Having stayed in many Mantra properties, I was really surprised by this one. While Mantra Amphora looks charming from the outside, it’s in serious need of some love and updates. The pool area is spacious and attractive, but the plastic lounge chairs were uncomfortable and had no cushions — you’ll need a few towels just to make it bearable. The room was a letdown. The jacuzzi barely worked, the bathroom fixtures were old, the tap leaked, the toilet seat was loose, and the flush was worn out. The “coffee fridge” area was fine, and the bed, while firm, was still comfortable. The TV wasn’t smart and had limited options — not a big deal for me, but worth noting. The worst part was the noise. I could hear everything — people watching TV next door, toilets flushing above — the walls are paper-thin. On the positive side, the staff were lovely, especially the woman at check-in, and I appreciated being able to use the back bathroom for a good shower before leaving. Sadly, this stay didn’t meet the standard I’ve come to expect from Mantra. With some care and updates, it could be great — but it’s not there yet.

Nice property but far from the city and Reef Terminal in Cairns. Property could recommend closer options for water sports. I ended up renting a car once I realized how far it was from the Cairns Marlin Marina. The property did not have an elevator make sure you can carry you bags the 3 plus flights Palm Cove is quaint. The restaurants in the area walkable from the property.

This is not a regular hotel with amenities, only go here if you're on a tight budget and prefer apartment style with substandard cleaniness No elevators... So lug your luggage to your floor. i would avoid it. Only pro was that it is walking distance to palm cove Beach.
