Everything was great except the foreshore construction. Not Mantra's fault but should have communica
Pros:

Location was great.
View was great.

Cons:

Weekend was spoiled by the noise of the construction work on the foreshore. If I had have known before hand, I would have booked the Mantra at the other end of esplanade. This should have been communicated.

overall, good stay. Would stay again.
Pros:

Room was spacious and clean. Lovely ocean view from balcony. Great location, right below are restaurants and cafes. Coffee pod machine in room was great. Approx. 500m walk to swimming flag area.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have a few essentials provided in the kitchen (such as salt and pepper) to avoid having to buy these items. Pool area is dated. The only shade sail is broken, so there is no shade in pool area at all. It would have been great to be able to "borrow" a cabana or umbrella from property for the beach, as some other hotels offer. Lastly, the boardwalk works is a little loud in the mornings and deters from the view but it affects the entire beachfront so not much can be done about that.
