The pool is amazing, it has a sandy beach at one end and is huge with a swim up bar. Unfortunately we could not swim off the real beach just in front of the hotel as it was rainy season and there is a risk of salty crocodiles and box jelly fish. The casino is huge and a bit off putting. Most rooms are pretty basic but we were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine, which was most welcome. The rooms around the big pool are really great

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.
