We have stayed at this hotel a number of times now and will continue to do so. The hotel staff are always friendly and helpful and the facilities are more than adequate. The seafood buffet for dinner is great value. The pool overlooks the beach and you can enjoy a cocktail sitting in the pool watching the sunset ... just magical. The hotel provides a bus service to the town but it is easier to have your own transport, the shops are not close by. This hotel is ideal for a relaxing time-out holiday.

Very pleased with Skycity. Very

Very pleased with Skycity. Very friendly efficient service. Excellent value buffet style restaurant. Rooms spacious with generous towels etc. Exceptionally nice swimming pool area facing sea. No screaming children, anyway when we were there! Only drawback is that you are slightly out of town and need to rely on taxis (8 mins to centre). The price you pay for being by the beach.

Swimming pool is great with fantastic sunset views. Some nice dining and bar areas. Next door to Mindle Market which is very handy. Courtesy bus (5 minute drive) into town is a bonus. Second time we have stayed and will be visiting again.

Skycity hotel exceeded my expectations.

Skycity hotel exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with the size and condition of the rooms and by the service. It is in close proximity to the city centre and is located just by mindl beach. If only there wasn't a casino right next door !
