I stayed here for Christmas night, one night only with my daughter. We booked the hinterland spa studio room. The rates were quite high but I booked approx 6 weeks in advance and managed to escape the 3 night minimum they were asking for later in December. I am very relieved I was not here for 3 nights! The pool... more

We booked for 3 nights on line and it turned out to be a Real Estate Agent right next door to the Mantra, who rents out the apartments which are privately owned by 3rd party owners (not The Mantra). Note that if you don’t book directly with the Mantra, the Mantra staff can’t help you much. On our arrival the... more

My wife and I stayed here with our 1 year old son and 2 year old daughter. We were on the second floor with views over the pool to the beach. The room was clean and had all apartment like amenities (kitchen and laundry with pots pans utensils, washing machine dryer etc). The pool is fantastic especially the shallow end... more

We stayed at the Mantra Ettalong beach in Jul 2009. We have 4 adults sharing one 2 bedroom apt and 2 adults and a 2 years old staying in a 1 bedroom apt. The 1 bed apt is very spacious and has all the items you required ie kitchen utensils, washing machine, dryer, spa bath, king bed etc. There is... more

The hotel is quite spacious and modern and the room we stayed in was a decent size with a kitchen and laundry. The shower / spa bath was great and the room quite neat, however it is hard to get to sleep on a friday or saturday night as we were on floor one and got all the noise from... more

Their website says Guarenteed water views, against certain room types, so booked a Deluxe one Bedroom for a 3 n ight stay, why else would you stay there if you don't get a water view right. Checked in to be told our room was on the pool deck, and no view, just of the pool, and no chance of moving... more

I went to the mantra with my partner over the easter weekend, when we checked in I was asked to show my credit card, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE the girl took $100 and put it on hold! When you check out the money is returned to your account 5 days later!! When we were given our room number we were dismayed... more

We stayed there 3 times in the last year. Recently we stayed in a 2 bedroom unit and that was disappointing. While the bedrooms are good and big, the lounge/kitchen area is very small for 4 people. The main balcony if off one of the bedrooms, so unless you are staying in that bedroom, you cannot even have a coffeee... more

We read the reviews after we booked this hotel & then got worried! I think all the comments have some validity, but it really depends where & when you are in this complex. We just wanted to "get away from everything" and were very happy staying here. Rooms are modern, clean and well maintained. And the view is amazing (... more
