Locked out after paid in full

akabauer 2/9/2026 TripAdvisor review

Do you know what happens when you get locked out of the room at the Mantra Aqueous? Unfortunately, it’s a horrific experience any full paying guest should never endure. All of our belongings-clothes, car keys, meds, contacts, solutions, were in the room as the key no longer worked. After a full day of being on the GBR with our wet bathing suits, we looked forward to a shower and a nice dinner out. There’s NO staff on duty after 5 pm and at 6 pm, you get locked out of the hotel. They are too cheap to employ another staff member so they have a system where you call and someone is supposed to answer. This epically failed. We redialed over 100x, and when we got someone, we got cut off. Where do we sleep tonight? I ran to the 2 other Mantras in flip flops while my husband held the front door only to find the same failed system in place there too. I called the emergency number from my cell….”Hold the line please.” And cut off. After 2 hours, we finally spoke to someone, told them not to put us in hold, and requested to send someone. 2 people arrived and said they only got my message 1 min ago and told us ‘we are fine now.’ Fine wasn’t the word I would use and I wrote to the mgr and spoke to him the day we left. After 2 weeks I had to follow up before we left Australia and the mgr said he didn’t hear back from the phone service co. He sent me an Accor gift card valued at USD 65 which expires in 3 years. Not even a one night stay. When I complained even more with corporate, they added 2000 points which expire after a year and I’ll never use. The whole experience was a nightmare. The pool had thick green algae. See pics. I booked a swim out room but didn’t get. The travel agent blamed the hotel and the hotel blamed the travel agent. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.

Great location. 4 pools. Secure undercover free parking. Good kitchen facilities in room. Helpful front desk staff. Would definitely stay here again

Eric H. Couples - 2/3/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Second time we've stayed here. Nice well equipped rooms and well worth booking a ground floor room with direct access to a pool. Easy walking distance to amenities. Thoroughly recommend.

We felt like we had the entire hotel to ourselves. Enjoyable & comfortable

If you are looking for a local getaway, you could do a lot worse than Mantra Aqueous Port Douglas. Located in the heart of town, within walking distance to all businesses and watering holes in Macrossan St and just down the street from 4-Mile beach. The nightly price of a room is around the mid point of what is on offer in Port.

Hi John, Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing Mantra Aqueous Port Douglas for your local getaway. We’re delighted you enjoyed our central location and the convenience of being so close to Macrossan Street and Four Mile Beach. It’s great to hear you found our pricing to be good value as well. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again very soon. We will pass on your nice words about Laura. Kind regards, Donnie Hernandez
