    “Very good”

    Very nice kinda like an oasis in the desert. A couple of fans in the room would be nice but all in all it's very nice

    “Solid accommodation option”

    The Desert Palms was a great option for the 3 adults in 2 rooms. Clean, tidy and functional - we arrived and were efficiently checked in and given some good advice for our first time in Alice Springs. Pool was cool and refreshing, and set us up for a quick 5 minute walk to the golf club for dinner.
