Quite frankly I felt ripped off. We booked a Delux room, which is their standard room. We paid $300 a night to be placed in a room where the wardrobe was missing it's door. You shouldn't be placing guests in rooms when they are faulty. The rest of the room was just so horribly clinical. There were just tiles on the floor, nothing on the walls, a desk and a small table with 2 seats. The tv was tiny and you could barely see it from bed. In no way did it look like the picture on their website. And why 2 desk\table, where is a soft chair to just sit in? We complained about the wardrobe door and they moved us. The next room actually looked like the pictures advertised but it was so tired, just soooo old! We accepted the room but then didn't get any sleep as the air con had a constant high pitch ringing. We should have complained again but what was the point. They would just place us in another horrible room and the first move was already long and hard enough. Apart from the ringing air con, the lights had thick dust all over them, water damage above the door. The bed was meh. The bathroom was fairly awful, it had no extraction fan so it was a sauna when you got out of the showerbath (Goodluck if you don't have good balance). One of the towels ripped when I was drying myself. It did have a much bigger tv which was new, so that was positive. The pool towels they give you in the room are old and you will get fined if it's not taken back to the room. There is also no complimentary water or even bathrobes. It sounds picky, but many hotels in this price point all do this as standard. The pool is it's only redeeming feature but the sunloungers are all ripped and stained. They did up the infinity pool which is open to the public but they forgot to upgrade the hotel guest only lagoon pool. The swim up bar is kinda fun but don't go for the cocktails, they are really overpriced and just plain terrible ($20-22). The mango daiquiri has some cheap mango rum which has been pre-made and then Ice is just added to the blender. So you never see the alcohol go in and in what ratio. Just buy beer, then you know exactly what you get. There are actually some really good cocktail Bars in the CBD with prices around $18 and $15 for happy hour. Go and explore them. There are signs around asking for you to excuse their appearance while they undergo renovations, what exactly is that pertaining too? The exterior or interior? Because they should really inform you when you are booking that they are undergoing renos. The staff are lovely, and the front desk staff did their absolute best, it's a tough job being front desk staff. In no way is this a reflection on the staff, but the owners who have neglected to maintain and upgrade the rooms over time. I spent almost a grand in accommodation for 3 nights but these rooms weren't worth more than $150 a night. Anything more is a rip. They felt more like motel rooms. Edit: apparently i've been contacted twice and voicemails were left. Not really sure how they got my number since my partner made the booking and not me And my partner has not received anything. Also, I posted the review on a Monday but was contacted over the weekend??? So before my review was posted? That is some good psychic abilities you have there. Cheers

Darwin Mindil beach casino Illpiato supposed to be great food it was once but now the food was a horrible experience it was... Aug. 2024 10/8/24 6-15pm my partner and I were shocked the worst meal ever had there. I’m so angry it’s not cheap but we gave it a go. Horrid meals 2024 August We have been going to the same restaurant for 20 years watching the service go up and down eg manager yelling at the staff while we watched got that sorted reported him Been back for meals since But never ever had such bad drink pricing and the worst food of any restaurant in darwin rate it 1/100 don't bother going as your paying for the view it was my 70 th birthday meal thought we celebrate was l wrong. 1 $25 dry martini was served in the smallest glass the size of a golf ball !$23 At the Sandbar my cocktail had about 4 tablespoons of liquid the huge glass was full of ice the meal at lllpiato restaurant 1$12 pane mixed Italian olives and sourdough bread was not Italian and the bread was white loaf disgusting in tast I make sour dough it was not as stated 2 $15 the other order was Neapolitan pizza Nicola paramasan cheese dry and tasteless 3 mains 1 Next rack of lamb $62 artichoke sauce-saffron baby tomatoes 1 Pistachio nil 1/2 plate of dry salad Too much bread crumbs made the rack look bigger no flavour 2 $56 mains grilled salmon calamari tiger prawns 3 salsa Verda (fennel nil) Fridee salad no dressing dry salad from Cole's desert can't remember price choice was really poor too but I'm guessing $15 or more or more 1 lemon tart with huge Merang on top Size tiny 1 teaspoon lemon sauce in stale casing the whole thing tasted 5 days old threw to merang to the side as it was triple the size of the rest didn't eat the whole thing only one mouth tasted the crust and lemon and passed on it It was my 70 birthday what a horrid disappointment prices and food was the worst I had ever had in all my years. Martin glass from sandbar was the size of a GOLF BALL NOT EVEN A CORECT GLASS FOR A MARTINI FOR SUCH A LARGE VENUE SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON THE CASINO OVERPRICED CHEA MEALS AND DRINKS we are locals returning too

Here's another hotel living off its position. My room wasn’t 4-star or luxury: it was basic, dated and in need of a good makeover. Housekeeping was shockingly poor and unreliable: no service at all on day 2, then 3 days of no servicing until I requested it mid-afternoon (when, instead of unwinding, I had to vacate my room again). At nearly $300 per night, I expect better. Other low points included: centralised air-conditioning; a bathroom tap that fell off; sharing my room with a gecko; common areas stained and littered all day (or longer); being charged twice for 3 more days instead of being refunded for 3 (after complaining about housekeeping failures). So much for that relaxing break... Sure, the sea views are great – even serial underinvestment can't spoil those - but you will pay (lots) more for the privilege, and see them from a ridiculously small, cramped balcony, of which half (literally) is taken up by an abandoned planter, now roughly covered with AstroTurf - stylish! I won't be an inmate, sorry guest, here again. Stay in central Darwin for better choices of accommodation, bars and restaurants. It's a quick, cheap Uber ride to Mindil Beach, where you can still hang out at the Infinity pool here, visit the market and watch the sunset – then return to a modern, clean, comfortable, fairly-priced room. Repeat as desired...

Two day getaway with the wife for her birthday. It was just so refreshing. The quietness, the blackout curtains - had the best sleep Ins. No kids are running a muck. Was awesome! The fridge was very cool and kept the drinks icy cold. We enjoyed our stay, we didn't want to checkout but we will be back. Thanks, Mindil Beach Casino.

We'd never been to the casino. Parking is a little walk from the front entrance and there is a lovely garden at the front. We told reception we wanted to enjoy a cocktail before our when asked where we could before our dinner booking at the italian restaurant. We were directed to a tiny bar internally near a bistro...which we thought was odd, given the location on the water. When we were directed to the italian restaurant, we noticed a wonderful Sand bar facing the water which had live music! We had a balcony table at the italian restaurant to take in the incredible sunset. The food and beverage menu's are good and we enjoyed our meals. The waitress was lovely. It was the first of three special dinners in Darwin, celebrating our 20th Anniversary and my first visit. The location would be great to have a garden sunset wedding or cocktail event. The casino offers accommodation and a Chinese restaurant.
