An oasis in the outback, the Desert Palms is a 3.5 star property offering individual studio villa accommodation, set around a crystal clear free-form pool with island, waterfall and surrounded by tropical gardens. All villas are air-conditioned and include bougainvillea-covered verandahs, private en suites and kitchenette facilities. The hotel offers outstanding value for the visitor wanting comfort at an affordable price. We're located in the main accommodation centre of Alice Springs on the banks of the Todd River, close to town, Lasseters Casino - Alice Springs entertainment hot spot, the Convention Centre and the Alice Springs Golf Club is our backyard. Although we do not have a restaurant on the premises for those who would like to dine out, some of Alice Springs best restaurants are within metres of the Desert Palms. These include the Golf Course Club House, Haunmans (Indian/Thai) and Balloons Bistro at the Crowne Plaza and four restaurants at Lasseters Casino including the Juicy Rump. There is a small kiosk/shop on-site where food items and liquor can be purchased, a guest laundry, BBQ area and secure gated off street parking directly outside each villa. The Desert Palms offers a calm, peaceful environment, which creates a sense of relief for the often-weary traveller. After a hectic day of travelling by road or air take pleasure in watching the world go by on the privacy of guests own balcony surrounded by palms trees while partaking in a light refreshment.

The male receptionist was not

The male receptionist was not as friendly as in other hotels we stayed in, he appeared somewhat preoccupied and brief in our registration process. Most hotels/Motels provide a little milk for the coffee upon arrival or in the room not so here. The room servicing was very basic. Even with this experience we would choose to stay there again if we visit Alice Springs.

Nice external layout/grounds.

Nice external layout/grounds. Apart from useful in-room kitchen facilities, very ordinary motel-quality room:- no table and chairs, no windows to open (except the sliding glass door, which locked with difficulty); cheap "bus-station" toilet paper (separate shiny sheets) rather than a roll (which should be a major no-no in any place with pretensions to even a little quality). I probably had one of the cheaper rooms, but for what I got it should have been cheaper still.

Really good feel staying at this

Really good feel staying at this hotel. Only problem was that it was too far out of the centre of the town for my purposes. However taxi to & fro was not expensive, but I had to make use of them too often.

Not enough lighting in the room

Not enough lighting in the room - just one single fluorescent tube for the whole room made it difficult to read in bed. It has a great swimming pool, very friendly staff and good service.
