The team at reception wete great and very helpful. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 was that the TV channels were very slow and at time had no reception at all. The pay for view channels were poor and the local channels ABC, 7, 9, 10 were not much better. Beautiful place to stay though. 🙏👍🙂

Room was nice and big and very spacious. A very Comfortable longe Pool was lots of fun and a good size too Close walking distance to shops And marina. The only down side was the view as the top end of building is now completely blocked by a new high rise apartment being built it from of it. (Luckily I got a cheap price for room on Wotif as if I had had to pay the normal price I definitely wouldn’t have been happy and would have asked for another apartment)

Our stay at the Mantra Aqua in Nelson Bay felt like an absolute scam.We had booked two nights in a superior resort view room and what we got was a neglected,dirty,grimy and mouldy appartment that overlooked a construction site. We were shocked that this apartment is even rented out as it had so much wrong with it. To top it off,our balcony sat right over the communal smoko corner for staff and residents so none of the ‘we are a smoke free complex’…unbelievable. When approached about the state of the apartment,staff responded that ‘the photos on our website are only indicative and perhaps next time we should not book with Wotif,but with them directly so they can give us a room that is more to our taste’,go figure…We are absolutely appalled by what happened to us-please read this before you book as we are sure this is a known issue with resort staff. We feel betrayed and scammed and would never stay at the Mantra Aqua again!!!

I had previously stayed here with my wife & 1 year old, we returned 2 years later with my elderly parents and newborn & honestly wouldn’t stay again. I considered booking the easier accessible shoal bay Ramada hotel, but when I looked at booking on their website it mentioned “be advised some local construction taking place”. As such booked Mantra. When we arrived, the entrance is closed as there’s construction vehicles across the entrance dropping off bits to the construction site, the mantra hotel sits within the shadow of. Not only that, but 1/3 of the swimming pool is closed for construction, leaving the entry ramp for my elderly parents & pram for newborn closed, leaving pool inaccessible for them. Nothing had been mentioned upon booking. Also our neighbouring apartment, which must be an owner-resident felt the need to shout at my now 3 year old whilst walking down to the swimming pool as they were “too loud and disturbing their afternoon nap”. Not family friendly in the slightest. Extremely disappointed for me parents once in 3 years trip to Australia.

The rooms were clean, and location was convenient. It was quiet and relaxing almost entire stay, until our last night of stay. Some guests decided to have a pool party, which lasted until well over 3 am in the morning. We could not sleep! As we were travelling back home next morning, 3 hours driving, it was not appreciated. I know that it was not Mantras fault, but their security staff should have intervened and put a stop to it. Apart from that everything else was great. We will go back again.
