We had a great time at the resort, with a fantastic pool and spacious apartment. However, we were disappointed to find that smoking was permitted on the balconies, which affected our enjoyment during our stay. The location is excellent, right at Palm Cove with easy access to shops and restaurants, but the smoking policy is a significant drawback for us.

I had a lovely stay at this resort, which is situated right in the heart of Palm Cove. The location was superb, just a short stroll to the beach and restaurants. The large swimming pool and lush greenery added to the relaxing atmosphere. However, I did encounter some slippery tiles and the kitchen could use better cookware. Overall, it was a great experience, with fantastic value for money.

I had an outstanding stay at Mantra Amphora! The staff were genuinely welcoming and went out of their way to make me feel at home. The apartment was spacious, clean, and the king-sized bed was a dream. It's set right across from the beach, which is perfect for a relaxing getaway, although the facilities could use minor updates. The dining options nearby were a delight for a foodie like me, but just be prepared for some stairs if you have heavy luggage.

The pool area was stunning and well-maintained. It felt like a little paradise to relax in, though I would recommend some slip-resistant tiles on the walkways.

We've been celebrating our wedding anniversary at this resort for four years now, and it just keeps getting better! The staff make us feel right at home, and the pool is simply idyllic. Being surrounded by fantastic restaurants adds to the charm. However, our last stay had a few hiccups with the condition of our room, which was disappointing given the great standards we were used to. Despite that, it definitely still feels like our holiday haven.

Rooms

While the room had large windows that let in beautiful natural light, it was quite challenging to get our luggage up to the third floor because there are no lifts. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the cleanliness, including stained carpets and dirty walls.

My stay at the resort spa was a mix of highs and lows. The room I had was clean, modern, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable experience. The location was fantastic, close to the beach and local restaurants, making it easy to explore Palm Cove. However, the service left something to be desired, particularly at check-in, and the dining options were limited, which was a disappointment given the price point. Overall, while I enjoyed the comforts of the room and location, there are areas that could use improvement.
