Loved staying at The Mindil Beach Resort. Staff were amazing and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. Restaurants and staff were very efficient with a variety of international foods. But the best features were the pools and stunning sunsets.

The resort was fantastic, pool at your door, generous room sizes. Great Chinese restaurant. The only detraction was the leftover roomservice trays that seemed to stay outside rooms for over a day, reducing the amenity when you've walked past the same tray several times.

The property has lovely amenities including the infinity pool, the lagoon pool, several on site dining establishments and large rooms. Reception was attentive and assisted with all queries. Housekeeping did a terrific job in keeping the rooms clean and tidy. I was a bit disappointed by the limited items for guest use in the room. Very limited options in the provided tea/coffee supplies. Hard to control bulk dispensing pumps in the shower and basin. The bed, though large, was not comfortable and was not wheel locked in place. Just a few things would have made it a great experience. Overall, a nice place to spend 1-2 days while exploring the area.

A little bit of luxury in Darwin

We had a lovely stay at the resort. Our room had a beautiful big king bed and big batgtub and it looked out over the lagoon and the beach. We could watch the sunsets from our balcony. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our little romantic getaway weekend.

The property is tired. there was what looked like mould in the shower. The toilet seat doesn't have the rubber buffers underneath it, so moves around a bit. The bathroom bin is chipped. The tiled floor is unusual, and the bed moves around on this hard floor. Room service took two calls to get it right, as I was transferred the first time to another number that never answered. Apart from this, generally, the staff were pleasant and efficient. Room service was quick and correct. I'm not returning.
