Great location within easy walk to four mile beach and all restaurants and shopping. The studio is comfortable, away from the Main Street so quiet. Balcony overlooking the pool has a table and two chairs so very pleasant. There is a washing machine and a dryer just outside the unit, and washing powder can be purchased at the reception desk for $2:00 for a small sachet On the whole, it is a nice place but could use a little renovation- there is mold around the shower floor and around the sink, the comforter, although it is covered by a sheet is pretty badly stained. Small nuisance but certainly not expected in a prestige resort.

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.

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.
