Brad, Jan 2018
Pros (+) Location it’s a big bucket list for most that want to see that type of beauty, but a 4-Star stay it is not—I don’t even think I saw more than 10% Aborigines and it’s on there land, I couldn’t understand that.
Cons (-) Almost everything, the help, the cleanliness, the obvious upselling and un accomodating service a single guy gets—might as well treat me like a pauper—from the dinner placement and glib responses. 10$ for a soda is one thing that smells like an obvious cash grab. If it wasn’t for the view and location—must would say they had enough!
