A little bit of luxury in Darwin

We had a lovely stay at the resort. Our room had a beautiful big king bed and big batgtub and it looked out over the lagoon and the beach. We could watch the sunsets from our balcony. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our little romantic getaway weekend.

The property is tired. there was what looked like mould in the shower. The toilet seat doesn't have the rubber buffers underneath it, so moves around a bit. The bathroom bin is chipped. The tiled floor is unusual, and the bed moves around on this hard floor. Room service took two calls to get it right, as I was transferred the first time to another number that never answered. Apart from this, generally, the staff were pleasant and efficient. Room service was quick and correct. I'm not returning.

Sadly not good this time around

Stay a few times here and it was always excellent. This time not so good, 1st we tried to add drinks to our room which apparently did not recognise us as being at that room so the staff member accused us of not wanting to pay! - very humiliating and not our fault their backend systems are wrong! 2nd they let someone add food to our room bill and following the drinks situation we never added anything else to our bill. Very disappointed this time around especially worse as it was a weekend away for my partners birthday- certainly will think again about staying
