“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We have been back to this hotel several times over the last few years for short breaks at the Sunshine Coast for business and pleasure with older teenagers. Every room has a view of the ocean and the rooms come in various sizes from one to three bedroom apartments all with small kitchenettes. We have purchased food from the supermarket next door and self catered on some stays and on others eaten out for all meals. You are right on the Esplanade with dozens of restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes. The area is great for the beach. The walkways are busy with runners, joggers and parents with strollers from dawn 'til dusk. You can hop on the bus to take you as far as Noosa or Maroochydore for a shopping centre experience. Nearby is Underwater World. It would be a good walk from the Mantra. There is and indoor pool and gym which is popular in bad weather and there is a lovely outdoor pool with adjacent BBQ facility. There are inhouse movies and secure parking.

“Great place, great pool and close to the beach!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times. The pool and spas are great for the whole family. They have and indoor pool which is lots of fun, particular when its pouring rain. Just as it did when we went. They offer towels for the pool and beach which is convenient and there location is so close to the resturant strip which makes it very easy. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk. The views from most of the rooms are fabulous.
The one bedroom apartments are pretty small however and the kitchens have limited cooking facilities but with Coles literally 5 meters away from the doorstep so easy to buy food such as a roast chicken and the many bbq's on site there isn't really much of a problem getting a meal together for the family.

Room Tip: The very corner rooms are larger but have limited views.

“Spoil yourself”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I travelled with my husband and teenage daughter January 2011, and were visiting several friends in different cities. I was having trouble finding short stay accomodation on-line with 2 rooms (anywhere near friends). I saw this availability on Expedia and, although a little more than we would normally pay, we decided on 'splurging' for the night. All I booked was a 2 bedroom and I'd answered a question re whether we wanted floors 1-5 or floors above that, which I'd answered with 'above'.

Although we expected a lovely place, we were, I think, 11 floors up overlooking the sea with views along the coastline. The 'room' was a tasteful self-contained apartment with full kitchen, laundry, stunning glass enclosed spa in the master bedroom, huge balcony

Everything was provided for a comfortable stay, from hairdryer to laundry liquid sachets. Of course, we had paid for a high standard, but even after the initial surprise, there was no let-down. Everything was clean (even under furniture and on top of high things). Staff were lovely, though we didn't see much of them as we had no needs past booking in and booking out.

We aren't the shopping kind though our daughter is, which is one of the reasons we booked here, but we all found plenty to look at and to buy in the range of boutique shops outside. We had so many choices of different places to eat, from cafes to restaurants with sheltered outdoor eating to irish style 'pub' with entertainment. Didn't even think of getting in the car or ordering in.

It was a little damp and breezy when we were there, but we were able to at least go for a walk along the beach, which is across the road.

Highly recommend this resort. I noted that other reviewers have had experiences where rooms have not been clean, minimum stay, etc. I also noticed that one reviewer suggested the apartments are individually owned. I wonder how this affects individual experiences? I would hope that the management standard would be 'across the board' in such an establishment.

Room Tip: A few floors up to catch the amazing view...or just walk across the road to see it.

Friendly staff. Would have been great view if we had been given a room on a higher floor. Good location near beach and restaurant strip. Stayed 3 nights: no cleaning or towel changing services. Room smelt of fried food.

“great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Stayed at this hotel in mid December and had agreat time. Hotel location is accross from the beach and a short walk where you can swim. Appears to have beach views from most rooms and our was great.
Particularly like the bathroom /shower which could see into the lounge area (but could have curtain for privacy. Pool was not the biggest but more than suitabe for us, even though we rotated with beach. Service was good
