We stayed at the Palms City resort for the first two nights of our Top End trip. We arrived in the middle of the night but reception was attended and explained us everything about the resort. The resort is a 2 min from The Mall and the Visitor Centre (Toni at the Visitor Centre is brilliant - so helpful!). The... More

I loved Palm City Resort. It had a really laid back lazy resort feel with exceptional customer service and right in the centre of town. Huge bungalow that was tastefully decorated and very clean. Great swimming pool and gardens, and only a few minutes away from shops and restaurants. More

Stayed 1 week in December 2011 and really enjoyed the climate and surroundings. There are plenty of activities and sites to visit in the surrounding area. The Botanic Gardens are fantastic and well worth a visit as is a trip to Kakadu. The hotel faces the esplanade beyond which is the mighty harbour. It is quiet yet close to the... More

Our motel room was basic, but very clean and well maintained. The pool and surrounding gardens are luscious and although we didn't have time for a swim it looked very inviting! More

We used to stay here all the time we are from the NT and it is a convenient hotel. There are so many better options now in Darwin. Really bad customer service on reception which we have encountered on several trips and tolerated but wont be coming back anymore. More

We had booked in as a convenient location for a one night stay before catching the 'Ghan' train down to Alice Springs. The Reception staff were helpful in arranging an early breakfast and the necessary taxi for the onward journey. The Palms Resort is well situated by the Esplanade and Park, making for pleasant evening and early morning walking. Evening... More

I would not call this place a resort. It certainly is not what it says. My husband and I booked a nice 2 night stay there only to check in at 1pm all hot and bothered may I add, to be told the room was not ready and would we want to wait here or go for a walk? So... More

Once again we had a great experience at the Palms City Resort Darwin. The outer circle of 'huts' does experience some traffic noise but for comfort and convenience this place is terrific. More
