Amazing stay, infinity pool area made it for us, tunes, drinks, incredibly relaxing, great restaurants, but most importantly best sunsets in Darwin. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else
Rachel, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
