Premium prices, lacking in basics
Pros:

Good location, everything in one spot. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I was excited when I arrived when I was told I was given a room upgrade. Unfortunately the couch in the bungalow was disgustingly stained. Looked like many people had urinated on it. Charging what they do per night, just throw it out and get a new one. Shower head was also broken, was spraying everywhere. The lock on the glass door was broken and didn’t seem very secure.

Quick visit to Darwin
Pros:

Bed was very comfortable, room was well laid out

Cons:

Fridge was not that cold. Housekeeping did not change cups and glasses that were used.
Could hear doors being slammed in corridor from room, think the doors need to be fitted with a soft close device.

Pros:

I liked the size of the room, very comfortable bed, the resort itself very good.

Cons:

Didn't like that was no water in the room in the arrival (at least 2 small bottles) and also that they put us in a disabled facility unit, so the bathroom wasn't the one we expected. Also shower doesn't have cold water, only warm/hot.

Great place to spend a holiday.
Pros:

Rooms were large and clean. Daily housekeeping was good. I’ve to have the rooms cleaned everyday with fresh towels. The garden and surrounds were beautiful and well maintained. The different section on pools was great especially for kids. The Poolhouse meals were of a high standard. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Airport transfers were very convenient.

Cons:

The children’s area in the main pool had no shade cloth so couldn’t take them in the water in the day.

Pros:

The staff were good and the location not far from the airport.

Cons:

The main glass sliding door was barely in tact, I didn't feel safe because it didn't look secure. The screen door was ok but I was worried about the main glass sliding door just didn't feel safe. The couch had big stains on it and didn't look clean. There were ants all over the couch and bench top.
