Great hotel
Pros:

The room was clean, the pools are amazing, and the stuff were very helpful and welcoming.

Cons:

Location is a bit far from the Main Street, not a walking distance, but just a few minutes car drive. The breakfast was minimal.

Great stay
Pros:

I stayed here for a week during my Australian trip, and it was perfect for the price. The room wasnt the biggest, but it was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I really like the attentive and friendly team members at the desk.

Not a 4 start resort, no room servicing and avoid the breakfast buffet at all cost
Pros:

The room was a great size and the pool was a decent size, plenty of deck chairs. Some staff were friendly and the bed was comfy.

Cons:

I didn’t like that you had to pay to have your room made up, I’ve never heard of this before. And only having towels changed once during your stay is not what I’d expect at a 4 star resort. I felt pretty dirty by the end of my stay. My balcony had cigarettes left on it as well. The hotel breakfast buffet is the worst I’ve ever seen for $25 with no hot food, only toast, cold meats and a DIY coffee machine. I requested some ice at breakfast and was told it wasn’t possible. Really disappointing and will not be returning.

Overpriced but pleasant, and not ideal for people who want to use the pools in cooler weather.
Pros:

The bed was comfy, and the toiletries were marvellous. The resort is walking distance to the beach and restaurants and cafes.

Cons:

The pool area was lovely, but disappointingly cold. I only went into the spa, which was only tepid, and which was taken over by young, noisy children, likely because the main pools were too cold. One of the main reasons for choosing this resort was the pool area, but it was unusable for me. And it was a waste of money investing in a place where the pools were not useable.

The Managers at Mantra are not doing their jobs. Cleanliness should be a priority.
Pros:

I obtained lots of insect bites from the room we rented. Their beds have insects that gave me tons of insect bites on my left arm.

The sink is not draining properly. The hall ways and stairs are narrow and they don’t have lift … if you’re carrying heavy travel bags, you will be disappointed. Honestly, the port Mantra is a waste of money.

Cons:

It’s walking distant from the beach.
