We stayed 5 nights in pool view room top floor. Gorgeous. Couldn't stay out of the beautiful pools nor resist the cocktails at happy hour at poor bar! Unit is modern, clean & fully kitchen equipped if you wish to cook meals. Location is short distance from main street in Port Douglas. 2 mins by car, 20 mins by walking.... More

We had a great time staying at Mantra PortSea. Right near the ocean, a short walk to the main street. Pool Bar with food also available there, tennis court, internet cafe, great pools. A great place to stay. The only downside was the rooms, while they were clean, I think they were in need of a renovation. And the fact... More

Recently visited Port Douglas and only left a few days ago. Had a great time and more importantly the facilities provided at the Mantra Portsea were great for us adults and kids alike.

We moved to the Mantra from Bay Villas which were disappointing. We had a corner swim up room, well it was like a house, it included kitchen, full laundry facilities, lounge with wall tv and comprehensive channels, outside jacquzzi bath and table and chairs and town is literally around the corner. Hotel was spotlessly clean, pool was lovely although the... More

Hello Lynn and Dave Thank you for your wonderful review. I think there is a chance you have reviewed a different hotel however as we do not have swim up rooms nor laundry facilities in the rooms. At Mantra Portsea we have two guest laundries. It is wonderful that you had a great holiday. Kind regards Helen More

Having never been to North Queensland we were dubious about where to stay. We booked a hotel room for a week and loved all it provided. If we didn't want to eat out there were BBQ facilities provided. Although we ate out every night making the most of the wonderful food on offer up there! Loved the pools and the... More

We stayed at the Mantra Portsea in September 2011 and just loved it. Perhaps it was the warmth of beautiful Port Douglas as we escaped a Victorian winter lazing around the pools, or maybe it was the great deal we got by calling the Mantra phone line. The phone offer was better than Wotif because the operator could tailor the... More

I am an ex travel agent and have travelled extensively staying in everything from basic self catering to 7 star luxury. Mantra Portsea is exactly what is says on the tin, great low cost self catering accommodation on the beach with ample facilities nearby and the town only 10 mins walk or a $3 bus ride door to door.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such an accurate description of our resort. I'm so glad you mentioned the realities of life in the tropics. It can be quite a surprise for guests from temperate climates to discover wildlife right in town. For nature lovers it is wondrous when they discover an enormous moth to photograph, a white... More

We have stayed at the Portsea every year for the past 4 years and every time it is all we could want. It has a fantastic pool, clean rooms which are self-contained and its close enough to everything in Port Douglas. Its a great walk into town - a fantastic opportunity to walk dinner off of a night! Sure, its... More

Having enjoyed Mantra, Melbourne, this Mantra apartment was disappointing. The welcome from the receptionist was excellent but we had to see ourselves (and our substantial amount of luggage) to the apartment which was small and very basic. The breakfast left much to be desired (I advised the front desk of my complaints) but as it did not improve, we fended... More

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay. Most people book an unserviced rate at Mantra Portsea as it is more cost effective, however daily servicing can be booked for an additional fee at any stage during a guest's stay.
