Location on waterfront is good. Good views. Check in requires a bond of $100 for every night you stay. Rooftop bar was far too busy and crowded. 25 minutes wait to get a glass of wine. Parking is not monitored or charged so anyone can use it - including people just going for drinks. No breakfast on site besides exorbitantly expensive room service. Food choices poor. Pool closes very early. All gym / facilities are not on site, theyre at the casino next door. Room was mostly good. Bed mildy comfortable. Strange room style with sliding windows bedroom to bathroom. Automatic lights. Which wake you up if you get up in the night. Balcony was dusty. Definitely not a 5 star hotel, and we have travelled a lot. Good ipad idea to get room serviced, however the staff dont read what you ordered properly. Pilllow choices were not as described. Yes its a 4 star, definitely not 5.

The room was modern, well sized and the bed was super comfy after a long day travelling/working. I dined at Terasu which was fantastic! Highly recommend the Kingfish Cervice! I also went to the rooftop bar and although the weather was overcast and incredibly windy, the view was fantastic. I would love to come back and enjoy this bar on a day when the sun is shining and it's not blowing a gale!

The staff training was poor. The front desk was friendly but needed to check the manager for each request, making it slow. I rang guest services on 9, and it was not answered. There was no ringback. I tried several times, and the call went unanswered each time. I left it open to the bank music for a long time, and it was unanswered. At check-out time, the staff knocked on the door. I opened the door to house cleaning, still within check out times. The coffee-making facility was unusual, with a fiddly packet filter style. The capsules are easier, particularly in the early morning.

We had a good week at Ardo. Stating for a week it was tedious having to ask for our room to be made up every day. Critisms - rooms very small for a ‘5’ star hotel. We never got tea and milk replenished. Luxury escapes was a good deal. The additional 4 nights I paid for my daughter - expensive for a view of the carpark!

An exceptional property that truly makes the most of it's stunning waterfront location. Beautifully designed for comfort and relaxation, with world-class views whether from the rooftop bar and pool, or our comfy king-size bed. Great value for money too, especially with full access to the pool and restaurants of Ardo's sister property, The Ville Resort Casino next door.
