Cairns and Barrier Reef, Queensland hotel rooms at the Mantra

"10 min from the airport and a 20 min walk from the central shopping / restaurant area along the lovely esplanade. The staff was super helpful storing our bags when we arrived early and when we were leaving late on the back end of our stay. The rooms were clean and nearly all have balconies. The pool is also nice. We did not take advantage of the restaurant but it was clean with a cute garden. I'm sure it's just as lovely as the rest of the property. A solid stay for anyone exploring Cairns over the long weekend."

"Excellent "

"Not much information giving to us when we arrived. Everything was well kept and the pool was fabulous. Things we were not informed of were things like umbrella use, bikes for hire, when we asked about transport one of the staff gave us a look like we should know. Being out of country these things would have beneficail"

"We loved this property! It is so close to the ferry terminal so if you’re going to the reef is very convenient to just walk right over there and get on your boat. There are also tons of restaurants, especially Asian varieties for dining options as well as a night market. I would totally stay here again."

"Nice and quiet...Privacy...close to the bus stop..👍🙏"

"Pool is my favorite! "

"Lovely hotel in the heart of Carines Esplanade. Walking distance to all major attractions (night market, lagoon, reef, rusty's and shopping) and transport (central train station for Kuranda train and buses). Very helpful staff (Ricardo and Manuel especially). Hotel was very clean, rooms were too and well appointed (espresso machine, slippers, robes). Lovely shower and Origins branded bath products (look in the drawer under the sink, it actually pulls out and contains some essentials). Only negatives were slightly musty smell of rooms, but that goes away once AC turns on, likely due to climate, and lobby needs a ramp for lugagge. I did not try the restaurants inside this hotel but CC's across the street at the Bailey was wonderful. "

"The staff could not have been more helpful when my flight was delayed 6 hours. Communication was top notch. Friendly staff, room was clean and bed comfortable. Ample parking easy booking."
