I had previously stayed here with my wife & 1 year old, we returned 2 years later with my elderly parents and newborn & honestly wouldn’t stay again. I considered booking the easier accessible shoal bay Ramada hotel, but when I looked at booking on their website it mentioned “be advised some local construction taking place”. As such booked Mantra. When we arrived, the entrance is closed as there’s construction vehicles across the entrance dropping off bits to the construction site, the mantra hotel sits within the shadow of. Not only that, but 1/3 of the swimming pool is closed for construction, leaving the entry ramp for my elderly parents & pram for newborn closed, leaving pool inaccessible for them. Nothing had been mentioned upon booking. Also our neighbouring apartment, which must be an owner-resident felt the need to shout at my now 3 year old whilst walking down to the swimming pool as they were “too loud and disturbing their afternoon nap”. Not family friendly in the slightest. Extremely disappointed for me parents once in 3 years trip to Australia.

The rooms were clean, and location was convenient. It was quiet and relaxing almost entire stay, until our last night of stay. Some guests decided to have a pool party, which lasted until well over 3 am in the morning. We could not sleep! As we were travelling back home next morning, 3 hours driving, it was not appreciated. I know that it was not Mantras fault, but their security staff should have intervened and put a stop to it. Apart from that everything else was great. We will go back again.

Pool looks huge in the pics, it isnt and for us, full of kids. Property is very tired and not properly cleaned or maintained. Toilets seats dont fit; 2 rolls of toilet paper provided super thin; fridge light doesn't work; no air in master bedroom, just one small window locked so you cant full open; no aircon in the bedrooms. Because there's no airflow through the 2 bedrooms they were dusty for us, wont be like this for everyone, just those sensitive to dust. Balcony is tiny with a small table and only 3 seats lol. Check in is after 3pm (quite late), we arrived 2:50pm and told the room not ready. The leather lounge is comfortable and theres a big TV (we connect our apple TV) but internet (Optus) is very poor. Very handy to walk a few blocks down to the shops and waterfront. NERO's ice cream is a must visit. Two large building sites between the Mantra and the water view. We were on level 2 which is really level 3, we did have a small view, not sure about lower levels. Disappointing, booked and paid for 5 nights but left after 3.
no care with the cleaning
did not feel clean in the shower, lots os scum on the tiles as well
both toilet seats dont fit
built up scum
