Fantastic location easy walk to everything with undercover parking. Great clean apartment, though looking a little tired, could do with minor upgrades. Comfortable bed. We had a pool view balcony, it’s worth consider special request if you prefer morning or afternoon sun on your balcony. Only downside was being top floor the balcony had no roof & no shade in daytime. Pool lovely & spa warm. Staff friendly & helpful

Great location, walking distance to everything in Nelson’s bay. The rooms were quite outdated though, lounge had stains on it, air con only at one end of the room and second shower didn’t work.

The room was very very dirty. Rooms are not maintained and there are food crumbles left by previous customers. We can understand we arrive at a public holiday day but this is not an excuse for the lack of very basic quality of a service product. I am really disappointed for this place.

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.
