My husband & I stayed in the Mantra Esplanade in Cairns for 4 nights, The hotel is in a great location, and clean when we arrived however it was not serviced the whole time we stayed there. When we wanted fresh towels we were asked to pay for each clean towel. If we ran out of tea and coffee, soap or toilet... More

We really enjoyed this place. We rented an apartment for four nights and it was just what we needed after travelling for five weeks in New Zealand ... a comfy, clean, very spacious, private "home" to unwind in. We had a one-bedroom apartment, with large living room, separate dining area, full kitchen, TV in bedroom and living room, balcony overlooking... More

We stayed at the Mantra Esplanade for 4 nights in a 1 bedroom self contained apartment and it was great, the apartment was clean and tidy, the room was a good size and the living area was huge and had a dining table, the balcony was nice and it overlooked the lagoon. The staff were very helpful and friendly when... More

4 of us shared a two bedroom apartment facing the ocean. It was perfect. We could walk to the reef wharf, the park and lagoon were right across the street, the esplanade with its night markets and numerous outdoor cafes was just steps away, we could walk to the Rainforest Dome, the railway station to take the trip to Karunda,...

I found it to be a very nice hotel, the staff extremely nice unlike many places in Melbourne. Very central, which makes it easy for us tourists as we don't all rent a car. Rooms very well maintained. thank you Lena More

The hotel is centrally located in Cairns, and just less than 5 mins walk to the Esplanade, Night Market, Casino, Pier departing to the Great Barrier Reef, and other local attractions in the city. Restaurants and shopping malls are just a few steps away. I stayed in a hotel room, reasonably spacious for 2 of us and the furniture and... More

We booked a night at the Mantra on Cairns Esplanade to celebrate the end of 2011! What we didn't know at the time was that we were getting a free taste of India! From the moment that we exited the elevator and started making our way down the long hallway to our room, all we could smell was curry! Luckily... More
