International cuisine (not). Everything about this hotel is appalling. Why not have troughs and just herd the victims into the place with cattle prods?? For a world class attraction (the Rock), amenities for travellers are atrocious. Go to the supermarket instead. The entire town of Yulara is an exercise in tourist exploitation. Service?

We selected the bbq since there was no restaurant available at our hotel (Sails). This was part of the same resort infrastructure. The bbq was very poor in terms of selection and meat quality. More

I've read about the reviews and was expecting a satisfactory meal but i was disappointed. I ordered some pretty exotic meat (croc, emu, kangaroo) and ended up eating only half of the portion. That would have been fine if the salad had been great, but they looked sloppy and not at all appetising. The bar service was slow and the... More
