I had a fantastic second week in Darwin thanks to this hotel! The spacious rooms with efficient air conditioning really helped me cool off after a day out. The view of the marina was spectacular, especially at sunset. It's in a nice spot close to several restaurants, but some amenities could use an update. Overall, it was great value for the price!

I had a great experience staying at the resort. The views over the marina were simply breathtaking, and I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to assist me. The pool was a fantastic spot for the kids, and I enjoyed unwinding by the BBQ facilities. However, the walls were quite thin, making it a bit noisy at times, and I would have preferred a bit more soundproofing in the rooms.
