Stayed 3 nights in May. First two nights in a villa and the third night in a standard room. The villa was equipped with a fridge, microwave, toaster, a few dishes and utensils. Each villa veranda has an electric BBQ. Nothing fancy but I was happy with everything. The standard room only had a fridge and an electric pot to... More

Walking distance to CBD. I stayed 8 nights in a Superior Motel room. The kitchenette was great. The staff always smiling and happy to help, nothing was to much trouble. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The airconditioner worked a treat, wouldn't have survived without it. The pool was also great to relax and cool off. I would... More

Palms City Resort is centrally located in Darwin close to everything- bus terminus, information office, shops etc. If you enjoy early morning exercise it is situated opposite a linear park that follows the coast. Our room was very clean and had the added bonus of a well supplied kitchenette. This allowed us to save money with meals. The pool was... More

It is good basic accommodation in central Darwin which is in walking distance of everything. Fine if you are looking for somewhere in easy reach of the city and port area. Not really what I would call a resort but pool is good to cool off.

We have just returned from our trip to Darwin and stay (3 nights) at the palm resort, not Palm Springs as the previous writer wrote. Although the accommodation was not spacious it was clean, helpful, convenient and location on the Esplanade certainly makes for a good stay within a realistic budget. The only gripe I have is that the tea... More

We stayed in a duplex villa. The room was a bit small but typically Darwin in design - with louvred ceiling to floor windows overlooking tropical garden. The units are actually very close together, but the vegetation is so lush you almost feel you're on your own. The verandah has chairs and table, and a barbecue which is cleaned for... More

City Palms Resort was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and so accommodating. The cabins weren't large but they were very clean and serviced daily. The pool was beautiful. Walking distance to everything.

We stayed for a week at the end of March in a duplex villa and couldn't have been happier. The location is excellent and the resort is clean and well maintained.
