This was the sort of place we expected while on an outback adventure, honest and no pretensions. It’s not really a resort as such, but it does have a small swimming pool, and it’s right next door to the Alice Springs Golf Club, who are also a friendly crowd. It’s clean but don’t expect room service or all the five... More

The place looked good on arrival but a quick view of the swimming pool didn't bode well. It was dirty in one corner and nobody was in or around it. The accommodation for 3 adults comprised 3 single beds which was a bit cramped with very little storage for clothes/cases. There was tea/coffee making and the shower/toilet was adequate but... More

We stayed for 3 nights, just as a short getaway, and had a great time. The swimming pool was great to relax next to. The rooms were clean, staff were friendly. It was exactly what we were lookin for. More

I stayed with my family recently at this hotel. A word of caution to other families considering this hotel. Management appears to condone prostitution at this motel. It was quite evident with men calling on various rooms at all hours and only staying half to one hour. Not good when some of the rooms are quite visible from the pool. More

Stayed for two nights and loved it. the accommodation is 3 1/2 star and very clean and well maintained. The area is lovely, walking distance to the Casino and views to the Macdonald Ranges. Staff were helpful and polite, i loved sitting on the verandah of the villa and drinking a glass of wine while watching the sun go down... More

Earlier this month (September) I needed to travel to Alice Springs and booked into the Desert Palms Resort. Being driven along Barrett Drive I could see the greenest ever grass contrasted against the surrounding dryness and otherwise barron sourroundings.This was Desert Palms Resort, with the coolest and most relaxing pool, a very humble and helpful Resort Manager, a beaut chalet...

Was very impressed with Desert Palms Resort on our recent family holiday. Extremely affordable property, clean & spacious rooms; equipped kitchen which helped keep costs down; friendly staff; great pool; car parking ....... what more could we have asked for ! More

Booked in for 1 night originally but later in the evening decided to stay on for another night. Rang reception and advised the girl who said it was ok as long as we paid prior to 10am next morning. This my husband did, but a short time later I was virtually accosted by a cleaner & told that I would... More

This "Resort" room had sliding glass doors with square rollers, no fly screens and no other windows so fresh air is not an option. The aircon was a modern split system and worked well. Basic, old, towels were supplied with miniature soap, no hand towels, no face washers, no shampoo. The toilet cistern needed some adjustment (a good thump) to... More
