Double Tree by Hilton - DARWIN CITY

This place gets two stars only because the staff were lovely and one of our table of four had a great meal. Other than that it was a poor dining experience. We did some research on restaurants near our hotel, found this one, went to the website and had a look at the menu and thought it sounded good. Got there, menu was completely different with a lesser variety of meals. One of us ordered the risotto which was essentially gluggy rice with a couple of bits of beetroot and feta thrown at it which was average to say the least, two of us had the nasi goreng which was just bland and had v little appeal but the winner was the one of us that ordered the lamb from the grill which was cooked to perfection and was v nice. We had originally intended to stay for dessert but couldn't handle any more disappointment so left.

The chef at this hotel is extremely accommodating. The meals are lovely though a little pricey in comparison to other restaurants within Darwin. Staff are sparse. But if you don't want to leave the hotel its a nice option.

Breakfast, Pineapple was exceptional, lots of choice for breakfast, great setting, really set the holiday mood having breakfast by the pool. Lunch, Good coffee, good sandwich w. excellent home made chips. Pre dinner drinks: The setting, the service, it was all just perfect.

We had lunch by the pool. It was delivered by one of the chefs and our son gave him a bit of cheek so he told him to "come for dessert after dinner" for a treat. We did and was one of the best experiences of our holidays! A 13yo is hard to impress but Chef Andy knocked his socks off with his presentation of dessert!! The 'De-con-strayed Cyclone Tracey Dessert Plate was AMAZING! The Tim Tam Pannacotta was fab too! We had a lovely evening meeting Chef Andy and Chef Preveen and Christian. Thank you so much, our young man is still talking about you! The food at Alice Springs Double tree Hilton is absolutely NO MATCH for you guys!

Only thing I can say, Is they need to be sure their swimming guest, make sure they are dry, not drip all the way to lift. Very dangerous for the other guests walking around the area
