We stayed at the Dynasty last Jan but have decided to go 'downmarket' in future because it's just too expensive. For a family with little kids it's great - kids club, activities, water slides, kiddies pool, pool bar, several bars & restaurants in the grounds etc. but as kids get older or certainly if you don't need all these this provided for you - AND you're paying for them whether or not you use them!!, there are loads of smaller, far far cheaper alternatives. Can't really say whether or not you've been ripped off, for the accomodation, but it does sound pricey. We dont use the hotel transfers any more - they're far too expensive! We use a local taxi & they're everywhere!- airport to Dynasty is probably only A$5-6 - certainly transfer costs sound like a rip off! Brekkies at Dynsaty are wonderful & expensive, there's loads of cheaper restaurants around the hotel. As I said, we did the whole Dynasty bit in Jan - transfers, brekkies 2 rooms etc, but no more!
