I’d liked the location, 15 minute walk to habour, 10 minute walk to shopping strip, 5 minute walk to patrolled beach. Great value, excellent service and the room were spacious, very clean and inviting.

Didn’t like climbing 2 flights of stairs to get to our room but no big deal. Our room our room are overlooked the pool and it did get a little noisy during the day, but it was school holidays so I’m sure it would’ve been a problem otherwise.

We booked a 2 bedroom apartment as a family of 3 adults. We were actually given a 3 bed apartment which was quite large and comfortable with a large balcony leading off the lounge and a small one leading off the main bedroom. The basement parking is good, but due to no lift, it is taxing taking luggage up the stairs. The waterfront shopping and dining areas are about 10 minutes walk from the property. Its a great base in port Talbot for exploring the great Barrier Reef and Daintree rainforest.

No lift means te luggage has to be carried over many steps.

The quick access direct to the beach was very convenient. We were put in a room which also had a pool for community guests but was right out our back door, wonderful bbq facilities also. This area was very quiet so we felt we had this whole part to ourselves. Whilst we didn't play tennis, the facilities were superb with kitchen plenty of seating and even a shower. No tennis racquettes or notice where to get them but I assume reception is happy to provide. Very spacious apartment, just wonderful and whilst we didn't get time to use the outdoor seating, there was additional options that were just lovely. The main pool was excellent and loved the seating. A lovely 10 minute walk to the main street. Highly recommend this place.

Hard to pick any fault but If I need to point to something it would be that the shower head/pressure in the main was not very firm, given it was such a huge alcove. The pillows in the main could do with replacing as they were starting to get lumpy and limp but the bed itself and linen were superb. I would like to see Council provide specific 'recycling bins' at the property as all rubbish, including glass and cans etc go in one big bin. This resort advised they pay someone to 'split' the rubbish and the recyling which is great of them but this would be avoided if they had a seperate bin. We need to encourage recylcling as much as possible, 100%

We enjoyed the location of the property being so close to the beach and the main streets. The pool was great. Unfortunately the shade sail over the pool was still in place, which perhaps during the middle two seasons of the year, it could be taken down to benefit from the little bit of sun. The timing of when we stayed the weather was quite poor, so the limited sun would have been good to catch. It was relatively quiet, other guests were non intrusive.

Just as mentioned above about the shade sail over the pool during May. I would recommend removing it from May through to September, but clearly this may be a compliance issue. The air conditioning unit in our unit was fairly noisy and so we turned it off when going to sleep but would wake up during the night and have to turn it back on again. We stayed in unit 25 and it was well appointed and clean however the clothes rack was broken so drying clothes was tricky.

Mandalay was perfect for our stay in PD, 50 meters walk from the beach, 10 mins walk from the main town/restaurants and an amazing pool which the kids loved every day after our trips. Staff were amazingly helpful even after we had checked out and were back in Sydney and i realised i had left some important medication, no problem at all, in fast delivery the next day and received in SYD within 48 hours, if we go back to PD would def stay again, highly recommend 👍

We loved the balcony view! And the size/layout of the balcony and apartment. As I was travelling with my grandparents as well as my 3 month old baby, we needed accomodation where we could spend a lot of time there day and night and this apartment was perfect. Perfect distance to the main st - 15 minute walk or 5 min drive. Apartment was spacious and quiet and just lovely! Pool was great too.

The fans didn’t work unless on full which was a bit annoying and the cooktop seemed to short circuit and then itself off occasionally.

Location was fabulous, apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Loved that there were 2 pools to choose from, tennis court was great. We had a tiny leak in one of our bathroom sinks..I reported it and someone came up to fix it immediately.

The lighting in the living area was terrible…slightly ruined the experience of sitting in the lounge area at night..but that’s a very personal thing as I hate overhead lights.

Location was perfect. Able to walk easily to beach and Macrossan Street Extremely spacious apartment Fabulous grounds and garden Very helpful and caring staff Fabulous outdoor pool spa and tennis court

On the top floor was a slight noise from roof top A/C disturbing our sleep but fortunately was able to move to a lower floor and that fixed the problem First apartment whilst luxurious had torn and stained carpet in bedroom Second apartment had beautifully refurbished kitchen and bathrooms

The size of the apartment was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Nice pool and facilities. Very close to the beach. Great coffee machine.

The walk up two flights of steps were tough for us older folk to get our suitcases to our room. Should have asked our ages and fitness before putting us in this apartment. The second bed needed secure cups under the rollers as it kept moving around when you rolled over!

Receptionist Ruby: very helpful Nothing was too much trouble for her. So kind ***** Location: So close to the beach\an easy walk to Macrossan St and town centre/yoga on the beach/restaurants/massage Tennis court and pool Well maintained resort Short drive to the mariner for trip to the reef for snorkelling A polite and respectful family environment

The pool needs a little bit of an upgrade - re-grouting.
