Wow! The Tropical Pool Villa was amazing. Having our own private pool was awesome. The room was neat, clean and had a stylish interior. Gorgeous view out the back into the bush. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

We've stayed there a few times and the pool is the highlight. The only issue we had this time was the gentleman that checked us in did not think we'd booked breakfast when our email stated that we did. The lady on the desk the following day could immediately see that we had in fact paid for the breakfast. Aside from that, another good stay.

We frequently stay at this hotel but were disappointed this time when our $399 room (for one night) had a broken shower. We found this out in the morning when we went to use it! Very disappointing that this had not been picked up by the cleaner or reported by the previous guest. Waste of money!
The compact room was nice enough but reminded me of a worker camp. Shuttle to the airport was prompt as I got it just as some FIFO workers were heading over for a early morning flight. The restaurant was busy and had table service but the staff didn't seem to have sections as I had different servers asking if I needed to order.
