I was surprised by how nice this resort was since it's in such a remote location, however it does feel past it's prime. I expect little has changed since the 90s. There are three restaurants on site, and they all charge far more than you would pay for a restaurant if equal quality elsewhere. There is nowhere else you can eat near the resort so they kind of have you over a barrel.

We ate at the Sand and Wood twice. A pretty mediocre Continental breakfast costs $27. For dinner entrees where from $16-29 and mains about $30+

The nicer restaurant on site I can't recall the name but we ate there as well and prices are slightly higher. This one shoots for a fine dining experience but missed the mark. We and three other tables had bookings but were not seated until over one hour beyond our booked time, our order was initially not submitted when we gave it and we asked another server to check. They had to retake our order three times in total before we got any food delivered, and when they checked each time the order submitted was incorrect. The food we got was boring and unremarkable. One dish we ordered was the Open Ravioli. This dish was a few pasta sheets laid over a few prawns and scallops smothered in sauce, but the tails were still in the prawns! I found that quite odd.

Overall if it wasn't for having to eat at the restaurants I would give the resort a higher rating. It's also difficult to spend the day driving with your own 4x4 as we did because there are no options to get lunch you can take with you.
