Mantra Club Croc offers a resort-style atmosphere with lovely gardens and a great pool area, and many guests appreciate its convenient location, not too far from Airlie's main street and close to the bay. The rooms are often described as clean and modern, with some renovated rooms offering a boutique vibe. While the breakfast buffet receives praise for its variety, some guests have occasionally mentioned issues with cleanliness in the shower or a musty smell in the rooms.

Satisfactory Stay

spacious roomfriendly staffshallow poolineffective spa jets
The room was spacious. Coffee and tea facilities were available. The bed was comfortable and an iron was in the room (very practical). The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The heated spa jets lacked power, so I did not find them relaxing. The pool seemed too shallow. It looked designed for children. I was not impressed with the spa jets.

Excellent Stay at Renovated Tropical Oasis

enjoyable poolbuffet breakfastblackout curtains
I found the pool and bar area quite enjoyable throughout the day. The breakfast buffet offered a good start. There were more options than just cereal, toast, and eggs with bacon. I also appreciated the blackout curtains in my room (perfect for sleeping in!).
The rooms were not serviced daily and fresh towels were not always readily available at reception.
