“Old and out dated!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Booked a two bedroom apartment with private spa on the balcony here for the weekend. Looking at the photos online it looked very nice. Got to our room and was disappointed with it...Space was a plus having two young children but that's as good as it got! The whole apartment was so dirty it wouldn't stack up to anyone's standards!...

“Room 1004, stay away”

Ok before I go ahead, this so called penthouse is far from it. G1 holidays not informative but the worse customer service was from the mantra reception staff. View is great, the top level is great with spa but that's it. The furniture is old, the TV is older yes it's a penthouse. Will not stay here again that's for... More

Dear Monson08, We have received your review of apartment 1004 here at Zanzibar, which as you noted was rented from G1 Holidays and not us here at Mantra Zanzibar. Sorry to hear that you found their penthouse failed to meet your expectations and their staff un-informative. You are welcome to contact me directly regarding the lack of service from our... More

Had a fantastic stay at Mantra Zanzibar. From the moment we checked in until the moment we left the team was just very helpful and friendly. The apartment was extremely clean and tidy, kitchen was very well stocked with enough glass and crockery for a large group of people.

Just spent several nights here in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment. The apartment was incredibly well stocked in the kitchen and had everything we needed (and more!) and was very clean and tidy.

“Really spacious unit and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

I was very impressed with the layout and spaciousness of the apartment that we had. Although originally booking a 2 bedroom apartment they placed us in a 3 bedroom apartment and it was very much appreciated. Very open lounge/dining area and good size kitchen. The only "negative" I could say is that we were directly above what must be the... More

“Great family mini break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2013

Wow!!! Our mini break was much needed and although we knew we'd pay a bit more being school holidays, it was well worth it. We stayed in a standard 2 bedroom apartment and it was perfect for our family of 4. The room was beautiful and felt very luxurious...better than imagined...modern, trendy and immaculate - no problems at all. The... More

“First Class Location... Nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2013

3 lovely nights in the 10th floor penthouse for our visit to the Sunshine Coast, Mooloolaba 2013 Triathlon. (No, young family/friends competing... not me). The Zanzibar is a very pleasant, relaxing place to stay. Very close to everything... Surf Club (nice!) restaurants, pubs, shopping... but that's Mooloolaba! Moloolaba and The Zanzibar... a great combination. Recommended!

Dear ozenewsman, Thanks for your review of your stay at Zanzibar, and from your comments about the signs saying you "can't touch the glass" it sounds like you also stayed in an apartment managed by G1 Holidays who unfortunately have totally different rules imposed on their guests than us here at Mantra Zanzibar.

I stayed in the Mantra Zanzibar because of it's location. The apartment was high spec with the most beautiful ocean views. It's close to restaurants, bars, shopping and surf clubs.

Hi Tracey367, Thank you for your review of your recent stay at Zanzibar, however to clarify you actually booked and stayed in an apartment managed by G1 Holidays, an offsite agency who do not have any association with the Mantra Group. I hope their "amusing" rules such as not touching the glass did not have too much of an impact... More
