Very pleasant ”

We stayed for 5 nights and it was very pleasant and relaxing despite the scorching weather in January. Lovely staffs, good sized clean room with kitchen and laundry facilities, value for money and icing on the cake is the location. We will definitely stay there for our next visit , actually wouldn't wven think of staying anywhere else next year holidays that we have planned. Highly recommended especially for families.

1 Bedroom City View Apartment

Fantastic location and value for money room”

I extended my stay and moved to a 1-bedroom city view apartment for 4 nights. This room had everything you could need for a longer stay. It was clean, a great size apartment, a decent size balcony for enjoying a beer on, and the bed was comfortable enough. I didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice. The gym was unfortunately closed (I assume due to Covid). As others have mentioned, there was no housekeeping during my stay in this room. Would it have been nice to have it cleaned? Yes. Was it really needed? No. The location is nothing short of fantastic for your stay in Cairns. Close to the quay for your reef tour, close to some great bars, yet far enough that they don’t keep you up unless you’re there yourself, directly across from the lagoon for a swim, the Cairns Art Gallery next door, and across from the boardwalk. The staff were welcoming and accommodating the few times I needed anything. Would stay here again pretty happily.

Fantastic location”

I booked a city view room for 5 nights. It was clean, a decent size balcony for enjoying a beer on with a view that overlooked the mountains (and subsequent sunset), and the bed was comfortable enough. I didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice. The room itself was a bit dated with the furniture scratched. If you have the ‘we’re only sleeping in it’ attitude, you’ll be fine with this, but it probably needs a bit of a makeover. The location makes up for this and is nothing short of fantastic for your stay in Cairns. Close to the quay for your reef tour, close to some great bars, yet far enough that they don’t keep you up unless you’re there yourself, directly across from the lagoon for a swim, the Cairns Art Gallery next door, and across from the boardwalk. The staff were welcoming and accommodating the few times I needed anything. Would stay here again pretty happily but would probably opt for the one bedroom room which I did when I extended my trip (see other review).

Pros & Cons”

PROS- Great location on the esplanade & you can go through the back of the property & Woolworths is 1 minute walk. Room 323 was nice, balcony big & had a view of the lagoon. Staff friendly, toiletries were beautiful such a lovely fragrance, rooms aren’t maintained daily ( we didn’t mind & we asked a cleaner when we required more toilet paper etc. CONS- Shower over the bath, no face washers provided , you have to boil the kettle in bathroom right next to toilet, pool area is small & as it doesn’t get any sun it was freezing in July, spa also freezing, they both are supposed to be set at 29 degrees, we were informed by a staff member. Wifi access is free for 2 hours, however we had no access during evenings, so had to hotspot from our phones. Lastly not Mantras fault, the lagoon closed for maintenance half way through our stay and is shut for about 3 weeks. Would not stay here again, due to the pool area, I enjoy sitting next to a pool in the sun and/or being able to have a warm spa, in the cooler months, temp averaged 24/25 when we were there. If this isn’t going to bother you, you can’t beat the location.
