“Excellent family Christmas holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Our family stayed 8 days over Christmas and New Year in a 2 bedroom apartment. The location is excellent, right across the road from the beach, close to shops, restaurants and fast food places. On New Years Eve we were able to watch the fireworks on the ocean right out front of our unit. The pool was warm and we had heaps of fun in there. Our unit was really large, clean and well equipped with a wonderful view, I cooked Christmas dinner for the family and everything we needed was there. The ladies at reception were very friendly and helpful, we couldn't be more impressed and would highly recommend a stay there. All units have an ocean view.

“fantastic location”

My husband daughter and I stayed in a three bedroom apartment for three nights. The location of the Mantra Zanzibar couldn't be better, across the road from the beach and close to shops. We didn't need to get the car out. There are wonderful restaurants and cafes in the area. The unit we stayed in was really large, clean and well equipped with a wonderful view, although the kitchen was starting to look a little tired. The lady at reception was so friendly and helpful, the whole process was a breeze. I would highly recommend at stay at Zanzibar.

Dear thekelly3,

Thank you for your review of your stay with us at Mantra Zanzibar, and it's wonderful to read that like the previous reviewers you enjoyed the spacious apartments and fantastic location that Mantra Zanzibar offers. We truly are in the heart of Mooloolaba and the beach as well as all the shops and restaurants you could need are literally steps away.

Thank you also for your kind words about our Reception staff who are truly one of our greatest assets, and for recommending us to other travellers heading to Mooloolaba. We look forward to welcoming you back to Mantra Zanzibar the next time your travel plans bring you to the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Kind Regards,

Jackson Emblin

“Great location, awesome view from #304”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

Stayed for 4 nights in unit 304 - wow, what a view! The reservation and checkin process (Jacky) was friendly and efficient. Our apartment was ready in the morning so we had an early checkin, which is always a bonus on holidays. Furniture all looked relatively new and the apartment was spotless and well equipped - even had a coffee plunger and beach towels. Beds were comfortable, however the aircon did not seem to be working effectively so the nights were a bit too warm. The only drawback to this property is that the pool is at the back of the building overlooking a carpark but having said that the pool was very clean and the area well maintained, including a couple of BBQ's and large shade sail with table and chairs. Not once did we have to use our car, everything was in walking distance, even Coles for our grocery supplies. Loved Zanzibar, will definitely be back.

Dear MissMoet,

Thanks for taking the time to share the great experience you had with us here at Mantra Zanzibar on TripAdvisor. It was wonderful to read that you loved your stay and enjoyed the view and apartment, and I have passed your fantastic feedback on to Jacky.

You are certainly right about the central location and not needing the car, and I hope you took advantage of the afternoon sun which the pool area receives. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and we look forward to welcoming you back to Mantra Zanzibar for your next stay in Mooloolaba.

Kind Regards,

“Centrally located but work is need on housekeeping.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

Booked 2 apartments for 10 people, was allocated refurnished units at third floor. 3 bedroom was a corner unit with no form of views except from the balcony. New fridge is definitely needed in 306, a layer of dust on the bedside table in the main room too. Other than that, it is centrally located with beautiful views from balcony. Not to forget, thumbs up to the ladies at reception as they have been helpful. Unless there is a great deal, if not i will pay a little more for other resorts around the same area.

“Central position the saving grace.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011 via mobile

Paid big bucks for a 3 bed apartment. Needed central position as one of our party elderly. Apartment is getting shabby. Needs newer dishwasher and other appliances. Why was there polystyrene bits all over the hallways? Love how handy it is, but disappointed by the unit.

Dear EllieFen,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here at Mantra Zanzibar, and let me apologise for the fact that your stay was not as great as it could have been. I'm glad to hear that you found the location handy to everything, and would appreciate you contacting me with the apartment number you stayed in so we can investigate the issues with the appliances further.

With regard to the polystyrene foam in the walkways, this was due to the work on the new gardens on level 2 which you may have seen during your stay. Unfortunately the day they were installing the foam base was quite windy and some small pieces of the foam were blown up the atrium and onto the walkways.

Thank you again for your feedback, and should your travel plans return you to Mooloolaba we would welcome the opportunity to have you stay with us again here at Mantra Zanzibar.

Kind Regards,

Jackson Emblin
