“The resort certainly stakes its claim as a destination in itself; the draw of multiple restaurants, gaming tables, and a beachfront location beside the Arafura Sea certainly makes a stay self-contained. I particularly like the adult-only lagoon pool and swim-up bar. Overall, it strikes me as a polished option whether for a quick flutter at the casino or a longer Darwin stay.”
