Mantra Sun City Surfers Paradise 3400 Gold Coast Highway, Surfers Paradise, Queensland 4217

"We are hugely enjoying our stay at Mantra Sun City. It's the quintessential holiday destination, the apartment we are staying in is huge, two bedrooms, a generous and well-stocked kitchen, massive living room, no less than three TVs... and the views from the 33rd floor are out of this world. I also enjoyed an awesome workout in the modern and well-equipped gym, beside an epic pool with an actual sandy beach! For anyone who wants a bit of luxury to get away from it all, this is it. I highly recommend this accommodation."

"Pros: The hotel was very clean and tidy! The beds were comfy and the shower was great. The views were fantastic. The wide variety of pools were super enjoyable. We received nice service and the location was very accessible to transport. Cons: Toilet paper ran out unfortunately. The wifi isn’t free and is rather expensive to buy! You’d think for the price that wifi would at least be free. We found that we had to travel some bit to get to food places and restaurants. We also got locked inside the pool area, and it said the pools didn’t close until 10pm! It was 9:45pm and we were stuck in the pool area with no help. Another guest thankfully helped us find another exit. It also would’ve been nice if the room had a toaster or microwave at least."

"Very many ups and downs about our stay in this place. Let me be clear, the staff at the service desk were friendly and very helpful. They had patience and treated us very well. The location is brilliant, close by to the tram and shops. The facilities let us down. There was mold in the hallway lighting and a very distinct musk that was pretty vile at best. There was a lot of aging throughout our room - broken head board, bits of mold in the bathroom, rips and tears in furniture and stains on the carpet and walls. We were scared we'd get fined for damage we didn't do. We were also provided with 1 and a half rolls of toilet paper for an 7 day stay so we had to request for more, but that's not really a biggie. There was no housekeeping during our stay. The breakfast was a waste of money as there was really no good option for my partner who is gluten free. OVERALL great staff and great location, unfortunately we were very unsatisfied with the rooms."

"Great for a family stay on the Gold Coast. Had a large room (we had a 2 bed apartment) and we payed slightly more for ocean views which was well worth it. Room had all facilities we needed. Beach was a short walk and the on-site pool was good (a few issues with kids getting scratched on a large water slide however). People super friendly and helpful. Would definitely return. Enjoyed the stay a lot :-)"

"Amazing experience, staff was awesome Thank you to the lifeguard who explained everything about safety of the slides and pools. Reception staff were amazing. Thank you to Geri who was so amazing, who looked after us during our stay. Geri has such a positive attitude always smiling and greeting guests, I think everyone that come into contact with her was happy"
