Accommodation very good and convenient to visits the attractions of Kakadu. Restaurant closing times however do not reflect the activities in the area. Eg to be accepting last dinner orders at 8:15 pm is too early when guests have been out viewing sunsets 45 mins drive from the resort.

We had a nice stay at Mercure. Spacious room and comfortable bed. Staff were lovely, mainly young overseas workers who did a great job. Aircon had a malfunction but was quickly repaired on request. Pool was refreshing. Food was very nice, had both the buffet and a la carte. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Poor state of repair - old and tired
We’ve stayed here a few times over the years - for the middle of nowhere it is fine but that’s it. More like a large motel. Old and dated rooms - poor service - in desperate need of repair and maintenance. We stayed for two nights and then moved to Cooinda Lodge which was much better! A Highway motel at hotel prices - but they charge you as they’re the only option there! Embarrassing for the Mercure brand!

Reception service was excellent and though the rooms may look a little tired a dated in places they are clean and perfectly adequate. We encountered a problem with the kettle which shorted out the electrics in our room a couple of times but someone came quickly on each occasion to reset it. Otherwise everything was good.

The Croc, as the locals call it, has been standing there in the excessive heat and humidity for a while now, so don't expect everything to be shining new and clean. The rooms are sizable and well furnished. But the bathroom and the "kitchen" area (doorway), although both well stocked, are very small hence difficult to use, also in need of a renovation. They could have easily reduced the size of the living area and gave them both some more space. I don't understand why they had to design them so cramped. There's a plug-in flashlight by the bathroom door for night adventures as there's no public lighting beyond the immediate premises of the building. You may find one or two lights in the room are broken too. Maybe due to its remote location, a thorough fix-up is not easily done. The staff members are efficient and very helpful. But seriously understaffed during wet season. Decent in-house restaurant that provides three meals a day (usually continental only in the morning, no full buffet but with a la carte available as well). All in all, apart from the particular shape of the build, pretty standard. A small swimming pool in the courtyard, convenient and good for socialising. But you don't have to be restricted to it. Just some 200m away is the town's public swimming pool which only costs $5 per entry and it's a hidden gem! You simply have to check it out. The only place to be in the unbearable arvo heat.
