I had an overall pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the comfortable accommodations and helpful staff. The amenities were good, and it felt like a great value for the price. However, I did encounter some issues with late arrival access and a few maintenance problems in one of the villas. Still, I would consider returning next time, especially armed with better knowledge about the check-in process.

Rooms

The villas were generally spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a kitchenette, although one of the units I stayed in had some maintenance issues. The first unit was lovely and comfortable, but the second one was quite shabby with a broken toilet and power issues.

The staff were friendly and eager to help, particularly in resolving issues that arose during my stay. However, the late check-in process left something to be desired.

The pool area was clean and enjoyable, albeit unheated, which made it a bit chilly when the sun wasn't out. Basic amenities were provided, but there’s no on-site dining option.

During my stay, I found the hotel to be good value for money with cozy rooms and convenient amenities like an on-site laundry. However, the service at reception could use improvement, as the staff member I encountered had a rather indifferent attitude. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking to save some cash while in Alice Springs.

I had such a lovely stay at this resort! The little lodges are adorable, perfect for relaxing evenings with a glass of wine on the veranda. The pool area was lively, and while I didn’t take a dip, it looked inviting. Plus, the convenience of having a mini kiosk for snacks and drinks was great. The proximity to the casino was a nice bonus, but keep in mind it’s more of a 3-star vibe rather than luxury.

I found this resort to be a fantastic surprise! The location was perfect, just a short walk from the casino, and the overall facilities were beautiful. The only downside was some reception staff lacking local knowledge. Overall, great value for what I paid, but there are some areas for improvement.

We enjoyed our stay during the Finke Desert Race, with top-class accommodation and a great location near the casino and town center. The rooms were spacious and provided everything we needed, plus the staff was friendly and helpful. However, we did hear some comments from others about the decline in quality since management changed, which is concerning if you're looking for a consistent experience.
