Mantra in Crystal Brook from AU$199

"We were worried about noise when we arrived, as there was a busy bar directly below us. Wow, the soundproofing was amazing! We didn't hear a thing! Right on the beach, it could not be a more perfect location. The bus stop is off the parking lot. The pool was uncrowded. The beds, super comfy. The balcony, terrific, with the added bonus of cockatoos visiting in the mornings (don't feed them!). Yes, there is construction going on, but the hours are reasonable."

"Great hotel. Easy walk into town. Good size room with private outdoor area for that morning coffee. Pool area and gardens well maintained. Comfotable bed and airconditioned."

"Great location and friendly staff. Some things can be improved like the showers (we understand this is now being fixed). Also pillows a bit hard but we asked for a spare one and they gave us one straight away. Thank you!"

"Arrived "

"We had a lovely, relaxing one-week stay at the Mirage. The location was great — only 3km from the city centre. There are shuttle buses into Airlie Beach at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm, though it would have been nice if they also offered a later shuttle around 4pm. The buffet breakfast was simple but good. The only downside was that there weren’t many dinner options at the restaurant. Staff were lovely and friendly. Unfortunately, the room was not properly cleaned on arrival. The bathroom, shower recess, and toilet all needed a thorough clean with bleach. The rooms are also looking a little dated and could benefit from some updating."

"We had the best time at the resort. Our kids absolutely loved the water park and wished we could stay at the resort for two more weeks. It was very handy to have a little cafe at the resort which provided our morning coffees and lunches by the pool. The cabin was super clean and well stocked with all the essential kitchenware. We can't wait to come back again!"

"We were allocated Room 9 on the ground level. The Apartment itself was okay, tastefully decorated, all the cooking and kitchen equipment was supplied. However being on the ground floor means that you views are partially blocked by the elevator and it feel as though everyone can see you as soon as they exit the lift. Also being right in front of the sun loungers by the pool it did not feel private at all we felt very exposed. There are no management on site in the evening and we were subject to an evening of some tenants having a full on fight and we watched as the police came to intervene. The next night there were a group of teenagers having a full on Party after pool hours. Not even sure they were guests!! No security or management came to inform them of the pool hours. We did not have any communication from staff at any time during our stay. The pool is absolutely fabulous and we really enjoyed swimming there each day."

"Great Position"
