Really appreciated the high standard of this place given its location. It is expensive but if you like a 5-star place you will appreciate it. Superbly comfortable bed, large room and balcony all well appointed. Excellent bathroom with hand and overhead rain shower. Quiet. Complementary airport transfers to all the hotels at Yulara.

I was trying to think of the right word or phrase to describe some (not all, but a significant number) of the staff attitude towards their guests. Indifference was the best that I could come up with. There seemed to be no great desire to solve a problem only to “move you on” to someone else or somewhere else. At check in (14:30), we asked reception to book a tour for me, would be charged to my room, and details put in the room. After our sunset tour, no message so went back to reception. No record of my conversation, no tour booked and no way of contacting the tour company. Told to just turn up and see if there was space (at 5am!) We ate in the restaurant the first night, food was generally plentiful but if anything ran out it was too bad and “there will be some later”. The food was OK but more quantity than quality. Not cheap at $100 per head. We watched people eating from the bar menu and food took 30-60 minutes to arrive and one couple had their meals 30 minutes apart. No explanation or apology. Attracting staff was a challenge and they were very good at looking busy to ignore you. If you tried to get a drink at the bar you were sent away being told it was “table service only”. The public WiFi only works in your room. When I asked reception which one to use I was told “it doesn’t work as too many people are using it”can I say, at 4:30 in the morning it still doesn’t work! Don’t explain it doesn’t work, get it fixed! As I say, indifference. On the plus side the bedroom and general facilities are great. The pool area is lovely, as were the staff there. The room was cleaned and made up really well. Only 3 minutes from the town square where there are cafes and restaurants only too pleased to have your custom. My recommendation, eat out! The

What a wonderful 3 night stay at Sails in the Desert. Customer service was excellent - room wasn't ready but we had arrived at 1 pm and check in is at 3 so no problem - they called us at 2.30 . Bags in the room when we got there - room spacious and a special treat to see the rock from our room - magical . Surrounds are well maintained and clean - staff exceptionally friendly and smiling and welcoming . Pool too cold for us !! But that didn't stop us enjoying the poolside fun . We loved the indigenous training program that offers hospitality training and a pathway for education and employment. Brilliant ! Shuttle bus easy to hop on and off around the town. We ate in the Walpa lounge - good food - excellent service by Brandon . Coffee machine busiest place ! We also ate elsewhere in the town centre as we are not huge buffet people but the dining room was very popular . All the tours were well run and organized- guides very respectful of the culture and traditions of the Anangu people. Jack our guide was terrific. Uluru and Kata Tjuta - places of deep spirituality , history and culture - a must do experience for everyone - the colors of the desert so vivid - will always hold a special place in our hearts .

Omg where do I start firstly they own all the resorts and honestly stay at the cheapest we are at sail there most expensive our room service was terrible we went out at 9.30am got back at 4pm with nothing done The pool is for kids not adults absolutely freezing water Bali and Thailand would love leave them for dead Customer services is 2 out of 5 They price gauge as they can Shame on them

This is the best of the hotels in town and was a welcome haven from the heat. Hotel has a pool and sun deck with ice cream & lunch service from adjacent restaurant. Good shops for art, fashion and books. Shuttle around resort provides access to visitor centre, cafe and galleries. Room had all the facilities we required and there were two restaurants, one a la carte, but we didn’t want a 3 course meal for 160AUS, so we had a great baramundi in their bistro. Still pricey, but it’s the middle of a desert for heavens sake! Breakfast at local centre in Aboriginal training cafe. Just 2 nights was enough unless you are keen walkers. Helpful staff, trips pick up outside.
