This was a very well run and curated resort for those staying in Darwin who also want the resort experience. The pools were excellent, the location beside Mindil beach was beautiful and the spa was amazing. Overall a very relaxing experience!
Rooms in the casino are dated, but clean and well looked after. Parking was free and always available. Views were AMAZING. Pools were both well looked after and clean. Staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. A great stay

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room maintenance bearly acceptable. Replacement minimal. Had to ask receptionist for tea bags, towel and pool towels. Considering the cost value of this premium room , it was disappointing
Public & guest pool, (infinity) & furniture, covers needed better cleaning & maintance. Hallways windows & carpets need extra cleaning.
Staff were really helpful & friendly. Seaview room was well layed out with nice bathroom, excellent shower water pressure. Well equiped gym. Restaurants, menus & food was good. Location & access to taxi's & scooters was excellent.
