4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

I had one of those stays where if it could go wrong it did, but the hotel handled it well and straight away so I ended up laughing about them. My only concern when I left (after four days) was room service was not delivering what was on the menu, the food was okay just not the same. More

My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and decided to stay at Skycity Darwin. When we booked we were not advised that there was building renovations happening. The noise started very early in the morning so therefore we were not able to sleep in and relax. I spoke to the travel agent that I booked with when... More

I stayed here in May 2012 for a conference held in the casino. My room was lovely, the bed and bathroom were very good. The casinos facilities are ample. I didn't get to use the pool but it wasn't crowded despite it being 33degrees. One thing about the room was the fact that the air conditioning was not able to... More

This is our second trip to Darwin and our second stay at Skycity. Just as before we enjoyed our stay. The resort is lovely, the pool picturesque, the rooms spacious and well appointed, the facilities excellent and the Sunset Restaurant excellent value and good quality food. Joining the Action Club at the casino, which was free, provided extra benefits and... More

This hotel is in a great location with everything you need. If you need to go into town there is a bus stop at the front or if you are going at the right time there is a bus service by the hotel. Service was great both in the hotel and the casino. Great variety of meals available and i... More

I am a regular traveller to Darwin and this hotel is always my first choice. Right on the beach the infinity pool, ocean and sunsets make it the clear winner out of all Darwin accommodation. We often spend entire days by the pool. As it's a casino, food and drink is very reasonably priced - including room and pool-side service.... More

Avoid this hotel whilst their extension and renovations are in progress! Simply too noisy to really allow any sort of relaxing stay. The work is scheduled for completion in late 2012. There are two distinct components of the work that's happening right now, the construction of the new property and the renovation of the old. It's the renovation work that... More

This hotel is located right on the beachfront and is well positioned close the city. Forming part of the casino complex it is close to food, beverage and entertainment. There are building works going on but they didnt seem to impinge on our experience as we paid more to take a room on the beachfront side. I am not sure... More
