Mantra Ettalong Beach Hotel, Ettalong Beach

I stayed in a lovely big two-bedroom apartment. It had two bathrooms, one with a relaxing corner spa, and the kitchen was equipped with a cooktop and microwave. The size was perfect for my family, and we felt right at home. The only downside was that the bathrooms could have used a clothesline.

The pool area was fantastic and ideal for both relaxation and fun. Although the pool was a bit chilly, it was a great spot to unwind, and I loved how it overlooked the water. The spa was always popular, and even though it was often packed, it provided a great way to enjoy quality time with family.

I appreciated how close the hotel was to various dining options. The venue is right above the Diggers club, which made it super easy to grab meals and drinks without having to go far. There were plenty of local cafes around too, perfect for a casual breakfast.

During my stay, I noticed that the hotel is very family-friendly. The spacious layout and two-bedroom apartments were perfect for families, allowing everyone to have their space. Plus, the large pool was fantastic for kids to have some fun while I relaxed.
