Perfectly positioned on Williams Esplanade, among Palm Cove’s superb restaurants and retail boulevards, mere metres from the flawless white sands of Palm Cove Beach, this escape promises the ultimate sun-soaked escape.

Spend days relaxing by the twinkling lagoon pool while the little ones splash in the children’s pool, or transcend into bliss at the neighbouring Paradise Day Spa.

Famed for its laidback coastal lifestyle and sugar-fine sands, Palm Cove boasts the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest on one side and turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef on the other. From lush, bloom-laden greenery to the cobbled paving of the waterfront promenade, lined with alfresco restaurants shaded by palm trees, there is so much to fall in love with in this sophisticated beachside town.

Excellent 1 bedroom apartment at no 18. Ground floor and just a step away from the magnificent large pool Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, a coupe of things I would suggest is to get some comfortable bedding mattresses for the pool lounge chairs. Everyone I spoke with said the same being uncomfortable. Also the breakfast included was a fair walk down the main street at another big chain hotel which is crazy. Breakfast should be at the restaurant front of property at Vivo. Internet and TV was a bit hit and miss. Apartment is not serviced only if you stay more than a week I believe. I would definitely stay here again on the ground floor overlooking the pool if there are comfortable cushions added.

We had a lovely stay at the Mantra, all the staff were very professional and friendly. We had a room looking over the pool which was lovely. The pool was clean and very inviting. The room was not serviced day but that wasn’t a problem if we needed anything reception would supply it.
