“I think this resort's tropical garden setting, so close to Darwin's heart, makes it a relaxing option. The villas seem well-suited for both families and anyone wanting a touch of privacy. I also appreciate that there are varied dining choices nearby and that the hotel has its own breakfast buffet.”

tropical Oasis experience
excellent locationtropical gardensfriendly staffweak wifi
the location was excellent, just a short walk to many restaurants and shops. the tropical gardens created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. the room was comfortable and well-equipped. i found the staff to be friendly and helpful .
the wifi signal was weak in my room, it was sometimes difficult to stay connected. this made working remotely a challenge. i hope they can improve the wifi coverage throughout the hotel.

amazing stay!
great locationgentle breezeclean roommixer tap
i loved how close everything was! the waterfront, shopping, and restaurants were so easy to reach. the resort is open and sitting outside was great because of the breeze. the rooms were super clean, and i think they just fixed them up, always a plus!
i had a bit of trouble with the shower, it seemed hard to get the temperature right and that was a bit annoying (but i figured it out eventually!).
Facilities
9/10
this hotel offers a lovely pool where i could take a refreshing dip during the day, and the surrounding area included many loungers, so i could comfortably relax and bask in the sun after a quick swim. they also have a cool outdoor breakfast area. i enjoyed my daily chats with pickles, the friendly parrot!
Location
10/10
the location here is unbeatable, putting me within a short walk of the esplanade foreshore area. the main shopping streets, so i could easily go wherever i needed to go! it's also centrally located, yet still quiet (best of both worlds!).
Rooms

i stayed in a compact villa that had everything i needed. a lovely bbq on the patio, perfect for a chill evening. the villa was super clean and surrounded by palms, a nice touch. the bed was comfy and the shower was awesome!
