The buffet breakfast was very good with a larger variety than others we had experienced. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was tight and we were wondering why some got rooms with assigned parking and others had to compete for the limited spaces. I had no idea this would be the situation or I might have been willing to pay for not having to worry about parking. Once parked, we were afraid to go anywhere with the car for fear that we wouldn’t be able to park on return. There was also a convention going on at the hotel, which made the entry and exit tricky as the hotel had set up a large tent near the lobby doors. We had to drive in to the lobby area for check-in / checkout and then back out the same way we came in. The lobby was noisy and crowded, but the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and the proximity to a beautiful beach was a plus.

This time stayed in lovely Heritage room on top floor with views across to ocean..room and bathroom large, great posters of Lorne, huge superb bed, and nice big bath/shower, although would be hard for elderly or leg problems as high sides and slippery. Adequate balcony for 4 to sit, furniture provided. Coffee machine welcome and crockery and cutlery if needed. We enjoyed excellent buffet breakfast included. Another great stay, thanks Mantra!!

We enjoyed our 5-night stay. We felt safe and it was very quiet. The room was convenient and had everything we needed. When i couldn't get the dishwasher to work, I called reception and they sent maintenance over. We went out and came back to the dishwasher being on. The apartment is in need of some paint and some TLC but it was fit for purpose.

I thought it was a bit weird when I went down to reception and asked if I could get the room vacuumed because of biscuit crumbs and the vacuum was dropped off for me to do myself. I mean I'm not adverse to doing vacuuming on holidays but is this your policy, do it yourself? Apart from that, the buffet breakfast was average, there was only one type of cheese and the menu did not cater for international guests. And maybe just have a Bain Marie with poached eggs ready for people to take as the ordering system seems a bit superfluous. The frittatas are in little patty pans and most of it sticks to the patty pan as they don't use oil. I've been to buffet breakfasts around the world and it just seemed a little bit lackluster to me. None of the salt shakers work, they need to buy new Pepper and Salt shakers for every table. Also I think the Mantra has had its day, it seems dated for the price you pay. The shower head does not even have a hand held option for adjustable height and rinsing, just the old fashioned small inflexible shower rose. I'm being petty but I paid a lot so I have certain expectations for the tariff.

All round an ok stay, nothing special. Annoyingly I asked for early check in as I had an event with a 1pm arrival, asking for a 12:30 check in. They could not accommodate, and I was late.

The location and parking are great here, and the rooms are fine.

During our stay, tradesmen were renovating a downstairs apartment. The noise wasn't too bad, but downstairs and in the adjacement block there were occasional drill and banging sounds. The apartment was clean, but just showing some signs of wear and tear, but everything worked and was modern. Amenities like soaps and great variety of teas and drink included. My only negative would be that the sofa bed was folded out when we arrived and was in the middle of the small living area, taking up almost all of the living room area, and we paid for the \"ocean view\" apartment, which I think is a bit misleading as it faces the tennis courts and the green area, which is nice, but the ocean is definitely not the predominant view. You can hear the ocean easily but there was another apartment block between us and the ocean and it is this block that was in the photos and I thought we were booking. That block however looked to be almost entirely undergoing renovations. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, top quality and very good price and great service. I would stay there again, but I would be clear about the room and orientation I was booking. ps. could do with some extra blankets in the room, had to leave the heater on overnight.

After 2 nights staying we discovered that the “curry” smell in the apartment was because previous occupants hadn’t properly cleaned the plates. After running all crockery and glassware through the dishwasher this was much better. Found that overall the apartments cleanliness was average with finger prints on the sliding doors, balcony hadn’t been swept or cleaned and overall the decor looks tired compared to other units we have stayed in before.
