Room was very small.

Single storey bungalows with great balconies.

We enjoyed two nights in a garden bungalow, with a shady deck right next to the pool. Having a barbecue on the deck on a tropical Darwin evening was just divine.

We had some people doing burnouts then parked right out the front of our Villa 233. Not a fault of the hotel just unfortunate as it was uncomfortable until they moved on.

Everything was great! Had a wonderful stay.

The front desk staff were outstanding and probably the best I have ever encountered. We had a couple of problems and they went way out of their way and responded beautifully.

All good.

Clean, spacious, a little oasis. Great breakfast. Overall excellent value.

Different pillow options would be a nice value add. We personally found them to be a bit "flat" and had stiff necks after the first night. The water temperature in the showers can be difficult to adjust at times (we found this in all rooms we stayed in). However, these were minor things and didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of our stay.

The location and surroundings are fantastic. It really doesn't feel like you're in the CBD, but rather a tropical island paradise! The gardens are just beautiful, and the rooms are thoughtfully designed. We have stayed in all room types (hotel, bungalow and villa) and all are well-appointed and comfortable. For this booking, we agreed the plunge pool (spa) is worth splashing out for if you plan to mostly relax in private, as we did toward the end of our 2-week NT holiday. Otherwise, the main pool is also very relaxing, if at times busy. We found there isn't generally a party-type crowd staying here, so it's pretty quiet, and the cocktails at the pool bar are great. Staff are always friendly, and we love Pickles the parrot, of course! We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Darwin.

Everything, it was an Oasis, just beautiful

Nothing much! In the high season the pool can get a little busy although isn't an issue.

I really enjoy Palms City Resort being my second visit. It has a great feel being so close to Darwin CBD, with a short walk to everything in town although feels like you are far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. I highly recommend staying here over bigger hotels in the city.

The wifi was slow.

Location was excellent, surrounded by palms and lush gardens right in the middle of Darwin. The standard room was great for our needs and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was buffet style, fresh and filling. The staff were extremely helpful. We really appreciated the flexibility of being able to store our luggage at the resort on our last day enabling us to spend time in and around Darwin, then return for a swim in the excellent pool, have dinner nearby and then pick up our cases before leaving for the airport late evening for a 1am flight.

More shaded seating around the pool would have been good ... lounge chairs in the shade were popular and guests were forced to sit in the sun when the 4-5 shady seats were full. Small villa meant stowing luggage was challenging.

Great central location on the Esplanade and easy walking distance to shops and cafes in the city centre. Nice pool area. Laundry facilities on-site. The covered deck in the villa was great and gave added living space as the villa/room itself was tiny. Lush garden environment added a tropical holiday vibe.

Disappointed with the breakfast but understand that choices have to be limited.

The garden bungalows were great & the private decks an exceptional plus. The pool with a bar was fantastic to relax in.

Vacuuming every couple of days would have been good.

Didn’t have breakfast or dinner in hotel. Prefer to sample a variety in the city

Let the staff confirm what you agreed on. Was twice an issue. One time with the late check-out. Second time with pre-order of breakfast (pre-order reduces the price). Were uncomfortable discussions with the management and not necessary if the staff had worked properly. unnecessary but not a major issue.

Very nice stay in a very special surrounding. Close to everything in town, we rarely used the car. We would come back.

Bungalow was joined with other people on the other side if you sat outside it has a partitions that you can see and hear the other people if you had noisemakers next door it would ruin your stay

Great location good value for money comfortable bed

Coffee at breakfast was terrible. Might be worth just getting a drip American style system.

Was a great location, and nice to have the buffet breakfast

Breakfast was excellent value for money

Large fee due to move.

Staff was helpful with relocating us to another room. If someone had been at the front desk at 7am. that morning, it could have been avoided.
