Mantra Aqueous Port Douglas

Stayed here for 5 nights, fantastic location, close to shops and beach. Pools surround the apartments were warm and clean, apartment was modern and had everything you needed. We loved that it had a lift too, so much easier with your luggage. Plenty of car spaces too. Only complaints, outdoor chairs so uncomfortable and no dining table inside. Plus we were celebrating a special birthday which we told them but no acknowledgment. It gets a bit noisy when loud people in pool but other than that, we had a great time here, and definitely would recommend it if staying in Port Douglas.

The Mantra Aqueous at Port Douglas is in a great location, close enough for a short walk to Four Mile Beach as well as the restaurants, bars and shops. It's far enough away from the busy end of Macrossan Street to be relatively quiet. With selections of single rooms, one and two bedroom apartments with self catering facilities, it is ideal for both couples and families. The rooms are reasonably spacious, comfortable but not fancy. Perfect for a relaxing getaway, it has 4 pools (no swim-up bar) with some pool toys supplied. As long as you're not expecting 5 star luxury (like at the Sheraton) you won't be disappointed!

After a very disappointing stay at another Mantra property (it was so bad I vowed never to stay at a Mantra property ever again) I hesitantly booked Mantra Aqueous. Why did I decide to book here? It was at a great rate and not only that it was one of very few properties that did not have a minimum night stay of 3-7 nights over the Christmas and New Year holiday period. After a long and very hot and sweaty December summers day at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventure we arrived to our pre aircon chilled rooms. It was the best feeling! It’s an older property but our rooms were clean and fresh. The bathrooms were mouldless - not an easy feat in the tropics! I have spent a lot of time in the area and familiar with most nearby hotels and what I wasn’t expecting with this one was an elevator. A pleasant surprise travelling with my 83 year old grandmother. If I had known how much I would’ve liked this property I would’ve squeezed another night or 2 into the Port Douglas portion of our trip. Thank you Mantra Aqueous for your pleasant hospitality and renewing my faith in the Mantra brand.

Fantastic location. Park your car undercover and walk to the beach, lookout, shops, restaurants, Coles and the main street. The corridor to the rooms feels a little like a cruise ship 😂. The balcony spa bath was fantastic and private because we were on the top floor. The swim up rooms looked like they would be great for families with your own ladder access to one of the 4 pools. The bathroom and shower were a great size and very nice. The bed was comfortable with a lot of different pillow options. Unfortunately, we felt like the maintenance was lacking. One of our AC units leaked water all over the TV, cabinet, power points and floor. We had to turn it off until the maintenance worker was able to come and look at it. He drained the overflow tray, but it happened again the next day. It was winter and we are from Cairns, so it didn't matter that we couldn't use it, but it would definitely matter to others, especially in the summer. There was also water on the kitchen floor twice during our stay and we never got the the bottom of that problem. The staff were very nice and tried to help, it was just unfortunate that the rooms were fully booked and we were unable to change rooms.

I loved the convenience of the property to the main street and the beach, with the other features of Port Douglas within an easy walking distance. The property is clean, cooled by both air-con and ceiling fans and comfortable for everyone who likes to have control of their comfort in a hotel/apartment style accommodation. The spa on the veranda and the pool at the doorstep are both wonderful features and a real draw-card. Be careful to wear crocs/thongs because the decking gets hot in the sun! Pool noodles and floaties are also available, which is a great aspect for guests. The BBQs are fantastic too - there's plenty of seating close-by and all the amenities are really clean. A wholly enjoyable experience and I'm already planning our next trip to Port Douglas with accommodation at the Mantra Aqueous Port Douglas. Many thanks to the team and management who made our stay easy, enjoyable and welcoming.

We stayed at Mantra Aqueous for 12 nights and cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The swim out pool room was fabulous and thoroughly enjoyable, even though the pool was a little chilly on impact you just had to count to 5 and it is winter after all. The staff couldn't do enough for you and nothing was too much. They were all super friendly. Nice and close to Macrossan St and all it offers and the beautiful 4-mile beach which we walked often. Absolutely fabulous holiday. Cheers Mark & Di

Good location but be aware the pool is not heated (20 degrees - water at the beach 24!) We were so excited to leave the Melbourne's cold and dive into the warm pool water from our poolside room. In my opinion it was not worth the money - particularly for the poolside apartments in Winter - as the water is too cold to swim.||I did end up having a long talk with Tamas (Front Office Manager) who was lovely.||I believe they are in the process of upgrading but although the hotel is managed by Mantra it is run through a body corporate and private owners so this comes with some complexity.

We cannot thank Tamas and his colleague enough for the outstanding service we received. After a disastrous night at another accommodation, they welcomed us with such kindness and efficiency, checking us in early so we could finally relax on our honeymoon. To our delight, we arrived to find a bottle of wine, delicious chocolates, and a beautiful handwritten card waiting for us in the room — such a thoughtful touch that meant the world to us after what we’d been through. The genuine care, attention to detail, and above-and-beyond service turned our experience around completely. This was hospitality at its absolute finest, and we’re so grateful to Tamas and the team for making our honeymoon feel so special.

We spent 3 weeks in Port Douglas in July and we loved every minute of our stay. The location of the Mantra us sensational, very close to the beach, close to the shops and restaurant, yet far away enough from the noise of the main street. The apartment was spacious for the 3 of us with the large outdoor padio being an added bonus. Our apartment was on the ground floor and at the end of the corridor, which also meant no apartment above us. Yes the apartments are not services daily, but we felt there was no need for it either. We were more than happy to have the apartment services every 3 to 4 days, if we needed anything extra in between we could get it at reception. Matthew and his team have made our stay very enjoyable with looking after us to well, we will def be back.

Parking is underground in the basement carpark. Access is via Owen St at the back of the resort.
