Top Nelson Bay Hotel Reviews

Mantra Nelson Bay

Mantra Nelson Bay

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying here -- it has lots of room for a family of four and my son didn't want to leave! Located in the town center of Nelson Bay, it is also only a few minutes' walk to Woolworths and the other shops. Our apartment was nice and clean and had a good ambience. Furniture had a little wear and tear, but it was acceptable. Rooms were of a good size and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very large and had everything we needed. We had a laundry and an ensuite which was very nice. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. A couple of downsides: the wifi was very slow and in fact failed one evening and the wifi network seemed to drop out of existence! Secondly, because it's a pool view apartment, we got a bit of noise from the activity in the pool - these are both minor complaints though as the pool is closed before it gets too late and we have our mobile phones for internet anyway. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we will stay here again next time we're in Nelson Bay. I can recommend it."

"Our stay at Marina Resort exceeded expectations. The renovations are amazing, the hotel looks and feels brand new. Our room was spacious, spotless, and well equipped, with a huge, incredibly comfortable bed. We had beautiful weather and spent most of our day relaxing by the pool on the lounge beds. Highly recommend Marina Resort!"

"Absolutely loved our stay! The reception staff was helpful and just lovely, bringing towels to my kids when she heard they were in the pool. The apartment we stayed in was the 3-bedroom apartment. It was quite dated, however clean, and there was everything we needed, really. Great positon to go for walks to various beaches that surround the area and close to Nelson Bay."
