Stayed at a few places in Darwin. This was our favourite, great location, central to everything. Quiet, just minutes to the city centre, can watch the sunset on the beach or from the infinity pool.

The superior room with the direct access to the pool was by far the BEST feature & has really exceeded our expectation's & has risen the bar of what you want from a resort room. The staff were super friendly & helpful. HIGHLY recommended this to anyone staying in Darwin.

Liked: Amenities
Stained dirty floor rug in room. Mould in shower. Lots of plant matter and some bandaids in lagoon pool. No Foxtel services except sports channels. No room info brochure about the resort bar and restaurant open and close times. Charge to room payment never worked for us. Lagoon pool room is average size, pool view is lovely and lit up at night. External beach path Lights were not working, there was broken glass on paths and indigenous people laying on paths that take you to the markets. No crocodile warning signs as you exit the resort onto the beach. No table to eat from in room.
