Well, if this place is budget then I certainly want to find similar options elsewhere. It was great, and not only that but it has pretty much all the facilities that you could expect from the place - pool, spa, restaurant, laundromat, and some quite large play areas as well. The other thing was that my room was huge, and I mean huge. I thought I would be paying through the nose for something like this, but I didn't have to pay one cent more. Sure, it was probably because it was off season, but a part of me felt that there was not such thing as off season when it came to the Gold Coast.

Hotel is good value for position. The rooms are big and seem bare with the beds and a small TV…read more The whole hotel is old and could do with a modern touch up The restaurant is a little ordinary but there are plenty of other restaurants just down the road to choose from.

Got a chance to stay here on my last surf trip to Coolangatta. At the time, I was given an…read moreexcellent rate for a studio room by receiving a discount for being one of the over 2100 victims involved in a then-recent accommodation company's bankruptcy on the Gold Coast. The Mantra and Breakfree properties were kind enough to offer a discount on bookings, as many people had to wind up rebooking accommodations as a result of this incident. This was much appreciated! As I arrived at the property at around 11:30 a.m., my studio room was not yet ready. The reception staff was very kind and allowed me to store my luggage until check-in. I could tell right off that this property stays very busy, which is never a bad sign. It was great to be able to explore the area until later on in the afternoon. The Mantra is in a perfect location right on the Marine Parade, centrally located to just about everything. Not to mention some of the best surf breaks in the world! Everything in the studio room, which turned out to be room 208, was in excellent working condition with no excessive wear. I did have some trouble with the wireless internet connection after I had prepaid for three days, but I cannot fault the Mantra for this, as the internet company is separate. Turns out I was able to get a partial refund with no problems. It seems like it took the hot water about two seconds longer to get hot in comparison to some of the other properties I had stayed at on this holiday, but it wasn't a big concern. Some of the amenities in the room included a powerful air conditioning/heating unit, fully-stocked kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, utensils, and just about everything one would need for a holiday. Ample closet space, queen size bed, a medium-sized balcony overlooking the courtyard (unfortunately all of the one bedroom ocean view apartments stayed constantly booked up until my arrival, but I did try!), a small ceiling-mounted television set, and a bathroom with a washer and dryer. The swimming pool, spa and barbecue areas were very modern and well-maintained. I'd definitely stay at the Mantra Coolangatta Beach again. My only regret was not being able to find a vacant ocean view unit, but I'll definitely be back. Great staff, good waves, and an overall fun area.

An excellent resort to stay in. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The scenery is beautiful…read more The location to restaurants and cafes is wonderful. It is right on the beach. The beach is manned by lifeguards all through the summer season and school holidays. However the resort has its own pool with a bar and Happy Hour!

It's 15 minute walk to the restaurants at Coolangatta and a 30 minute walk to Tweed Heads. Our one bedroom apartment had a super comfortable bed, compact bathroom, fully equipped kitchen (with small washing machine & dryer) and 2 lounge areas (one with with a flat screen TV). There was also a well maintained BBQ and pool area in the apartment complex and a secure underground car park. This is a good budget friendly option for a Gold Coast beach stay!
