Top Aquascene Hotel Reviews

Palms City Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in a garden bungalow as a solo traveller. The room was small however contained everything that I needed. (Not sure how you would go with 2 people??) The kitchenette was big enough for me to do a bit of food preparation.The balcony was great, loved sitting outside for meals. Very quiet as well. The pool was divine! My room was cleaned every day and the staff were very helpful. Location was great. An easy walk to the supermarket and the Mall. I will definitely be going back there."
