Excellent hotel and room. My only gripe was toilet paper and tissues were not replenished during my stay and you shouldn’t have to feel like you are rationing when you pay over $300 a night. Rooms could also use a bin.

I booked the family delux room - 1 queen bed and a single bed. I was expecting a newly renovated room. For the price I paid, the room paint was falling off, you have to leave the aircon on 24/7 so it's freezing cold in the room. The water pressure in the shower is non-existent, and the temperature of the water is freezing cold. The positives were the reception staff were lovely, the pools were empty on a sunday morning (although the water was a little cold), we always had fresh water bottles and new beach towels in the room when we used them. The sound between rooms is very noticeable, as i could hear people dragging chairs and making a coffee in the morning in the room next to us. Would i recommend people to stay here? maybe if they could afford to stay in the resort rooms if they are any better. the location was good in the sense that the beach is right across the road, and you get a good view of the sunset from the beach there. Its right next to the Thursday night markets (we were given the wrong directions from staff at reception). You will need a hire car to get around, as you can't really walk anywhere else. It would be good to spend a few days there relaxing by the pool, and going to the different restaurants. Even though it is attached to the casino, you are in a completely different building, so it's not like they are really attached (even though they are).

The staff were really attentive and lovely. The renovations to the rooms are really tasteful and nice. Comfy beds, good set up etc. and yes the lagoon pool in particular was everything I was dreaming of. It would be nice if the swim up bar in the pool stayed open a little later and we were hoping for a microwave in our room, but there really is nothing you can fault with the stay here. It's beautiful.

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

Whilst the property is in a good location, Room 81 is right next to the back of house service area and noise from staff entering/exiting the door and activities in this area travelled through to the room.

The Sandbar is great for casual dining although is not open on Mon/Tue/Wed evenings, il Piatto is closed on Mon/Tue evenings and Dragon Court is closed on Tue/Wed evenings which if you are staying at the hotel in the first half of the week limits your choice of venue to The Vue which is below average in food options and quality - plus throughout the evening you are constantly interrupted with announcements from the Casino into the restaurant of \"member number ..... you have three minutes to claim [$500, $1000 ...] prize money...:

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.

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.

I was a bit disappointed by the limited items for guest use in the room. Very limited options in the provided tea/coffee supplies. Hard to control bulk dispensing pumps in the shower and basin.
The bed, though large, was not comfortable and was not wheel locked in place. Just a few things would have made it a great experience.
