

Left watch behind. Contacted immediately to post it across. Very close to everything.

Had a wonderful 10 night stay at Shantara. We loved being so close to Macrossan st and the beach, while the pool was an amazing end to each day. The Hotel was peaceful, beautiful and quiet. As is normal for Far North Queensland, there is not everyday cleaning service but we don’t use that anywhere anyway. Plenty of parking, but if you didn’t bring a car everything is walking distance with shuttle bus options for longer journeys. The only black mark of the stay were our neighbours on the pool deck room who were obviously upset at having a queer couple nearby, so disappointing in 2026 but not the Hotels fault at all.

Good experience. Nice relaxing place. Very helpful staff.

Good size room and great location as everything is close. The staff are great and have good knowledge of the area. Definitely a good base to explore the region and reasonably priced.

Wonderful location! The apartment was spacious and clean! Staff was very easy to work with. We used the included car which made things simpler than dealing with rental companies. We would stay again!

Beach view what you see is what you get

What a wonderful resort. The property is absolutely stunning as are the staff! You don’t need to leave the resort, everything is at your fingertips. The included activities are an added bonus and a great way to meet new people. Every staff member always had a smile on their face and nothing was too much trouble.
