“AVERAGE”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Consider quite good for its age, does require some work done.
Rooms comfortable, TV and Wifi available
Restaurant food average,
Need more English speaking staff, as most of them cannot understand English

“Really Really Bad”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 20, 2012

What ever you do, try your best to stay somewhere else than the Christmas Island Resort. It is no resort, the rooms are filthy and smells of mould, and dead insects, there are lots of live insects inside the rooms, the staff are un-helpful and will not help you out under any circumstances (I asked to borrow a bowl and spoon and was told they dont allow that in the rooms), and there is no maintenance. It is a really sad place that has now become a domitory for the security personnel for the Immigration Detention Center. All the funds made by the resort by Australian government workers is obviously not going back into the resort or the community which is really sad given what is going on over there.

“Don't stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed June 28, 2012

The resort (if that's what you can call it) is run-down. Staff with limited English on the front desk, unable to charge meals to your room, bull ants in the iron, no on site manager. Meals average and the price of $285.00 per night is definitely far too much.

“Stay somewhere else”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

The good:
- The restaurant does good breakfast and dinners
The bad:
- 6kms from The Settlement so a hire car is mandatory
- Pool was only open one day of the seven we visited
- Staff with very limited English
The downright ugly:
- Rooms were dirty
- Sheets did not cover the mattress
- Blanket was stained and too small for the bed
- Hole in the wall of my room
- Mould on the walls
- No tiles behind the toilet
- $285 a night is an absolute rip-off
Until the owner renovated this property completely do not stay there. Do not believe the photos on their website as the rooms are nothing like it.
