Safe, restaurant, casino, small gym, games room incl bowling and mini-golf and shop conveniently available within premises, shop open until 2am.
Towels are not the greatest quality, bathroom mat looks scruffy, cupboards need an upgrade look, cupboard sliding door was not free-moving, aircon was not warm enough - swing function not working - was too cold in room to sleep, blankets requested following day and issued, should keep those in the room, or offer at reception during winter.

Good place where to stay. Basic and clean rooms
Quality of restaurant that should be improved. Cocktail are not very good and full of ice\water, let's say ananlcholic

We were pleasantly surprised by having a room overlooking the golf course & directly into the sunset. The added bonus was the thousands of weavers coming in to the trees to roost at sunset. Dinner at the restaurant was great. We also were very happy with the secure parking. We will definitely overnight at the Desert Palace again.
