Mindil Beach Casino Resort
5/5 Excellent
"What can I say, I can’t recommend this place enough my children & I had a fantastic time they were sad to leave. The staff were amazing, the swim up bar was AMAZING. To be able to get food & drinks by the pool was the icing on the cake. That was my kids way of getting us to stay in the pool & how can I forget the Infinity pool the views of the sunrise & sunset in that pool were priceless. ✅✅✅✅✅"
