We had one night in Jabiru which was our last night in Kakadu. I found the hotel really lovely - the front desk team were very warm and welcoming. The restaurant meals (Dinner & Breakfast) were fantastic - way beyond my expectations. I shared a room with a friend and we had 2 double beds - I was surprised how much room we had. The room had sliding doors opening out onto the grass which gave a nice open feel to the room. (And thank you for the hairdryer in the room - it's the little things :-) ) I also loved the Indigenous art everywhere. I would definitely stay at The Croc again.

We arrived here after a very long day of travelling and hiking around Kakadu. The service we experienced throughout from check-in to check out was great. The rooms were clean, good size and the beds really comfortable. The buffet dinner was of a high standard but it as the service received from the Manager Jacinta that made the night. She was as good a restaurant manager as we’ve seen in a long time…… positive, polite and took everything in her stride despite it being busy. I’m not one to write reviews but she made the experience at this hotel so much better.

The staff are kind & friendly but this is an establishment with a significant deferred maintenance problem. The rooms are grubby and rundown. Among the issues in my room alone (I didn’t venture into the outdoor areas): - the air filter is filthy & clogged with lint (I’m sure it would contravene health regulations); - the bathroom is tired and only superficially clean. (The bathroom should really be gutted and refitted but if there isn’t sufficient money to do that, a team of deep cleaners needs to come through the place to clean and sterilise the bathrooms from top to bottom.); - the curtain rod has detached from the curtain, so the only way to open and close it is to grab the fabric, which adds to the grubbiness problem; - the cushions on the lounge chairs need replacing - they have been compressed to the point that they no longer qualify as cushions; - the fridge is old and incapable of adequate cooling (BTW, my fridge contained a water bottle with no water in it. I had to buy water from the supermarket); - the overhead fan needs cleaning to remove the dust and lint that have accumulated, probably over years The daily spit & polish performed by backpacker staff is obviously insufficient to deal with such issues. Nor is it an overnight fix, there is just too much to be done. What is required is a comprehensive management plan to work systematically through the deferred maintenance that has been backing up for years. If my experience in the restaurant is anything to go by, I suspect understaffing may be partly to blame. Two or 3 pleasant but anxious young wait staff scurry about the place at buffet breakfast sittings while patrons resort to drinking hot tea out of glasses and eating cereal from plates because the cups and bowls have run out. It pains me to record such things as I have no doubt everyone, including management, is doing their best. I suspect the fundamental problem here is declining revenue as people tighten their belts under cost of living pressures. But there’s no point gilding the lily, business as usual is no longer an option. Someone in charge needs to put their mind to the maintenance and refurbishment problem before revenue dries up completely.

The rooms are a little dated, in particular the bathroom. Outside the room area very dated and no nice area to sit. However, the restaurant meal was the worst I have had. When we ordered, the waitress was tapping her pen when my wife was deciding on her meal. She seemed more interested in getting back behind the counter. When the meal was delivered, entree and my wife’s meal was delivered. After 25 minutes and my 3rd drink, I then had to go ask where my meal was, the reply, “ did you want the meals together” which I said yes to, the waitress then said she would see where it was. 15minutes later, my wife’s meal has well and truly finished her meal. At this stage I had to go back up, tell them I wanted my meal, to again the waitress replied I’ll see where it is. Some time after that my meal finally arrived, they had already cleared the table of entree and my wife’s main. Some time later a waiter then apologized for the meal. I’m in my mid 60s, I’ve never had cause to complain about service in my life. Absolutely the worst service I have ever had.
