The room was nice the food was poor. Not much of a choice. Each morning woken up bye noisy work men on there speaker phone. Flashing lights on work trucks. And the worse Casino i have been to. Glad I only booked four nights. Moved to a better and cheaper motel. I wouldn’t recommend staying there.

The pool is amazing, it has a sandy beach at one end and is huge with a swim up bar. Unfortunately we could not swim off the real beach just in front of the hotel as it was rainy season and there is a risk of salty crocodiles and box jelly fish. The casino is huge and a bit off putting. Most rooms are pretty basic but we were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine, which was most welcome. The rooms around the big pool are really great
