Stunning Apartment
We had an absolutely fantastic time in this stunning 34th floor apartment with the best ocean views. The 3bdr apartment was spacious, immaculately clean and the owners thoughtful touches like washing powder, dishwashing tablets and haircare products in the showers were a welcomed addition. We loved our stay and will definitely return.

Awesome 2023/2024 New Year celebration
Beautiful apartment/condo. It was clean and the check in process was easy. However, you are definitely know has a short term renter with all the long term renters in the building. Not sure they like short term renters there. The biggest and really only complaint is we rented this place because it was very close to the beach. You would think they would have beach toys, chairs, or at least extra or beach towels. Nope! We had to go spend over $200 just to get the bare essentials. There was only 1 bath towel for each person and that seemed a bit on the cheap side of things. We cannot stress enough the views were amazing!

What a wonderful experience we had staying here! So convenient and simply amazing! The Tram is on your doorstep even though you are on the 34th floor so to speak, you can simply hop.on and off to all the favourite spots in Surfers. Will stay here again. Just lovely, and to top it off we had a wonderful last evening enjoying the fireworks display!!!! Thanks

Great views, modern but could be cleaner
Nice place, great location close to light rail, big & spacious with amazing views but could do with a clean. Many of the walls had some kind of sticky dried liquid on them, the kitchen blinds were filthy, as was the oven splashback. The blinds in one bedroom & the loungeroom were broken, as was the dining table. A thorough clean & quick run over by a maintenance man & this property would be absolutely perfect, especially for families.

What an experience for my family of seven. The views are jaw dropping both from day to night. The bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen/living area had ample space and amenities. With balconies in most rooms, you see beach, city and river. The complex itself is amazing with great pools to suit all ages groups. We will definitely be back, we just needed the weather to be warmer to fully enjoy ☺️

This property was recommended by my brother and it certainly did not disappoint us. When we entered the apartment, everyone was shouting “WOW”! Using the word “magnificent” to describe the views is simply not enough. The photos are not doing justice to the property! The kitchen and bedrooms are stunning and the decoration is just beautiful. This apartment is bigger than our house in Sydney and it is very clean too. We also love the facilities provided by the resort, especially the water slides. I would give 10 stars if I could and we will definitely be back. Thank you for having us!

Amazing apartment and views. Location is excellent and has the tram stop at the door.
Enjoyed staying at this property. Check in was easy, the space was as described, and we were very happy with our stay. The beach is at your window, or a 2 min walk to patrolled areas. The tram is at your doorstep making it very easy to get to theme parks or Broadbeach. The pools looked great but were very cold during our visit, and the tennis court and gym were good. Most kitchen utensils were available, and sheets/linen clean and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Disappointing
Property was filthly with ciagrette butts left on the verandah and drink cup under the bed and our feet where black from walking around. Spa in the main bedroom was not working and the booking agent was aware but still charged full price. TV in the main bedroom was smashed but they did replace it but I had to install myself. Oven looks like hasnt been cleaned in the last year and we found someones underpants in the washing machine. The Bed in the main bedroom is rock hard and they left no soap in the dispenser. No milk for coffee or tea. The resort itself is basically shut and falling apart NOT value for money at all.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 May 2022
The satisfaction of our guests is our top priority and we take all feedback very seriously. Unfortunately, this review is both inaccurate and manipulative. This particular guest wished to extend his stay to include a Saturday night, but demanded to match the Saturday rental rate in line with his existing booking. We declined his request as Saturday rates have always attracted a premium. In addition, he demanded breakfast vouchers similar to those given to Mantra guests upon checking-in. However, as an independent booking operator, we are not able to offer such a service. Finally, he requested half refund as compensation for not providing these concessions, however we declined his request as we believe it was inappropriate. We make great efforts to ensure the best experience for our guests, which includes maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and service. For this stay, our housekeeping team contacted the guest within minutes after receiving his cleanliness complaints and attended and cleaned property to his satisfaction. Given the nature of the events, these unfair review comments do not reflect the typical experience of our guests and should not be considered as such. Charlie

A great place to stay
We are regular VRBO travellers and would rate this apartment (Ocean Front Panorama) as one of the nicest, best located, and high value of all the places we have stayed. The place was very clean, modern, had everything we needed to feel right at home, and was an easy walk to the beach and sightseeing locations. The Gold Coast light rail is just at the doorstep, which made it easy to get around the area. Communication with the host was also very clear and lovely. We would highly recommend this wonderful apartment!

