Disliked: Amenities
Room was tired & outdated but clean, cleaning staff always smiling & friendly. Markets Thursday & Sunday evenings but no shopping options close by. Free shuttle to some main attractions close by would be helpful for guests. Staff at desk a little vague about sightseeing options for tourists, not helpful when we asked. Lovely pool, pool bar very nice but small. The area around the pool bar should be adults only, no children splashing & yelling around customers or taking up the stools. The pool bar staff are lovely considering during our stay, we observed two males on seperate days, being rude & very disrespectful to the staff making drinks. The staff did very well ignoring the insults. It didn’t appear there was any security close by to ask the men to leave. Overall our stay was pleasant, we weren’t there for the casino so not sure we would stay there again.

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.
