Mantra Esplanade Cairns

Great location on the Esplanade; very helpful Front Desk staff; well appointed rooms which are only serviced for stays of more than 8 days which was is acceptable [regular servicing available for a fee]. More of an Apartment building than hotel - this suited us fine. The pool area was in the shade for stay [late July] but the Esplanade lagoon is opposite. Would stay here again.

Absolutely superb location for us. Everything within walking distance, supermarket across the road, Esplanade Lagoon right in front, 3 minutes walking distance to the Reef Fleet Terminal where the Great Barrier Reef tours depart, 3 minutes walking distance to the pier restaurants, harbour, etc. Great service. Will definitely stay again if we ever return to Cairns.

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. We arrived early in the morning and the lady on the desk was very happy to look after our luggage until check-in time. The check in was quick and the staff were very friendly. We had booked 5 hotel rooms and all rooms were upgraded to one bedroom apartments which was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were spotless and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. There was a TV in the lounge room and a smaller one in the bedroom. The location was excellent.

We booked a 2br unit and got a dual occupancy which was fantastic for 2 singles. Location is excellent right on the Esplanande but also very quiet. Free parking too. Would stay again and recommend this hotel.

Extremely please with our hotel room with a balcony. Being a hotel room they are usually very tiny this one wasn't it had plenty of room and a great view of the harbour. Would stay there again it was a fabulous location straight out into the shops.

Elegant and modern decor, very well maintained, 2 bedroom unit is very large with plenty of space for entire family, across the street from the marina and in the middle of shopping and restaurants.

excellent location - great to have cooking and laundry facilities in room - huge bed - very close to everything

We absolutely loved our stay at the Mantra Esplanade and would recommend it. We had a 2 bedroom which gave us lots of room. The hotel was located on the esplanade, across from the lagoon and the location for booking/boarding activities. The hotel booked a couple of the activities for us, greeted us by name every day and answered all of our questions. The apartment was upscale and had everything we needed to prepare breakfast and pack lunches. It is also situated close to restaurants and a grocery store. I would look for a Mantra accommodation for our next vacation.

Location was excellent, nice and close to the marina. We were a little disappointed as there were constantly ants in the bathroom, on the bedside tables and the bed itself. We mentioned this to the staff but they reported it normal due to the tropical weather and did not offer to do anything about it. We did not have this problem with the other places we stayed at in the same area afterwards. Also, the staff was not very knowledgeable nor helpful about how to get to places (such as where to catch a bus to Palm Cove) which was also a little disappointing.

I am a Cairns local and stayed at this Hotel on New Year Eve, everything was fantastic except for the parking, with some many locals staying it was a problem, not enough spaces. But location etc is great.
