Rydges Palmerston - Darwin
Clean and efficient and really comfortable. The pool is gorgeous. The staff are just lovely. Management is getting it right here. And don't get me started on the food! Your chef is a genius. Highly recommended.

Palms City Resort
The location is fantastic. Watching sunset on Esplanade, and being able to sit in front of your room in lush green local flora, sipping coffee. BAGANA at reception was extremely friendly and helpful. So were other staff. Thank you for a memorable 3 day stay.
