We stayed at this property earlier this month and we found the three room unit itself quite adequate for our needs, however we would not stay there again. The complex appeared almost empty and so I found it strange that we were put in a ground floor unit which looked out onto a large retaining wall. Quite dark and depressing... More

Only stayed 1 night in a 2bedroom, though pricey it was very nice big and clean. Did not use the pool as it was raining, though looked very nice. It is only a short walk to town and is very central. More

We enjoyed our stay at Mantra Aqua. We stayed 5 nights - 2 rooms. We arrived quite late for check in and missed their reception opening hours. The after hours check in was easy enough. The apartment itself is clean and conveniently located. You can walk to the marinas and ample choice of restaurants nearby. We booked 2 rooms under... More

Looking for two bedroom accommodation early evening we found we were limited to a few choices. But upon inspecting the room at Mantra Aqua we were more than happy with the outcome. Although we were hoping for a sea view we had a pool view with a good deck to enjoy a few drinks. The Mantra had a nice pool... More

Stayed here for four nights overlapping the end of school holidays in a two bedroom apartment. Staff were friendly on check in and with questions about activities. Also had to get a few maintenance issues sorted which were attended to promptly. Had read a few reviews noting the absence of any views, unfortunately there are not going to be many... More

Just spent wonderful family time in a 3 bedroom apartment at this lovely resort. Family and friends had nothing but praise & all positive comments were made on how the units & facilities were so child friendly. As the grandparents we too thought it was a lovely place. Being the end of school holidays was probably very good for us.... More

Thank you so much for the great review of our resort. We really appreciate hearing about your experience with us and receiving the positive feedback. You are correct in saying the pool is a busy place over the summer months and if guests are looking for a quieter stay we do suggest the apartments around the back of the building... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights with another couple. The 2 bedroom unit was clean, but nothing to rave about. Probably a good place for families with young children, the pool/spa were very crowded and noisy. Perhaps a room facing away from the pool might have been better. Noise levels seem to be a problem here. We... More
