The hotel was very comfortable and has beautifully appointed rooms, with lovely grounds. The location was wonderful, with most major attractions within easy walking distance. We enjoyed how relaxing and calm the whole hotel felt- definitely was a fantastic place to stay!

Smoking was permitted in some outdoor areas, including balconies. Our neighbours seemed to be constantly outside smoking weed and cigarettes, which meant we were unable to use our balcony for a few days, due to astha-related health issues. People smoking on their villas around the pool area also meant that the pool was often uncomfortable to be in. Seems a shame in this day and age that smoking is permitted at all in hotel grounds.

We loved the whole resort. The rooms were clean and tidy with small balcony to sit on in evenings, Lovely hot shower, perhaps bathroom a little on small side, but adequate unless you wanted to party in it!!! Bed really comfy, tea and coffee facilities, also microwave and fridge. Breakfast available for $20.00 per person per day if booked day before. Nice pool with bar from 2-0 to 6-0pm. Very central for everything in Darwin, foreshore, Waterfront, shops etc. All set in beautiful grounds with palm trees and plants with small bungalows in gardens which are another option for staying here.

Nothing, but would say if we booked again would make sure to get a first-floor room, our room 252 was in an excellent position, as ground floor rooms could be a bit dark with balcony overhang and the many beautiful palms, and there outside seating was beside the path. But overall, an excellent place to stay

Where do I begin. Everything was excellent. Beautiful clean rooms. Bathroom was spotlessly clean too! Buffet breakfast was magnificent. We ate there every morning as it was so easy and had everything you would need. Delicious! Fantastic location, a short 5 minute walk from the street, shopping etc., and also the wharf where we dined every night. Also the location across from the park and water was not only beautiful but very quiet. One last thing. I so enjoyed the company of the two little feathered friends that live on site. Pickles the parrot and Brick the chicken. They made my day 😊😊😊 We didn’t want to leave. I will be back again when I visit Darwin next time.

Only one thing we didn’t like. The pool. It was very deep all over which made it hard for anyone who just wanted to wade or have a quick dip. That is my only complaint about the whole resort.

This accommodation is in a perfect location to the city and the waterfront. The staff were excellent and all required amenities provided. Rooms were very modern and clean. Carparking available that was close and secure to rooms.

- Rooms were tiny. I hadn't noticed the 26sq size that appears to be the same for all accommodation types. We didn't plan to spend much time there but the bungalow was just way too small. - Unfortunately even though in a bungalow my partner and I had to wear earplugs 5 nights due to a person in the attached bungalow snoring so loudly. I didn't hear their voices so not sure the walls were thin, just an epic snorer so just bad luck I guess.

Excellent location, rooms were not very large but ok with a good bed and quiet aircon & ceiling fans. We stayed few nights in a garden bungalow and 2 nights in a standard hotel room. We actually preferred the hotel room as more space and also more quiet (especially if raining at night). Breakfast was ok, good variety if you went early, if you come late a lot of things gone and not topped up

no late check out offered, we were even willing to pay a half room rate but their policy is you have to pay full rate even though you wont be having the included breakfast and no cleaning required. As most flight out of Darwin are very late at night this is disappointing. We were allowed to stay and use pool though which was good

Set amongst tropical gardens which was lovely. Lovely pool area, great reception area with access to tea and coffee throughout the day. Great location in the centre of town. Rooms cleaned daily and toiletries supplied were good quality and replenished daily, which was a nice surprise. Reception staff were fabulous and very helpful.

My sister who traveled from the UK felt areas around the property was quite dark due to the trees/ greenery. I live in Australia and so I liked it. My only negative is i think the pool area could be better organised to accommodate more sun loungers.

What an amazing oasis in the heart of Darwin and yet so quiet… Just stayed 1 night but will definitely be back… Met the fantastic Mr. Pickles at reception.. he’s the pet parrot who hangs out there..😁.. We had booked a room but the Balinese style huts looked wonderful.. Next time… our room was absolutely pristine..spotless… If I had to pick it would be nice to have a toaster in the room but that didn’t take away from how beautiful this hotel is… Breakfast was included with our stay and it was really good.. it wasn’t very hot(buffet style) but there was a great selection available… Really loved staying here…

Nothing…

Recently renovated with all comforts, the rooms are spacious and well equipped (in ours there was even an extra single bed). Appreciated the presence of a fridge with 2 complimentary bottles of water and products for making coffee in the morning. Clean room and bathroom, comfortable beds and perfect air conditioning. We didn't try the pool but it was inviting, also provided two towels for the pool. Staff friendly and helpful, sometimes you even meet a little mascot in reception.

The rooms on the ground floor can be a little noisy with other guests passing by, but after 9 p.m. it is perfectly quiet.

The Palms is beautiful. Its located on the Esplanade directly opposite the water. Its absolutely quiet and not in the noise and mayhem of Mitchell Street. The rooms are surrounded by palm trees and it feels like you're in a tropical paradise. I stayed in a garden bungalow and it was clean, comfortable and had kichenette facilities. Despite being right next to the pool it was never noisy. The air-conditioning and overhead fan were quiet. Definitely book here again. While it might be more expensive than some of the places on Mitchell St etc youre you're missing out on the noise that will keep you up all night! And I'd also prefer this place over the more sterile chain hotels. There's a 24/7 reception and staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel provides a buffet breakfast only. I'd have liked the option to have lunch or dinner occasionally. There is also a poolside bar which is nice but it doesn't stay open long and you can't order food.

A great location We had two garden rooms on two stays either side of a tour and they are a lovely setting Fabulous pool Clean room BBQ for each garden room Laundry for guest use Fridge, basic crockery and cutlery very useful to us Bathroom/ shower very comfortable Daily cleaning of the room

The cleaning fluids are heavily scented and took hours to get the lemon smell out of the room when we first arrived. The price was about $370 a night and they charge an extra $13.50 to use the laundry which seemed a bit mean to me. The first garden room was next to the road and pavement furthest from reception. It was a bit noisy with people shouting as they went past at night. It felt fully priced for its offering
