Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Enjoyed the property and the facilities. Lots to like about rooms with ocean view and the Darwin sunsets. Staff were friendly and polite and the rooms were clean. Everything was great until a little thing was not right. In my room the tv was not working. Unfortunate but it is. However when raised with the reception desk was assured it would be fixed. After returning 2 hours later from dinner it was not fixed and the message from front staff was confusing (I think they forgot) Solution was to change rooms but unfortunately went from a room with ocean view to carpark view (and smaller) and had to move myself. From this experience they miss the mark as a premium venue and settle for above average. Attention to detail is important. Firstly check the TV (there was a reason it was switched off a the wall). Then if do need to inconvenience the customer provide as much help as possible and at least maintain the level of room.

Paid 2k for a room that had the worst pillows and the bed was a rock with no bedhead aswell. Had a horrible view and also had staff try to enter room when I said im getting dressed please wait 5minutes, then 1 minute later they tried to enter again. Should of got a room on the lagoon pool if you ask me. Thats where its worth it. The facilities around the joint are elite but if you want a good night sleep Id consider other options.

Nice place and facilities but tv not working, couldn’t work out how to use the phone (so just called the hotel on my mobile to order room service), little bugs all through the room but that’s just tropical I guess. Friendly helpful staff, great pool - All in all pretty good

Room was excellent and clean, bed was comfortable, having access directly to the lagoon pool was very convenient. Dining options was ok food was lovely, just no lounge area to sit and relax with a coffee and cake. Not really walkable to CBD but only $10-$15 in Uber. Walking path along beach front is lovely and amazing to watch sunset. Rooms were quiet and couldn’t really hear neighbours. Drinks a little pricey but it is a resort.
