We booked for one night at the Mantra Esplanade Cairns in June, and paid extra for a “sea view”. We were so disappointed with what was advertised as a 4 star Hotel. The room was dirty, and the decor “tired”, with stains over the lounge suite and torn curtains. The view of the sea from the tiny balcony was not worth the extra money. We are Accor Plus Members, and presume we were up-graded to one of their better rooms! We will certainly not be staying here again!

I can tell you for the price this may be one of the worst hotels I have stayed. Rooms are old, scratches and marks all over, outdated and small. Pool is very small and uninviting. Views and balconies are gritty and dirty. No privacy blinds so the room is in complete darkness or completely visible to the street. Bathrooms are very outdated and small with a tub and shower above. You can't even buy water in this hotel, was looked at like I was stupid for asking if I could even buy some from the bar. ( the small empty bar that no one wants to use. ) Mattress have indentation from previous guests.. colours of the pillows have yellow markings. After looking up the mattress brand ans model its decades old also. Apparently the rooms are privately owned so you may get a nicer one depending on the owner? Not sure, although I have seen three rooms now and they all are terrible. You couldn't pay me to stay here again. CHOOSE ELSEWHERE. SERIOUSLY CHOOSE ELSEWHERE. $300 a night to for what seems like someone's neglected spare room…

Booking was rearranged from 1 bedroom apartment to a hotel room by staff at Mantra Esplanade to allow for apartment owner to stay even though I requested an apartment with walk in access to shower as my mother has very limited mobility and was assured the only 1 bedroom aptmt with walk in shower would be reserved for us. Prior to booking, I called the hotel to ask if they had an apartment with walk in shower as my mother had limited mobility and cannot step into bath shower. I was told they did and to book online through my ACCOR membership, make a note in reservation requesting walk in bathroom then call hotel back which I did. The hotel reception (same person) told me she had allocated us the only 1 bedroom apartment that had walk in shower access and had made a note about this on their reservation system. Two days before our stay was to commence the hotel called and said they had just seen my note requesting the above mentioned room however the owner would is still using the room so for the first 2 days of our stay we would have to stay in a hotel room, no walk in shower!! I explained that i had requested and was told we could have the only 1 bedroom apartment with walk in shower by the hotel. This was dismissed by the receptionist, I then had to again request for at least a hotel room with walk in shower!!!! Duh, were you even listening to me??? When i stated this mix up was the hotel's fault not mine i was offered a refund, this was not an option as I had already paid $1700+ for 6 nights and would not be able to find another affordable property due to increase in hotel prices at the time. I then had to request a refund for difference in pri e of motel room and apartment. Wasrefunded $30 so then had to again request the correct amount of diffetence for two nights and was eventually refunded the difference! The hotel room was disgraceful, (room 407) very small with old scratched and dated furniture as well as scrape and scuff marks over walls and door. Apartment (305) was nice however had to clean the kitchen bench, fridge and microwave when we got there as were dirty and had small bits of food scraps throughout. Absolute disgrace and definately not worth the money.…

The room was ok and quiet but at that price I expected something better. The staff were polite and helpful and the location of the hotel is great. I wouldn't mind staying there again at a lower price point.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Walking distance to Reef trip boats,lagoon,Casino, cafes, restaurants , supermarket and shops and night markets. Our unit was top floor with lagoon view. Our only complaints would be that it is quite noisy ( yelling, early garbage trucks), which hotel cannot control and the double/queen bed which was uncomfortable unlike the king and singles which were quite comfortable.
