Mantra Twin Towns

8/10 Good
"We stayed at this property for 7 nights in July 2026 in a one bedroom apartment, it is okay for 2 people ,very small kitchen area with no bench space ,everything in it ,but very compact. The heated pool ,spa and sauna Gym were amazing. Location is great ,buses at your front door ,the public transport system is so handy ,at a cost of 50 cents a trip, no need to have a car. Down the lifts and you have many resturants with daily entertainment. The unit could do with a good scrub of the shower ,we detected huge buildup of soap scum and some mold around the shower. We were standing at the windows admiring the views ,only there was cold winds blowing in ,due to damaged window seals. Staff were very helpfull with any requests. We would stay again for the location and the facilities of the towers. Wanda &Joe."
