    "Utterly surprised with our short stay. We decided to stay 2 nights in surfers paradise so we could take our son to the theme parks. We booked last minute and we’re left with not many options during the school holidays. I don’t think we would have chosen this hotel initially but we were surprised and amazed how great it actually was! The location is convenient to everything near Cavil Ave, the staff have exceptional customer service and made us feel really welcomed, thank you for that as there hasn’t been a lot of this during the madness of covid & lockdowns. The room was clean and spacious, my only recommendation would be to add a microwave in certain rooms with families or infants etc. GREAT balcony views! Loved the spas and can’t wait for the swimming pool to be finished. Great communication from hotel from the moment we booked they informed us of renovations etc. We had full refundable cancellation 2 days before checkin which is ideal with the uncertainty of travel and lockdowns. Really enjoyed our stayed and would happily book here again soon. Thank you Mantra on View. "
