The pool is amazing, it has a sandy beach at one end and is huge with a swim up bar. Unfortunately we could not swim off the real beach just in front of the hotel as it was rainy season and there is a risk of salty crocodiles and box jelly fish. The casino is huge and a bit off putting. Most rooms are pretty basic but we were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine, which was most welcome. The rooms around the big pool are really great
Staff always very helpful and friendly. Facilities awesome and great proximity to lots of clubs along the beach walkway for evening drinks and sunset views.
Had a great stay. Arrived early and room ready for check in. The infinity pool was very inviting and lovely to spend the afternoon overlooking the beach.
Room was clean and staff very helpful and friendly.
The pool was lovely
We used the lagoon as it was a Sunday and the infinity was a bit too busy
The lagoon was so relaxing and quiet
Our room was clean and comfortable
It just had a bit of a funny smell but it could have been cleaning product not sure. We let reception know on check out and they were so good about it and would have it seen too.
Over all great stay. Staff were great too!

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Positives: great location, a couple of minutes from CBD by car, towards sunset, close to Mindil Beach market.
Negatives: no soundproofing in the rooms, disappointing breakfast, slow service.
Superb location for beach walking and Mindil Beach market. Great pools and food. Reception staff fantastic - allowed early 11am checkin, offered to call and book taxi for departure, and gave a comprehensive overview of resort and city.
The property is beautiful and located close to the city and Sunset Beach market. There are 2 pools, dining options, and the casino on site. Private beach area as well.
Amazing stay, infinity pool area made it for us, tunes, drinks, incredibly relaxing, great restaurants, but most importantly best sunsets in Darwin. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else
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!
Mindil Beach was excellent, great value for money, new pool area was fabulous, old one was nice too. Restaurants were all very very high standard, and never saw a staff member that didn't have a freindly greeting and a smile.
