Absolutely loved palm bungalows, really happy with our choice to stay there. Slightly out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the main hotel but with access to all the facilities which was perfect for us as a couple. Easily walkable to all the amenities and facilities. Definitely recommend.

Nice hotel, no working pool or gym right now

Lovely and spacious hotel room and not too far from central locations (5-10 mins drive via taxi). Very easy check in / check out process. Unfortunately during our stay the pool and gym were both undergoing planned renovations. The alternative offered was a taxi to and from a nearby hotel instead to use theirs however I feel this defeats the purpose / convenience of having a hotel with these facilities. We booked well in advance and unfortunately had no correspondence to inform us of this (we probably would have cancelled our stay and booked elsewhere with pool etc if so, and felt a bit that we did not get our moneys worth because of this.

There was some confusion at times, but overall, it was a nice stay. We wish we had stayed longer. A small kitchen is available for cooking breakfast. The shower had good water pressure. The wallabies on the property were a lovely bonus to our stay. We would return and stay at Palm Bungalow.
