I would have loved to give all 5 star reviews however we had a speaker hanging off the ceiling with a 1 inch gap, near the bed, you are always worried about secret cameras lol.
Also, one night we got room service, the burgers were so burnt and charcoal we would have sent them back if we weren't drunk and starving.
Oh, one night we got a fruit platter and it looked liked it was cut up and fridged 4 days ago.
Apart from that, we loved our stay, room 888, it wasn't lucky lol.

We got to the hotel in the morning before check in but were given a temporary key to use the pool facilities. The pool is absolutely amazing and we enjoyed using this facility, however, the day we were there it was Easter Monday and for some reason the pool bar was closed, hence the pool area was pretty quiet. We could order drinks through a telephone service by the pool but it took a whole hour to have the drinks delivered. So we were wondering how the rest of the service was going to be during our stay. Later on when checking in we were upgraded free of charge to a Penthouse which was actually amazing. It was our wedding anniversary and I had only booked a standard king room so this was a wonderful surprise. Also we were given a bottle of champagne on ice on arrival to our Penthouse. We had booked a meal out that night and felt reluctant to leave the lovely Penthouse!! Thank you for upgrade The Darling! We also wanted to try the Nineteen restaurant but prior to our night at the Darling, I found out that the Nineteen restaurant wasn't open on Monday nights, so I managed to book into a neighbouring hotel for the night before so we could try the restaurant on the Sunday evening which was absolutely fantastic. We did have to pay surcharges during our stay as it was the Easter public holiday. But well worth it and extremely enjoyable.
