Perfect.
Pros:

The rooms, amazing breakfast, and the amazing facilities we could relax at while we waited for our next flight, after we had checked out of our (stunning rooms)

Cons:

Nothing! We will be back. It was stunning from start to finish, and we didn't want to leave! The staff, the rooms, the pool, the breakfast. We loved it all. Such a pleasant surprise, right there at Darwin Airport.

Short but good, restaurant was great for breakfast
Pros:

Location, cleanliness

Cons:

Availability of late check in 1am was good but we didn’t receive clear instructions to find our room so was wandering around the resort looking for our room until a staff member found us and redirected us.

It served a purpose, but will likely not bother to stay for the same cost.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room and bed were very small for the price paid. Did not see the value. Just ramping up price for the dry season.

Pros:

The food and beverage facilities were great and our accommodation was perfect except a few problems.
The room was absolutely spotless and very impressive with anything you required being available.

Cons:

On arrival after long hot day travelling we discovered that our room fridge was not operating thus couldn't get our drinks cold. I wasn't a happy person at all and unfortunately got pretty uptight. The staff were great and organised a esky with ice.
The other issue is that the both days we stayed the television lost connection and had to arrange staff on both occasions to correct. Not something that should happen in any accommodation.

Very unhappy would not recommend to others
Pros:

Nothing went well

Cons:

The night we arrived I checked in could not find our room it had taken a while until we found it. There were no signs up there could not find any staff to ask for assistance. When we got to the room there was no water pressure in the shower. Contacted reception we were then shifted to another room. Paying that amount of money wasn't happy at all

A terrible night
Pros:

The room was clean and large.

Cons:

The room is large and clean. But the staff attitude was shocking. We arrived late, after midnight, and were given a key card and showed where the building is, a few minutes from reception. Unfortunately, the key didn't work, so I had to come back to the reception. They gave us another key card, which didn't work. And they treated us like there is our problem the key doesn't work. Finally, some staff let us in the room using a master key and we were left without any key card. Anyway, before 8 am they knocked on our door, waking us up after to repair the lock. We complained to a manager at the check out. They charge a $250 penalty if you lose your key, but there is obviously no penalty for them if they fail to provide any key. The worst thing was the staff attitude though.

Slightly frustrating
Pros:

The pool / bar area was beautiful.

Cons:

My door wouldn't lock. I tried ringing 9 for reception repeatedly, and no-one picked up the call. I went down, and reported it, and it was reported to maintenance immediately (via text), and they took my mobile number so I would be called when it was fixed. I had dinner, and 2 hours later went back to my room and it wasn't fixed. I dialled 9 repeatedly, no answer. So walked back down, and was told that there were no maintenance staff working, so I had to change rooms. The check in process also took so long, and there were often queues of people waiting. The safe in both rooms were nor working either.
