We stayed at the Desert Palms Resort for one night, we travelled from Ayers Rock to Alice Springs and then onto Melbourne the next day. Upon arrival the hotel, which is made up of individual chalets, it looked very inviting, especially after our long journey. However once inside the chalet we were a little disappointed, they were built from breeze... more

I really enjoyed my stay at theDesert Palms, and it made my stay in Alice very enjoyable. The bed was comfortable, the aircon worked, the ensuite was large enough for me, the room was very clean...everything you should expect. I particularly liked the pool, and didn't mind at all the walk into town. Nice place to stay and would come... more

This hotel is on the edge of Alice Springs and is a collection of individual chalet style rooms. It's easy walking distance from the town centre. There is a free pick up service from the airport but you have to pay to go back to the airport on check out. It's the only hotel in Alice Springs whose pool has... more

Lovely resort. Rooms are clean and spacious, everything you need too. Kitchen well equipped and lovely balcony area for sitting in the evenings. Pool area was the best, great for families with children. Only a 20 minute walk to Alice springs centre. staff very helpful and friendly too. would recommend this place to anyone as great value for money. more

We are a French Italian family of 5 persons (a couple with 2 children with 1 grandpa) and found Desert Palms Hotel was a very nice, pleasant & quiet hotel. We confirm It is excellent value for money. We ALL enjoyed the beautiful swimming pool. After a walk back from town (15/20 minutes) in a very hot afternoon, I have... more

The first thing that strikes you in the advertising about the Desert Palms is the pool... magnificent - especially if you have children (we have 3 boys). However, that's where the accuracy starts to wane a little. The rooms/bungalows are not really suitable for self-contained living as they are very small and you are sleeping in the same space as... more

Interesting accommodation. Interior was rather basic and spartan but had all the essentials. Exterior was wonderfully landscaped with palms. Fantastic pool area. Office closed early (6 or 7) which was a bit of an inconvenience. Price was very reasonable (cheapest of the 9 hotels I recently stayed in at various location in AU). Very clean. A bit far from town... more

I found the Desert Palms to be perfect for my stay in Alice. I must admit that I was apprehensive because of the negative comments on trip advisor. I had never been to Alice before and went to visit my daughter who was working there. I felt safe and comfortable here. The place was clean and the cleaners were hard... more

Very clean and comfortable accomodation, although not luxurious. Manager was helpful about local trips, buses etc and had no problems with needing extra towels. Serviced daily. Nice pool area. Good air conditioning, needed as consistently 35 degrees.. I was attending the convention centre and Desert Palms is only 5 mniutes walk from there. It was about a 20min walk into... more

I stayed here while attending a conference at the convention centre (about 500m away), so it was a great location. It was about a 20 min walk into town, which wasn't too bad, although not great in the heat of the day. I didn't feel at all unsafe walking home at night. The rooms were adequate and were clean, -... more
