Ettalong Beach Hotels with Pools

We have stayed in this complex before when w evoked directly through Mantra. This time around we booked through the premium apartments, we didn’t realise I til we locked up the key it was in the same building. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Lovely big corner spa, right in town so close to food options and shops, next door to Ettalong diggers which was an easy dinner option. Long corridors can be noisy and echo but we didn’t hear anyone after about 8pm. Nice balcony, stove top and fridge, washer and dryer Downside was we drove around in circles for about 10 minutes trying to find the building before we realised it was at the Mantra. On the corner of the block is a real estate and you go in there and collect your keys. We booked through booking.com and the instructions were not sent to us. After hours of travelling with an infant we would have liked to avoid this last minute search.

Big size apartment equipped with kitchen and washing machine, dryer。close to beach, enjoyed morning walk along beach.

This is a great quirky stay. If it weren’t for the things I list below it would be 5 stars but can’t look past this place is overpriced because of its unique experience. Before going into the serious misgivings of this property, one must read this to understand they market the family rooms as having a “full” kitchen . THEY DO NOT HAVE A FULL KITCHEN…. There is no oven 1. It is one of the hottest parts of summer here and we couldn’t use the pool. The ladder was broken with very unsafe sharp plastic that could cause some serious harm. I advised the manager who at first didn’t want to even entertain my friendly smiling visit by not looking up from His computer and at first denying it was broken until I mentioned The hazard to people with the sharp plastic causing injury, only then did I get a raise of an eye and say he would get into it. Well left today and not address and pool Open to one and all to severely cut themselves 2. Spa is just a concrete box with water and some bubbles. There are no seats in spa and to enjoy it as a spa you would need to stand up in it 3. Newly renovated family rooms . Our shower door could barely open . Then the water ran all over the bathroom floor and not draining well as the drain had not been properly placed 4. Don’t shower at the same time as someone in an ajoining room as you loose ALL hot water 5. Quite a few cockroaches both big and German . I’m saying that cockroaches in many places but how about a proper Spray or provide insect killer 6. Bedroom ceiling fans would be very useful instead of having to keep Air con on to keep rooms cool during the night. Overall the experience was great. I completely understand people not liking those jobs but perhaps Peter as manager should seek another more appropriate job to his liking . Every interaction be it Email, phone and in person was met with disinterest and hostility . We would return but at a much better price point to reflect the above things mentioned . Note it is stair access only. There is a lift but only operated by staff and staff not always around The accommodation area is able to be accessed by all sorts visiting other areas of the complex so keep doors Locked and kept Safe The general access areas need a good clean Access to the beach is a short walk Accross the road The stair access to our room was incredibly unsafe at night with no lighting and loads of dusty handrails . This could again certainly lead to serious injury
