I attended the 2025 Gold Coast Opal Expo and was offered a room at the Mantra at a special price because it is part of the complex (Southport Sharks Club) where the expo was held. I was happy with my room and the friendly staff. All was squeaky clean and the bed was comfortable. The rooftop restaurant was lovely. The convenient location made everything easy for me to catch the tram/ train back to the airport.

This is my second time booking this hotel. During my first stay, I was kindly upgraded to a suite as a Gold member, which I really appreciated—it felt well worth the price.
This time, as a Platinum member, I didn’t receive an upgrade and was assigned a lower-level room. To be honest, I didn’t feel any noticeable difference in experience between Gold and Platinum status, which was a bit disappointing.
I also noticed the standard room didn’t have a coffee machine, unlike the King Suite, which was slightly inconvenient.

My recent stay at the Sharks was an extremely pleasant one. The check in was super easy, the staff was really friendly. The room was cosy and clean and comfortable. Food/drink amenities at the club made it easy to get a snack or meal, and overall, it was an experience I look forward to again some time. Thanks to all the staff at the hotel.

Very happy with our stay. Great value. Rooms are pretty small, but very clean and serviceable. The hotel staff are excellent; very friendly, helpful and efficient.
Skip Sharkies for the meals and head straight to the Aviary instead - it's superb.

Sean from room service you are a legend. Thank you for your help, very much appreciated.
Mantra at Southport Sharks has become my favourite go to accommodation for the Southport area. Forget Airbnb everyone, Mantra Sharks do it better than anyone!
The place has been really busy lately and still the service and cleanliness of the rooms is above any standard set.
After 30 years in Hospitality...this team, at this awesome Southport gem of a hotel, do it best!
Even the cheesy garlic bread rocks.
