Mantra on Salt Beach

Mantra on Salt Beach

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay overall. The swimming pool was great, the free parking was excellent, and our room had everything we needed, including a comfortable bed. The main disappointments were the cooked buffet breakfast, which wasn’t very good, and the bedroom TV, which took two days to fix. The rest of the breakfast was okay. The café didn’t open until midday, which wasn’t useful when we wanted something earlier."
