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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the iconic crocodile Hotel.
Pros:

The room was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant had charming wait staff. We were surprised at considering the remote location, how beautiful the hotel was.

Cons:

I wished there was more local indigenous ingredients on the menu e.g. kakadu plums and bush spices.

You have to stay here once.
Pros:

Iconic property.

Cons:

Jabiru itself is almost a ghost town and I think I'd stay in Cooinda next time.

Pros:

Super Lage, nettes Personal, schöner Poolbereich, gutes Frühstück, hunderte Kakadus übernachten jede Nacht direkt am Hotel

Cons:

Keine Dusche oder Toilette am Pool, Pool ist ab 6.30h geöffnet, wird aber erst um 9h gesäubert, was dringend nötig ist, also kein frühes Schwimmen möglich, wenn man darauf Wert legt
