We enjoyed staying at the new Skycity Lagoon king rooms. We had a room on the second floor (up one flight of stairs), which overlooked the beautiful lagoon pool. We also had a view of the ocean. The grounds are beautifully maintained, as s the pool. Our room was very clean and modern. The bed was extremely comfortable, which we... More

I stayed here for six nights at the end of April, in the Hotel side for the first 4 nights, and the Lagoon side for the last 2 nights. I know it's very expensive, but the Lagoon side blew my socks off, so if you can stretch your budget I highly recommend it. Not that there's anything wrong with the... More

Being locals on a night away, we only stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. We stayed in a ground floor room, in the older part of the hotel (Room #82). The room was very well appointed, and had very recently been renovated. It was equipped as a handicap-friendly room, which for us meant a massive triple head shower... More

Darwin was the start of our 14th trip to OZ, and this was our fifth stay at SkyCity. We booked one of the new lagoon rooms. Wonderful room, with ladder, from our lanai, into the lagoon. Short swim to the swimup bar. Good service. Chinese restaurant in casino was excellent. Only shortcoming, with a green designation, the new rooms are... More

After visiting Skycity Darwin for a friends bucks party, we left a little disapointed after booking at Skycity. The old section of the hotel was way below standard for a 5 star hotel, and i wouldn't even recommend staying here if you were planning on being in one of these rooms. The price for staying in peak season bordered on... More

The new lagoon rooms at sky city Darwin are brilliant. Spacious and well laid out with plenty of room, large bathroom and great comfortable beds. Definitely go for the slightly more expensive ground floor rooms where you have a large balcony with a separate deck area for sun loungers and best of all, from here you can simply slip into... More

Room was comfortable and bathroom had been updated. No view. No robes provided in room but these were provided with a call to housekeeping. The Italian restaurant was good along with the food from the pool bar menu. Staff were helpful. Overall if we were to stay again I would book a lagoon view room as these look lovely.
