Cullen Bay Resort
Staff was nice but the room was covered with mold smell from the bathroom and dust was piling up around the A/C and windows. Not cleaned enough. Also the room was very outdated. Definitely needs a refurbishment.

Spacious Beachside Retreat, Plunge Pool + Patio
Palms City Resort
Nice place to stay clean etc. But when I booked over a month ago thought they might at least do sandwiches or some hot food. Continental breakfast looked very ‘slap dash’ for the price so found myself heading to supermarkets or cafes. Think should cater more even in wet season.

Mindil Beach Casino Resort
The room was basic and not very clean. Linen was good. View from Balcony over looking drive way was terrible, it was so disappointing. Main bed needs a bedside table bith sides. Ammenities and pool was fantastic.
