In die Jahre gekommen
Pros:

Der Pool war schön groß.

Cons:

Der Empfang war nicht so gut und die Mitarbeitenden eher unauffällig. Das Frühstück war noch okay, es gab frische Früchte.

A good, clean place for a short stay.
Pros:

The pool was great and the dinner in the restaurant was really good given the remote location. The room was what you'd expect - basically a normal hotel room with good and clean facilities. This is an old hotel and is showing its age in some respects.

Erg bijzonder en leuk
Pros:

Wij vonden het krokodillen hotel erg leuk! Het maakt je trip naar Kakadu helemaal compleet, ook erg toepasselijk dat het de vorm heeft van een krokodil. Het hotel ziet er netjes uit, de kamers waren ook netjes. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk.

Het eten in het restaurant was erg goed. De locatie vonden wij echt heerlijk, je zit echt remote. Je komt helemaal tot rust. Het zwembad is overdekt met doek wat ook fijn is.

Ik las in de reviews dat sommige mensen klagen over de hoge prijs in vergelijking met kwaliteit. Ik vind het logisch want binnen 230 km heb je voor de rest bijna niks. Persoonlijk vond ik het juist erg netjes en kwalitatief voor een hotel middle in the nowhere.

Daarnaast hebben ze kunst hangen van de aboriginal bevolking die er woont, wat je ook kunt kopen om hem te ondersteunen. Alle winst gaat naar die persoon.

Al met al vonden wij het een hele leuke ervaring!

Cons:

Badkamer is iets verouderd.
En er zijn 100den kakatoe’s rond het hotel, één nacht hadden wij erg last van hun getater. Maar dat hoort bij de natuur denk ik dan.

The stay was wonderful as we really loved Jabiru and all it had to offer, the hotel was well located
Pros:

The Room was beautifully done up when we checked in. The restaurant was bust and the food was good.

Cons:

The tea/coffee wasn't topped up nor were the mugs replaced nor washed. Cleanliness wasn't a strong point as the walk ways to access our rooms was always dirty. Just need a good hose down.
