“Stayed one night at Twin Towns Mantra and really enjoyed it. Great views, a lovely beach just a short walk away, and so many convenient shops and places to eat nearby. The location made everything easy and relaxing. Perfect spot for a getaway on the coast!”
“Super comfy bed, great outlook from the balcony where I enjoyed every morning with a simply breakfast and hot cup of tea thanks to the functional little kitchenette. Pool facilities were clean and very enjoyable when the walking distance beach was too windy to enjoy. Great location with plenty of places to eat, shop and play within walking distance.”
“I stayed at this property twice within the same week and had two very different experiences. During my first stay, I was given a refurbished one-bedroom apartment and it was genuinely lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable with a cozy doona, the bathroom had a bath (which I really appreciated), and the TV had Netflix, which made the evening really relaxing. The onsite sauna was also a great addition. When I returned for a second stay four nights later, I was placed in a different one-bedroom apartment that was quite dated in comparison. The bed wasn’t as comfortable, it only had a light blanket instead of a doona, and there was no Netflix or Chromecast option on the TV. The sauna was technically open, but the entrance door was being repaired, so it didn’t heat properly due to the door needing to stay open for maintenance. Overall, my first stay was much more enjoyable than the second, so it’s definitely worth checking whether you’re booking a refurbished room or a standard one—the difference in comfort and decor is quite noticeable. On a positive note, the manager on duty was lovely and kindly found a spare doona for me, which I really appreciated.”
“Mantra Coolangatta is well located close to Twin Towns, Coolangatta shops and restaurants and Tweed Heads shops and eateries. The accommodation is amazing, comfortable beds, stunning views of Coolangatta up to Surfers Paradise. The Orient restaurant at Twin Towns is reasonably priced and the meals are large. Signature restaurant for breakfast buffet is worth the $32 price purchased through Reception.”
“We just spent the weekend here in one of the ‘studio’ rooms. For the location, these rooms are priced extremely well. From check in to check out, the reception staff were all so friendly and helpful. My husband called the week before to confirm our booking and the lady on the phone asked him if he wanted harbour view or ocean view, low or high floor, they really try to please their guests. Although the rooms are feeling a little dated these days, they were extremely clean and well looked after. We also received housekeeping services after the first night which I was quite surprised with as we had only booked for 2 nights and I hadn’t been expecting that. The 2 things that we loved the most were the fact that you don’t even need to leave the hotel premises to get over to Twin Towns club, it’s just a short 2 minute walk from the lifts through a covered walkway over the road and also the free parking provided to all guests. We enjoyed this hotel so much that we have re-booked again for a weekend in August. Our room had a balcony overlooking the ocean and our morning coffee came with a million dollar view! Unbeatable!!”
“Easy check in / out. We booked a one bedroom apartment and enjoyed our stay. Had booked a King Bed but on arrival it was two singles - we just pushed the beds together. Rooms are decent & clean enough - nothing to call home about but no major complaints. Wifi / internet speed was good. Dishwashing powder / liquid, washing powder being provided was handy. Would recommend a hand soap bottle be provided at the kitchen sink - had to keep going into to the bathroom to wash my hands.”
