Mindil Beach was excellent, great value for money, new pool area was fabulous, old one was nice too. Restaurants were all very very high standard, and never saw a staff member that didn't have a freindly greeting and a smile.

The resort was fantastic, pool at your door, generous room sizes. Great Chinese restaurant. The only detraction was the leftover roomservice trays that seemed to stay outside rooms for over a day, reducing the amenity when you've walked past the same tray several times.
