Does anyone have any sense of what benefits we might get at Mantra? I’ve not stayed at a Mantra for a long time, but my assumption is that they are mainly self contained apartments, so even having a restaurant onsite would be rare. Certainly no lounges. Am I correct, or has my limited experience been different to the norm?

But did you book that through the Accor website or? It is not acceptable that benefits are exactly zero still now they have owned it for a while. Even just some introductory benefits (temporary promotional benefits) would be nice if they are not ready to fully implement it yet.

Surely not, some of the Mantra and Peppers resorts are way in excess financially compared to the flagship brand Sofitel here in Australia !

Here it is :
Art Hotels, Mantra, Peppers & BreakFree : the number of points earned at these four brands is aligned with the Adagio

I would say and hope this is a temporary thing. It would be nice if it was the same earning rate as say like Mercures and novotels but even say 1.5/2 status points per Euro should be a min. These hotels/apartments are not that cheap.
I think even Ibis hotels earn more than Mantra at the moment.

To add to the insult, the Mantra properties tend to be more expensive than comparable "traditional Accor-branded" hotels of a similar tier. If anything, this adds yet another reason to stick to the regular brands
