The Darling is a beautiful and luxurious hotel. We had a wonderful experience here that began with the lovely lady at check in who was so nice, polite. friendly and extremely helpful. We were celebrating my husband's 60th Birthday and had booked a beautiful Stellar Suite for 2 nights. As we opened the door to our room, to our surprise, we realised that we had been upgraded to one of the amazing Penthouse suites!! Thank you so much to the lovely lady at checkin and the team at The Darling that helped make my husband's 60th Birthday a very memorable one. We had such a wonderful stay here we would definitely recommend spoiling yourself and staying here!!

Beautiful property. I would recommend the Darling to anyone wanting a gc holiday. Spacious room and bathroom. Comfortable bed and great housekeeping service. Well mainted luxury. Truly 5 star. The harvest buffet breakfast however was most disappointing. Terrible food,dirty tables and restaurant was overcrowded. Food is not replenished properly. Condiment bowls were empty and remain empty. I wasnt expecting Darling guests to be dining there.
