This was a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed the location, the air con, the clean rooms and comfortable beds, the tours, the courtesy bus that was provided around the place and the short walking distance towards the town centre. The lunch we had was also very nice and the pool was clean and nice and cold.

It was a great place to stay except that we had no offer of help to move all our bags even though we saw others given help, were only given two hand towels and l found some rubbish under one of the chairs in the room! When leaving the staff were quite rude and dismissive! The staff that cleaned the rooms were really lovely and quickly sorted us all out.

Great location for Uluru…. Hop on/off bus service made travel very easy and was free….. Room was good, although not fully equipped when we arrived….very quickly resolved. No pool towels due to laundry delays….not the end of the world but just a bit frustrating. All in all a good hotel in a fabulous location!

You are in a national park so you don’t expect too much. I found that they did the minimum in servicing the rooms. Food was fair. They are ver organized and the timing of everything is good. It’s comfortable and that’s what you can expect

We loved our 6 day stay at Sails in the desert. Staff were excellent and the resort was very clean and friendly. Loved the Segway Uluru evening experience and the Field of lights. We also did the morning sunrise tour to Kata Tjuta. We enjoyed an evening at the restaurant at the Desert Sands resort. Tha pool at Sails was beautiful and clean. Room facilities were very good, comfortable King bed, average shower and good air-conditioning. Would definately recommend to tick of on bucket list. 👍😎

Food is grossly over priced and under optioned even by hotel standards. Even with a $49 Australian charge for the breakfast buffet, they charged $6 for a latte. Dinner was $99 each. There were no alternatives to the buffets. The rooms were very good and one needed piece of maintenance was done immediately.

Great location which all the tour buses leave from. Lovely lovely staff. Decent menu. The room was very very expensive, but I appreciate that’s about scarcity and remoteness. I hope a big chunk of the funds go to staff and local community.
