The bed (mattress) was amazingly comfortable. The whole place was so clean and quiet. The water was great pressure and hot enough for shower. I loved that there was a microwave, bedside lamps and a really good/working ac/heater. Great location and next to the golf club where they make awesome meals, literally 2 minutes' walk behind desert palms. I would definitely come back. It is a such a beautiful place. The staff at the reception, angelic.

The old bed covers. The pillows were horrible. I needed 3 just to feel like I had something under my head. I had to go buy one at Kmart. For the level this hotel has risen to, they could do better with towels. Bigger and softer towels. Don't have to be white.

Quiet location about 2kms out from main shopping precinct. Beds comfortable, bathroom facilities good. Layout of resort and pool area lovely and extremely clean and tidy. We loved how close it was to the golf club for dinner. Was great the reception opened early and closed late. Very helpful could store luggage for a few days too when we did trip to Uluru.

Fridge wasn't working so needed to keep milk in freezer to keep cold. Hand soap dispenser leaked a little bit. These were minor inconveniences.

The room was spacious and clean. Kitchenette in room however limited facilities but there was a huge outdoor bbq area with tables and chairs at the rear of the resort. Access gate to golf club. Good walk path into town along the Todd. Felt like a real holiday resort. I didn't use the pool as only there for 1 night but looked really nice. Good security too with security fence & gate and 2 locking doors on unit.

Nothing, everything was good.

The staff were welcoming. The villa was lovely for 4 of us, made from solid brick. They expect campers to offload rubbish (and have recycle crates). They are security conscious/have a security man after hours. The pool is lovely. The water in the bathroom is hot. We didn’t use the air conditioning. 5 min drive from CBD/supermarket. Golf driving range out back with reasonable golf club meals. Laundry facilities with large drums at $5 per wash and then dry (or use clothes lines).

Nothing

Great location close, but not too close to town. No noise from the road or other rooms. Great to sit on the verander each morning and afternoon soaking up the pleasant surroundings while having a cuppa, wine or beer. Staff and room attendants always responded to our requests with a smile. Overall two family rooms, side by side, great staff, great location, what more could you ask for, for a better weeks holiday.

We have stayed at the Desert Palms Alice Springs in the past and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is great, very clean and tidy, the staff are friendly and they have great facilities such as the pool, laundry room and BBQ area. The property has an automatic code gate at night and well secured. There is a coded back gate if you wish to go to the golf club for a hit of golf or for a meal. We enjoyed sitting on our private balcony enjoying a quiet beverage whilst enjoying the lovely weather.

The resort is about 15 minutes walk from the town which meant it was fairly quiet. Although it was possible to self-cater, there is a golf course behind the resort with a club house serving reasonably priced food and drink and we also had a lovely breakfast in the Hilton next door to the resort. Both are open to non-members/residents. We enjoyed using the swimming pool on site and the laundry/washing line came in handy after all the travelling we'd been doing! The chalet was spacious with a verandah to enjoy a glass of wine in the warm evenings.

Can't think of anything

I loved the veranda and the space inside the cabin. Airconditioning worked great, the bed was comfortable and the kitchenette had everything I needed. I enjoyed the fact that it’s outside of the city centre because I needed some peace and quiet, which I absolutely got here.

Laundry wasn’t the best. A lot of soap (powder) stayed on the clothes so I had to rinse some of my clothes again (but with the warm weather a very quick dry so it didn’t matter). Might be an easy fix. All in all it did do the job.

We were upgraded into a better room. The room was beautiful and spacious. Loved the kitchen facilities. Great check in. Super easy. Pool looked amazing but unfortunately we didn't have the time to take advantage of it. Would definitely consider staying here again.

The door between the sleeping area and bathroom was off it's hinges when we arrived. The receptionist however was able to come over and quickly rectify this for us. Should have been identified earlier by the cleaning staff when the unit was serviced though. Shame that there was only one chair at the small table to dine at when there were two of us.
