Our room was perfect for our 4 night stay, quiet, very clean and bedding and towels good quality. Our 2nd floor room overlooked one of the swimming pools so nice outlook. Short walk to the wharf, the main shopping/eating area and 4 mile beach. The receptionist was very friendly and polite. Would definitely stay here again.

Its a nice hotel. The reception staff are very pleasant and helpful. The location is great. The larger rooms are nice. ( I hear the studio rooms are small). I think they need a light or something that distinguishes its location from the street as its concealed by foliage when you are driving. Also its not really a resort as there's no bar or restuarant.

Loved our stay here. Be aware there is no bar or restaurant but it is in walking distance of the main strip. Loved the way they made it clear what to expect with the servicing of your room. Communication was excellent and reception staff were very friendly and knowledgeable

Stayed 5 nights at Shantara Resort. Only a 5 minute stroll to 4 mile beach & cafes. Walk into main part of town was 10 minutes. 2 pools, very quiet resort. Only downside was the aircon it blew straight onto the bed & couldn’t move the direction of air so when in the bed you were freezing.

Had a lovely stay at Shantara Resort and would visit again. We went in off-season so it was quiet and often got the pool to ourselves! The room was a great size, nice and cool and an excellent amount of storage space so you can actually unpack your toiletries and other knicknacks. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the resort is spotless. I recommend paying for the lower level room so you can walk straight into the pool, we were on level 1 and had FOMO for the lower rooms. The only negative for me was that the bed and pillows weren't that comfortable. Also, our stay did not include turndown service, you need to pay extra for that - if you have a long-ish stay, make sure you keep that in mind.
