“Palms City Resort distinguishes itself with bungalow-style accommodations nestled within Darwin's tropical landscape, an appealing contrast to the city's standard high-rises. While breakfast might be better explored elsewhere, the convenience to Darwin CBD and thoughtful villa designs-some featuring private decks and outdoor Jacuzzis-make it a compelling choice. I think it strikes a harmonious balance for those seeking both city access and a tranquil retreat.”
