Mantra Zanzibar Mooloolaba 4.5 stars

Our week at Zanzibar Mooloolaba was relaxed as we were close to the beach and all amenities. Within walking distance to shops beach surf club and more. Our accomodation was spacious and quiet. We felt we were ideally removed from the traffic noise being on a higher floor. Very relaxing.

The hotel, views and location are fantastic and the upgrade for Accor membership was such a bonus. We can’t imagine coming to Mooloolaba and staying at any place other than Zanzibar!

Stayed here about 10 years ago and was just as impressed with the apartment this time as I was back then. Very comfortable for three adults and you can't beat the view and location. Was only disappointed that we arrived early (11.30am) and the room wasn't ready, however I understand that guaranteed check-in time is 2.00pm. Unfortunately we weren't able to get into our room until 2.45pm as it was still being cleaned past 2.00pm.

The apartment was lovely. I booked months ago and requested a high floor as it was a special occasion for us, so I was very disappointed to get a room on the 3rd floor with our ocean view almost entirely obscured by trees. I would most likely book somewhere else next time to avoid this, there are many other providers along the Esplanade and beyond whose lower floors aren't so obscured. In addition, the door hinge on our door broke which required the Handyman to come, and then Foxtel broke, which again required the Handyman, and caused us to mis the first half of the All Blacks/Pumas rugby match.

Zanzibar is perfectly situated, and all rooms have gorgeous ocean views. We were disappointed despite communicating during travelling that we would be early, and requesting a possible early check in of 1pm; our room was not ready until 3pm - an hour after supposed “Guaranteed check in" time of 2pm. Apart from this we had a lovely, comfortable stay.

I stayed at mantra Zanzibar and had my family and two grandchildren come to stay. We had an exceptional time. The kids loved the pool, the ocean, and everything about the place. Thank you

We were very happy with location,staff and unit size. More comfortable seating in lounge would have been appreciated.

The location was wonderful, amazing view. However the cleanliness of the rooms was not ideal, especially the floors. We swept and mopped the floors ourselves the first night.

We booked a 3 bedroom appt which should sleep 6 people. There was a small table on the balcony with 4 chairs which was very disappointing as we hadtp put dining room chairs outside for 2 people. In the lounge there was also seating for 4 people so again 2 people had to sit on dining chairs or we had to bring in the chairs from outside. We paid $ 1740 for 5 nights and it is pretty poor when we cannot comfortably sit 6 people inside the apartment or on the balcony. I think Mantra, you need to upgrade the furniture in these apartments, they are pretty poor compared to other properties. We have stayed in the Mantra at Caloundra and Zanzibar is not a patch on that. We would not book here again or recommend it anyone. All in all, a very expensive 5 nights for very poor quality accommodation.

Wonderful location and apartment was well suited to our needs.

I asked for a unit that had good view of the ocean. We placed on level 3 that had big pine trees that hindered our view of the ocean. There was also a building project at the rear of the building which was incredibly loud and woke us up 2 out of the 3 mornings around 7am, even with the windows and doors closed. This was not relaxing at all! We could also hear the pool music speakers loudly that also turned on early hours of morning and could heard from the 3rd bedroom. I booked this accommodation being advised there were no renovations being conducted on or near the property however this was not the case. The scaffolding banging and clanging together and concrete drilling was unpleasant. However to top this off, I phoned reception to advise them of our worries about the noise (which mind you, we tolerated for 3 or so hours before complaining) to be told by Amanda on reception that she couldn't hear the noise at all when we could clearly hear it from our level in our bedrooms with the doors and windows closed. Amanda advised she would raise our worries with the manager and phone me back with possibly changing rooms or an alternate option however she never returned our phone call. This was so disappointing consider we have always been loyal Mantra clients and stay with Mantra several times per year! Next time we will reconsider giving our business to Mantra.

Staff were friendly and helpful though had a request for toilet rolls forgotten about. Second time of asking (different receptionist) service was great with phone call to update etc.

Very nice unit, everything supplied.

My only complaint was the BEDS they were absolutely hard as cement. The sound of the ocean was relaxing. Would stay again with a request for better bed.

Great location with good views of the ocean. Apartment had a private deck area with private bbq and spa which was great.
