Top Aquascene Hotel Reviews

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Initial room I had booked through an agent was rather average and looked nothing like the images on the website. For a “deluxe king room” we had no view except the tops of trees and a tin roof we could walk on if we wanted! The good part was I decided to be a kind Karen and mention something to a gorgeous lady at reception who personally walked us to two rooms to pick from and upgrade at a discounted fee. The new room had amazing view of mindil beach and the lagoon pool. Amenities were amazing. Only thing to change would be to add some more crockery and cutlery along with a microwave to warm your own food or baby bottles if travelling with small children. Highly enjoyed my stay once the room was changed!"
