The Desert Palms Resort is comfortable, accommodating and well-placed in Alice Springs. Seeing as we planned to spend most of our time in Alice outside of our hotel room, we were simply looking for reasonable accommodation. The Desert Palms Resort is that, and so much more…
This is one of those places where every party has their own individual little “chalet” or “cabin”. They’re funky little a-frame looking places that are surprisingly large and comfortable on the inside. They have pitched-pine ceilings and very, shall we say different, color schemes inside. Each chalet has a nice deck as well.
And, one other great feature of this Alice Springs Accommodation is its connection with many of the tour operators in the area. Almost any activity that you’ll be participating in will feature a pickup at the Desert Palms. There is hot air ballooning, quad bike adventures, massage, golf, and cultural trips to different locations.
A trip to Uluru is the main reason people visit the Alice. Though it can be done in a rental car, the roads are long and strait. It’s far better to organize a 2, 3 or 4 day trip with a local operator as you can relax in the air-conditioned comfort from the moment they pick you up from your Accommodation in Alice Springs. They have the best accommodation available near the rock, and the biggest prize… the bus driver doubles as a tour guide – and the local information and historical stories they convey is worth every cent.
Ayres Rock sets a number of factual records, but has an amazing connection with the Aboriginal dreamtime. A great guide who can balance the delivery of this information can make your trip so much more magical.
The same can be said about your Accommodation in Alice Springs management. We found those at the Desert Palms Resort will do just about anything to help you have a wonderful stay. One night, we were very late (14 hours, to be exact) in returning from a 3 day trip. We had the bus driver phone ahead to warn the Desert Palms that we’d be late getting in, well after the desk closed. When we arrived, there was a note instructing us to go to particular chalet. And as I’d mentioned we had a hot air balloon trip scheduled for the next day, they also had taken the liberty of scheduling a wakeup call for us. : )
Comfortable rooms, each with two double beds. In summer it’s hot… you will laze in the air-conditioning, and the nights of winter can drop below zero… Lucky they have reverse cycle!
Clothes dry very fast in the desert, but there is good laundry facilities.
A small convenience/grocery shop attached to the desk, where you can buy all sorts of prepared meals for microwaving, if you get a late munch attack.
The resort has a very nice pool, for the times of year when it’s not too cold.
They also have a 1/2 sized tennis court. Not sure about playing on a 1/2 size court for tennis. But if the wind ever dies down, you could play the world’s biggest ping pong tournament.
And, if you’re into gambling, it’s only about 700 meters down Barrett Road to the Casino!
I would highly recommend a trip to Central Australia, and suggest Desert Palms Resort as your Base.
