Palms City Resort
Nice place to stay clean etc. But when I booked over a month ago thought they might at least do sandwiches or some hot food. Continental breakfast looked very ‘slap dash’ for the price so found myself heading to supermarkets or cafes. Think should cater more even in wet season.

Mindil Beach Casino Resort
The room was basic and not very clean. Linen was good. View from Balcony over looking drive way was terrible, it was so disappointing. Main bed needs a bedside table bith sides. Ammenities and pool was fantastic.
