“Great location, pleasant but not great”
Location was ideal, however, cannot walk after dark to Coles/Woolworths, without being harassed for money by some locals.

“Lovely location but a little poorly maintained.”
The room was spacious and separate from the living area. The balcony and the view is lovely, spacious with acceptable furniture. It was great to sit outside and watch the sunset.

“Think twice. Before staying there again.”
No breakfast supplied or available. Corridors were extremely cold. Uncomfortable. Reception staff don’t smile.

I booked the one bedroom apartment with balcony and sea view. Everything one would need was available. Comfortable bed and beautiful view. Mantra on the esplanade is close to everything, beach, shopping centre and the markets. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and can definitely recommend this hotel. Staff were lovely and most helpful. Thanks Mantra 🙂.
