Skycity Darwin ReviewAttached to Darwin's casino on Fannie Bay, this is Darwin's only five-star beachfront resort. Owned by the Skycity Entertainment Group. The complex resembles a tropical palace, with white blocky architecture, an infinity-edge pool, and 7 hectares (18 acres) of gardens on Mindil Beach, next to the Botanic Gardens and the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets. The rooms are elegantly furnished in tropical style and all have private balconies. It's worth paying a little extra for an ocean-facing room so you can watch Darwin's great Dry season sunsets and spectacular monsoon-season lightning storms. Superior rooms feature luxurious spa baths and cool marble in the bathrooms. Full-length glass windows provide views over a private balcony terrace to lush tropical gardens and Mindil beach. A free shuttle runs four times a day to and from the city. In mid-2012 the hotel will unveil 36 new luxury guestrooms and villas, some offering a "swim-up, swim-out" experience, built around a lush tropical lagoon with swim-up bar and private beach. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