This place was breathtaking as soon as we entered the door. The view was amazing and we couldn't get enough of it! I wish I could give this a higher than 5 star rating, as the property and host definitely deserve it. Charlie was an amazing host with a quick reply after I finished booking. His welcome message was very warm and included all the information we needed to get there comfortably. He was especially gracious with a little welcome gift for us! I had a short stay with friends, but now I wish we had more time for a longer stay. Everyone loved it and I highly recommend this place!

Nice apartment but dirty.
The apartment was nice and spacious but very dirty. The floor was sticky, door on the inside in the powder room was filthy. I don’t think it was ever washed. Shelves in the kitchen cupboards were dirty, I had to wipe them before putting anything in. The maroon coloured wall in the master bedroom had thick dust on it. Mirrors not cleaned, old and stained carpets and dirty windows. Whoever is hired to clean that place is doing a terrible job. Definitely too expensive for the condition that it’s in. Beautiful view of Surfers and the ocean.

Dear Monika, The satisfaction of our customers is our top priority and we take your feedback very seriously. Regarding your specific stay, our records indicate that building security was called in to stop excessive noise from your party at 11:43PM August 20, 2021. I hope this has not frustrated you and your guests. Although our records showed that the property was cleaned to our strict standards prior to your check-in, we have systematically checked the apartment according to your comments, and made improvements where appropriate. In addition we have also scheduled a more detailed bi-weekly cleaning schedule to be implemented from today. We are still grateful to you for bringing this to our attention as it allows us to continuously improve and deliver outstanding services to our returning and future guests. Charlie

Hi Cheryl, we are very glad to hear that you enjoyed our apartment! We apologize for the bar stools you mentioned in your comments. The satisfaction of our customers is our top priority and we take your feedback very seriously. You may not be aware, but the bar stools were damaged by the previous group and our order, whilst placed for an urgent delivery, was still late due to the state borders’ closure. The stools have now been replaced. We are so grateful to you for bringing this to our attention as it allows us to continuously improve and deliver outstanding services to our returning and future guests. Again, we apologize for not having the replacement stools in time for your stay. Charlie

Dear Dora, We apologize for not meeting your cleanliness expectations during your stay. The satisfaction of our customers is our priority and we take your feedback very seriously. As one of the top ranked properties on the Gold Coast, in accordance with government health and safety guidelines, we have implemented additional sterilization protocols to ensure the safety of our guests, especially the young and vulnerable. Regarding your specific stay, our records indicated that both our property manager and cleaning manager attended to the property within 20 minutes of you contacting us about ‘sticky floors’, and left only after the extensive re-cleaning was to your satisfaction. Our records also indicated, at checking-in, you requested for free breakfast vouchers but please understand that as private guests you will not be offered free breakfast in the resort as Mantra guests. I sincerely hope this was not the reason for your comments. Nevertheless, we are grateful to you for bringing this to our attention as it allows us to continuously improve and deliver outstanding services to our returning and future guests. Charlie

Holiday of a lifetime
Firstly I’d like to highlight that on the “Stayz” website where we discovered this amazing property, there was some confusion about any potential cancelation of stay in the event of borders being closed due to COVID. I would ask people to be aware of their cancelation policy but once we sorted this out with the owner our stay at “Mantra Suncity” was fantastic. The owner had gone over and above to ensure we had everything we needed in our app, I would also like to thank the staff at “Suncity” for being fantastic and at times very understanding with my large and loud family. I would have to say this was our best holiday as a family we have experienced and we will definately be back to this amazing holiday destination Thank you
