It may be a small thing but when we arrived in our apartment, which we had upgraded to at the hotels suggestion, there was no remote for the TV. Each day the reason for the absence of the remote was different but I was assured the problem would be fixed "tomorrow". Of course this did not happen and when queried... More

Fantastic self contained apartments - yes, but to call this place a resort or a hotel is stretching it. To me, a resort implies impeccable service and wonderful facilities. If you are looking for nice self contained accomodation (meaning no room service, no housekeeping, no making of the beds, no after hours reception, no assistance with bags) and you are... More

A very good place to stay,we had a 1 bedroom apartment for 3 nights last week. Good sized room, very clean with everything you needed. As it is not a full service hotel, it was good to have a laundry to wash towels, they also supplied you with 1 beach towel. We arrived on a very warm afternoon, so it... More

Service is non existent, beds are rock hard, pillows are also hard flat and uncomfortable. I am in so much pain, it's distressing. When I called to complain, I was curtly told that nothing can be done until a bed topper becomes available - maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $30 per night and...

Dear Nuritbee, It is disappointing to read your review as this certainly does not reflect our recent conversation. As we continue to roll out the install of over 50 mattress toppers, we have some in reserve for those special requests like your own.

This hotel was a great value. The location is amazing. It's not a full service hotel and you have to realize that going in, but the staff there is knowledgeable and can help book things and make recommendations. You just don't get linen and cleaning services like a full service hotel. We had a 2 bedroom condo that came complete... More

We booked a 1-bed apartment at the Mantra for four nights. We thought it might be a good idea to change from hotel stays during our 3 1/2-week tour across Eastern Australia. We booked sea views which we had but because our balcony (a loggia really) was completely enclosed it proved unbearable to sit outside - there was simply no... More

We stayed in a 1 bedroom spa apartment; the room was immaculately clean and very well presented with excellent amenities. The resort is in an excellent location directly across from the beach and very central. The pool is incredibly stunning especially at night. I highly recommend the Mantra Amphora, and will definitely stay here again. More

We stayed for a week with the Mantra and were pleased with the standard of the hotel & the facilities. The pool was great for the kids with the varying heights (2 boys aged 7 & 9) and the spa, they had great fun jumping from one to the other.
