These serviced apartments are located in a lovely spot, providing stunning views of the water while being just a short walk to shops and the beach. The apartment we had was perfect for our family, spacious, and well-maintained. The pool area was a nice bonus for relaxing days when the beach was too windy. However, the exterior windows could use a clean for a better view, and I was a bit disappointed with the sea view we received for an extra charge.

Our stay at Manta Resort was absolutely unforgettable. The units are beautifully equipped for families, providing a well-thought-out space that made our holiday so relaxing. The location is perfect, offering stunning ocean views and being just a short walk from local eateries and parks for the kids. The service from the staff was exceptional, always accommodating and happy to help. The only minor downside was that there's no beach right on the doorstep, but plenty of options are just a short drive away.

I had a wonderful stay in a clean, spacious two-bedroom apartment with a lovely sea view. The location is fantastic, right on the waterfront and within walking distance to restaurants. The facilities, including the gym and pool, added to the experience, but I wished pool towels were provided in the room. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway, but the outside windows could have used a good clean for a better view.

Our time at the resort in Bargara was truly enjoyable, thanks to its spacious and well-equipped apartment that made our family stay comfortable. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll to both the beach and the town with great dining options. However, we felt the facilities could use a bit of improvement, particularly the pool area which wasn't as inviting as we hoped. We loved the proximity to nature walks and enjoyed some wildlife sightings, but the unique bathroom layout in the master bedroom might not be ideal for everyone.

Rooms

The apartment was spacious, modern, and included a full kitchen with all the amenities we needed. The layout was nice, but the open plan bathroom created some privacy concerns.

The pool and spa area looked a bit grubby and uninviting, which was a letdown since we were looking forward to using them.

I had a lovely stay at Manta Bargara Resort, enjoying a comfortable apartment with plenty of space. The beach is just across the road, but it's rocky, which might not be what you expect from a typical beach visit. Although our experience was marred by some minor service issues and an unexpectedly small pool, overall, it was a good value for our family trip, especially with the excitement of spotting a turtle on the beach.

Our 2-bedroom apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, providing comfort for our family. The views were lovely, and I appreciated the full kitchen which made our stay much easier.
Service

The service was somewhat inconsistent. While the reception staff were helpful, my request for extra toiletries felt a bit unwelcome, which isn't ideal during a longer stay.

The location is convenient, with easy access to nearby shops like Aldi and Woolworths, and being just across from the beach, albeit a rocky one. It was nice to have a sandy beach a short walk away.

We didn't dine on-site but were satisfied with the nearby options, thanks to the close proximity to local restaurants and takeaways.

The facilities included a swimming pool, albeit smaller than expected. It didn't seem crowded during our visit, but I imagine it could be challenging when the resort is full.
