Uncomfortable beds, lumpy pillows and above a pub. If you value your sleep do not stay here.The room was average for what it was and not very clean. Cutlery and plates supplied had been used before and not cleaned before being put away.The pool was dirty with bandaids floatng in it mould around the interior and so dirty people had... More

Returned from a lovely 4 night stay at the mantra. The hotel was great, lovely clean room, friendly and helpful staff and the location is amazing, right opposite the Esplanade pool. The hotel also has a pool, gym and jacuzzi which is great. Also would recommend the courthouse restaurant and bar within the complex, great food and very reasonably priced. More

The location is incredible and you can't ask for a better spot. Our room had a view of the lagoon which was great. We could also see the jetty... More

We were impressed when we pulled up outside, the lobby is very nice. We booked a double room, the room was very spacious, clean and had a balcony that looked onto the street and you can see the lagoon. The hotel itself is right on the Esplanade in Cairns and across from the lagoon. Which is nice to go swim... More
