The one bedroom apartments at Mantra Coolangatta Beach are a bit tired looking (though some have been renovated: it's pot luck however), but the best feature is the outlook over the beach. Have been at the Outrigger more recently, and the 1 bedroom apartments are a bit larger and more modern looking, though they are in the Harbour view tower, and if you are not a frequent traveler, you don't get a very high level. There are also a few options heading north toward Palm Beach.
