The room was clean and comfortable. There weren't enough places to eat without walking a long way. If you didn't have a car, there was only a shuttle to take you around the campus. Otherwise, to get to the parks, you had to buy a bus ticket for over $100 that only had a few options to see everything.

This is hotel is top notch in the area of Uluru! The hotel was clean but you could tell some areas like the bar were run down. The service at the bar and dining seemed disorganized at times and would be better equipped with electonic apparatus when ordering. The shuttle back and forth to airport was timely and efficient. Food was phenomenal and drinks were fantastic.

Lovely facility. Rooms are a lot more luxurious than the exteriors would suggest. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool is large, clean and welcoming. There were two dining options at the facility; a cafe/bar for open for lunch from 10:30-5:30, and a pre fixe dinner priced at $99. Lighter fare can be obtained at either of the two other hotels in the area.

Hotel was very clean and nice. Issues with lack of staff due to illness through the property however raised concern. Extremely overpriced to eat within the hotel with breakfast $50 per person. Central to all activities and nice outdoor pool area.

Very disappointing . The room we were in was damp and musty. Damp clearly coming through the walls and had peeling paint caused by the damp - room 159. Check in service was manned by someone who clearly did not want to be there for the day and as such we did not even waste our time going back to sort it out. Television stations dropped out every couple of minutes - very annoying and disappointing when paying $500 for a night. It was so bad we did not even have sex as I was so miserable!!

The property was overall well maintained, quite, and safe. The staff was friendly. Check in was easy and the room was comfortable. There was free laundry but only 2 washers and dryers for the whole complex, so be prepared for people to be impatient if your clothes don't dry on their time. The one bad thing was ants. We had ants around our room from the time we checked in. We reported it and nothing happened. We reported it again. Nothing happened. We bought our own ant spray and sprayed outside. We then found ants inside which got into my computer and I was bit several times. I asked for the manager who simply said sorry and that we should have known about the bug spray that was already in the room. Shouldn't the 1st two people we reported the ants to, have told us...... The manager offered nothing but a sorry that she would discuss it with house keeping.

Food was just “OK”. Main reason for poor review was: first there were ants in our bed. Next morning we asked and they promptly moved us to a new room where there were, wait for it, also ants in the bed and a spider on the wall. I know it’s the desert but seriously invest in some frequent pest control services! Customer facing staff was nice. Not their fault. Area is worth seeing but no more than 2 nights recommended.
