“Would stay again”

Stayed 5 nights here and would happily stay here again. Very reasonably priced accommodation. Clean, spacious and well furnished villa style with private deck. The kitchenette is very useful when staying somewhere for a few days. Good laundry facilities available. Good resort style pool area but a bit small. Quite a walk into town so not so good if you...

“Uninspirational place at inconvenient location with inpolite service”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

Stayed at Desert Palms for 2 nigths. The location is not convenient, there is really no where to go within a 15-20 min walk. The pool is really a big dissapointment, there are no sunbeds to lounge on. The service is inpolite, they are not willing to help. Internet is terribly slow and you only get 1 code per room,... More

Hello and thank you for your review and feedback I am sorry to read you did not enjoy your stay with us and found the location not convenient. We are actually located in what they call the "Tourism Precinct of Alice Springs" which is one of the nicest areas of town next door to other hotels including Crowne Plaza and... More

“Disappointed this time!”

Reviewed 10 April 2013

We spent four wonderful nights here in 2012 so decided to go back on our current trip. Maybe new owners? When room was made up, they took our older wet towels but gave us no new ones so we had to trundle over to ask for some - and then we only got bath towels, no hand towels or facecloths... More

I cannot assure you we are not new owners and I have owned the property for 20 years. I are following up on your comments in regards to the towels and sink plug this should not have... More

“Calm and friendly”

Reviewed 19 February 2013

We stayed at this hotel at the very beginning of January. We were nicely surprised to have our own villa with a porch - all rooms are like this. The room was clean, quite large and the kitchenette was fitted with what you needed for a longer stay - all cooking material, plates and cutlery. The pool is indeed smaller... More
