6/10 Good

Given the resort location, you are a captive audience, which pushes up the price. While the pictures make it look fancier than it is, it was comfortable in the 40 degree heat and the air con worked hard. Great restaurant.

8/10 Very good

Our room is a bit further away from the main lobby, although there is a walkway to the room, but some are covered and some are not, so it is not ideal and inconvenient when rained. We had be warned of inserts and bugs in Uluru. However we did not expect we get cockroach, bugs and centipede in our room! Overall the Uluru trip was excellent , especially the Sunset Journey experience , Uluru-Kata Tjuta national park tour and the field of light. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus service to the township and other resorts. We will definitely visit Uluru again but it will be in Winter season.

We came for a short stay to celebrate a significant birthday. For more context, there were four of us, all adults. We really enjoyed our stay at Desert Gardens Hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly. The beds were comfortable. We ate at both restaurants and enjoyed every meal. Having the pool was essential.

Bistro is excellent. The resort is in a monopoly situation, but does deliver a good holiday.

8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly. Our room was nice but very far away from shops and restaurants. We didn’t have hot water one morning but they fixed it fairly quickly. Also, asking for a late checkout will cost you $50! Overall it was pretty expensive but quiet. Uluru was amazing but you also need a park pass for an extra $38! The resort shuttle was great 👍

This place was fantastic. Definitely stay again and happy to recommend to others. Darcey at front reception was amazing to deal with. The pools a great size and the grounds are beautiful. The rooms are a good size and very clean and quiet. Lots of choice for shopping even has a IGA so you can buy stuff you need. Lots to see and do around the grounds as well. It exceeded my expectations of the place . I loved it.
