Location is excellent for any activity in Cairns. Easy walking to lagoon, shopping and dining. Front desk staff were awesome. The hotel is nicely presented, but you can tell it is dated in the rooms. Clean, safe and comfortable though. Would definitely stay again.

This was a good stay close to all the action with easy access and onsite parking Disappointing to not have bedside reading lights and an old aircon that was difficult to navigate. The Balcony y was great for a view and pre dinner drink as well as drying clothes and towels.

Handy location right on esplanade. Good to have a small kitchen to cook in and located close to the supermarket. Nice balcony but the outdoor furniture needs an upgrade and the balcony floor wasn’t very clean. Nice pool facilities and everything felt safe. Everything was functional but a little dated and needing some maintenance. The bed was very comfortable

We had a fantastic stay at Mantra Esplanade. The location right on the Esplanade is unbeatable—close to everything with beautiful ocean views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A perfect base for exploring Cairns—highly recommend!

Perfectly located and within walking distance to pretty much everything. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful. No housekeeping to rooms if stay is under 5 days (or at an additional charge if required). The only issue with this is that the bin fills up really quickly and there is no spare liner to replace it. Overall very happy with my stay and would definitely recommend.
