The guest rooms here rate no more than 3-star. While fairly clean and with good beds and fair but small ensuite, they need new carpets and just a bit of care around the edges. Our room was quiet, on the upper level. A bit of money spent on the rooms would lift them to a higher level. Room servicing was good. We booked direct. They are a reasonable price for this region. We were given drink vouchers and breakfast pack each day, and discounted meals in the adjoining hotel, which we enjoyed immensely. The guestrooms are small, but we used the large Kawana Hotel and its marina outlook as our lounge. This made our experience better.

The best stay we've experienced in Australia! We have been to many different towns and many hotels so far and this is by far the best out of them all! Well done and thank you for the pleasant accommodation.

Location is great, however our room (on level 1) overlooked the back / side streets of the hotel and the noise from garbage trucks / children below screaming in their hot tub / roadworks etc., was really loud and started early in the morning and woke us up. Facilities were good - small kitchenette, newly renovated bathroom, 2 x bedrooms, nice 'lounge area' and a lovely balcony - the noise was just a real nuisance. We also had a problem with the water overflowing outside one of the bedrooms late at night, which warranted us contacting the owners to take a look. Gushing noise was right near the bedhead of the bed and we were unable to sleep. Problem was rectified quickly and owners were grateful for being advised of the problem. I've stayed here before but stayed in a 2 bedroom unit overlooking the marina and surf club - much nicer room, further up, less noise. Owners are lovely people to chat with and helpful with information / directions as well. Pool was lovely (cold), spa was lovely and warm. Didn't partake in any food at the hotel during our stay, so can't comment on that. Short of trying to cut back some of the noise from the back streets - it was a pleasant visit.

The apartment is very spacious and with a great view!! The only thing that was bothersome were the beds. They are very thin and hard. So every morning our backs were killing us. But to be honest it was not a deal breaker. We were super close to the beach, shops, and many restaurants!

Hay was going to write this as the review for the hotel – is it to harsh or am I missing something If you were to rate this place based on location it is five star for sure. I wish everything else had the same rating. This place is well positioned on the promenade, close to shops, places to eat and across the road from the beach. However, the building is outdated, the singular lift is old and if you have phobia of elevators do not use it, it bounces and they have had to put a sign up not to bounce or jump otherwise it will stop. The building operates a garbage shoot which is great in concept, however it was clogged up and the smell was putrid, it was so bad we felt sick every time we waited for the elevator and it began to come into the apartment. We advised the team a couple of times over the week, but nothing had changed. The rooms were ok, mattress quite hard and uncomfortable but the rest of the three bedroom apartment was spacious.

Fantastic stay over Easter. We were in a non-ocean view apartment that still had a lovely view of the ocean, if blocked a little by surrounding apartment blocks. Service from the reception was fantastic with nothing too difficult. The Mantra itself is ideally located to make the most of the Mooloolaba strip. The apartment was really comfortable and had all the kitchen essentials for cooking when you can't be bothered going out. We even found there was a special path to the local Coles supermarket for hotel guests that made it so simple to go shopping. Will definitely be back to try an ocean view apartment.
