We always stay at Mantra Aqueous. Huge rooms with fully equipped kitchen, spa, and great bathroom products. The pool is divine and it right in the heart of PD.

Helen H. Couples - 4/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had the necessary, the room could have done with some upgrading though. Had a very uncomfortable bed and sofa. Old tv with no streaming apps.

Dear Helen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay at Mantra Aqueous Port Douglas. We’re pleased to hear the room had the essentials you needed; however, we’re sorry to learn that aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. Your comments regarding the comfort of the bed and sofa, as well as the in-room television, are appreciated and have been noted for review as we continue to plan future upgrades. We understand how important comfort and modern amenities are to an enjoyable stay, and we regret that this was not your experience on this occasion.

Scott B. Friends - 4/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Located close to main street and room was fairly comfortable. Very disappointed that rooms are not serviced daily, Had to go to reception for fresh towels and toilet paper, Staff were not overly friendly and considering the amount it cost for the room it should have been serviced daily like any normal motel. Swimming pool facilities were good just be careful with the coating of the floor and walls in the pool as they are very ruff and easily scratch your skin

Dear Scott, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear you found our location convenient and the room comfortable, and that you enjoyed the pool facilities. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. Our property does not provide daily housekeeping as part of our service model, which allows us to operate more sustainably, and keep our rates competitive. Fresh towels and essential items are always available upon request, and we regret if this caused any inconvenience or was not clearly communicated prior to your stay. We also apologise if our team did not come across as welcoming during your visit—this is certainly not the impression we aim to leave, and we will be addressing this with our staff. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the pool surface. Guest safety is very important to us, and we will review this with our maintenance team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much improved experience in the future. Kind regards, Donnie Hernandez General Manager
