Great location with ocean views. The decor of the room was lovely. A little disappointed with the lack of small details considering the price point, for example the in-shower conditioner and body wash ran out on the first night, no complimentary room servicing / fresh towels (we stayed three nights), and the TV was quite old (could only watch a movie on DVD but who even has those these days?).

Having been going to Zanzibar for over the 20 years. Live this place. Location amazing. Hotel refreshed very well. Sadly this time just a coupke of things. Would have been nice to know about the construction on the beachfront. The noise at times was terrible. The other inconvenience was the internet service. Wifi was non existent. Meaning no streaming television either. Difficult to get some work done. And no tral effort on behalf of managment. Only told when hotel is full its not very good. Consequently had teenagers complaining which I could have lived without in my vacation time. Hopefully these things are addressed for future. An offer of a small discount due to noise currently would also make a nice gesture during the time of construction. .

We originally checked into an apartment with a lovely view but the pervasive smell of mould, particularly in the back bedrooms. After bringing this to the attention of the receptionist/management, we were moved to another apartment for the rest of our stay. This made the world of difference to our experience.
Zanzibar had spacious apartments with world class views and a great position. Was terrific to overlook beautiful Mooloolaba beach. A favourite place!

A wet but pleasant week.

Of course you never know what the weather will be like, we got rain every day and grey skies and grey seas. So the view was a bit dismal, but with cafes and shops just downstairs , we could still enjoy some holiday vibes without getting too wet. The warm spa is a must or wet weeks.

Perfect family getaway

We had superb family holiday with our kids and grandbabies in 2 side by side units for 14 nights in total.
Zanzibar's location and views are second to none.
We loved waking every morning to spectacular ocean views, and just a quick lift ride down to coffee shops right at our doorstep, followed by a leisurely stroll to the flags and patrolled beaches, then watching the sunset form the balcony. What a great pace! Our units were very comfortable and spotlessly clean.
We did have a hiccup during our stay, but the manger Zoe was very helpful in resolving it for us and we thank her for her assistance.
We highly recommend Zanzibar to couples and families.

The location was fantastic!
Hairy clog found in shower on arrival.
No spare toilet paper and first roll not even full. Had to go to mini mart at 7pm on our second night to get more.
:( Cleaning was not up to scratch for the price. Eg. Behind tv not swept, spider webs on balcony, window sills not wiped, stains on cushions. Beds were very comfy though. Receptionist guy was very nice and helpful too. There were a few too many trees blocking half the view. On these trees were very loud rainbow lorikeets which I usually love but wow they were loud. We had to yell at each other to be heard or shut the door which blocked the view especially during sunset. But, location amazing with everything we needed super close and we did all sleep super well. Kitchen was good to use too. Overall 7/10. Cleaners need to up their game! For almost $500 a night (this was a 3 bedroom apartment on the 7th floor) it would also be good to have enough loo paper....

I had to find an accommodation last minute and went to wotif website and booked mantra Zanzibar, at a 700/night. Then I drived myself to the property and there was no one at their reception, tried to call their number and nobody picked up. So after half hour at their property I had to book another place. When I tried to obtain a refund as I didn’t stay there, they stated they don’t do refunds. Huge scam from wotif and properties like that.

I would have given Zanzibar 10 out of 10 if not for the uncomfortable lounges.
The location, view, rooms and facilities are beautiful and excellent. Sadly our evenings of relaxing in front of a movie didn't work becuase the lounge was too uncomfortable to sit on. This would vary from apartment to apartment but is worth Zanzibar checking on this as it does effect the stay, and people do want to lounge around on holidays. Everything else was supurb.

Having previously stayed at the Zanzibar we were looking forward to having a great view of the ocean. We booked a 2bdrm apartment and were ‘upgraded’ to a 3bdrm however it was on the side of the property with big trees in front of it. The view wasn’t the front-on view we’ve been used to, which was disappointing given the very inflated price we paid.

Poor management

Unfortunately, the unit directly above us was putting in new flooring. On our second day, from 7.30am there was constant banging and noise. The hotel advised that because this unit was privately owned there was nothing they could do -the body corporate was separate to the general management of the hotel. We were not given warning that this was planned nor offered another room when we notified the management. As we were traveling with an infant that needed regular sleep/naps this was not appropriate and we checked out a day early. I was told I would have the final night refunded (this has yet to come through but I was warned it would take some time).
The hotel itself is dated, but appropriate for the price point and area.
