“Palms City's bird”

Palms City Resort is a very nice beautiful stay — a good location close to Darwin's waterfront and CBD with the coast a few minutes' walk away, clean rooms with comfortable beds and balconies for enjoying the holiday mood, a good restaurant next door, a lovely bird in the lobby, friendly courteous helpful reception with an exceptional mention for Giada, and parking if you drive; guests recommend it to friends and family and will be back.
