Noise of a huge group partying continuously throughout the night. Horrible! No sleep. Security continually called, but unable to control the groups. The worst experience I have ever had. “Tiwi Bombers” should be ashamed, disgusting behaviour! Absolutely no respect for any other guests.

The resort is always convenient for airport travel. Some rooms are getting dated. There was a problem with our booking (they were over-booked) so we got upgraded. But then the air-con didn't work in one room, so we were moved again. The upgrades were nice but it was a hassle. There is limited dining on site and they seem to have blocked Uber Eats from being able to deliver.
