Desert Gardens Hotel offers air-conditioned rooms, some with a private balcony or views of Ayers Rock (Uluru). Guests can unwind in the outdoor pool, or at the restaurant and bar.

nice place and great location. Employees very helpful. Easy walk to restaurants and activities in town and the lookout.
Ideally located for those who want to enjoy all that Uluru, Ayers Rock, has to offer, Outback Hotel offers an on-site restaurant. Free WiFi is available.

Good size room. Comfortable with basic essentials. Good AC
Perfectly positioned to make the most of the Australian outback, Sails in the Desert is just a 5-minute walk from the Uluru (Ayers Rock) lookout and is a great spot to take in the desert sunrise or...

Well equipped, spacious apartment, with a kitchen, washing&drying machines and comfortable bed. Close distance to restaurants and market square of Yulara complex.
Truly spiritual and overwhelming experience. It's a pity most Aussies have not visited this place. Best to drive yourself so you can take your time and make your own schedule. Every viewing point is set up well and signposted for easy access.
You can easily spend 2 days driving around the rock, witnessing sunrise and sunset with their own unique vistas.
Evening dinner with lights event although overpriced was a beautiful experience due to the stars and the astronomer who showed the constellations. Much betwer than the bunch of solar usb powered bulbs on a springy stalk.
Tip- a fly net on your face is dorky but a must!

Loved the aat kings tours and astro tour and hop on hop off bus trips. Loved the spiritual energy of the rock uluru. Loved walking around the rock and photographing it. Loved being outdoors near the rock and olgas the best. Loved the lunches at geckos cafe and souvenir shops too. The magnificent uluru rock and spiritual feeling and being outdoors in close proximity to uluru, the beautiful desert and warm to hot sunny days, no clouds in the sky was the best. Aat kings sunset tours and aat kings mala walk and drive around uluru and astro skies tour were the best, highlights of my holiday.

Most of the essentials are within the vicinity, staff and residents are friendly, however most of the activities that need tickets are expensive. The staff made changes with no fuss just to accommodate our requests (bookings)

We filled out 2.5 days with tours at dawn and in the nights and went to classes in the town square in between. We walked around all the resorts and ate meals at different places to experience many of them. It's very easy to walk around the resorts or catch the free circuit bus. We thought we would have gone on longer walks around Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa if we had a couple more days to stay.

We loved touring around Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
We loved touring around Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
Loved the Field of Lights Tour.
Loved the Helicopter flight over Uluru. The indigenous cultural talks and tours were midday when we were out and about. If they could have those later in the evenings it would have been better.
Dont do the Emu Plains BBQ sunset tour - at $139 per head it was rushed and not worth it at all.
Overall it was beautiful to finally see Uluru and Kata Tjuta
In the evenings there wasn't much to do after sunset and after 3 nights got very boring.

The base walk around the Uluru rock is too long!
The base walk around the Uluru rock is too long! even the weather on that day is good. I'd like the walk to the gorge. I also like the water hole and the surrounding view. I walked to the 2nd look out at Kata Tjuna and I like this walk
Room was simple, but spotless. Swimming pool was a wonderful spot to cool off after long hikes in 30+ temperatures. Location was terrific… right beside the “town square” with access to cafes, a grocery store, souvenir stores and a place to book tours. We had stayed here on our first trip to Australia 12 years ago, and could not make a booking six years ago because of renovations. We were happy to return and not stay in one of the more expensive venues.
it has everything you need. from towels, toiletries, kitchen equipment ( fab for your own cooking)milk, coffee, tea, sugar, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, large tower fan in the bedroom as well as air con ( throughout). beautiful balcony and 5 mins from the resort centre, which has everything and the pool at sails in the desert is wonderful. it’s incredibly spacious and mega clean. love it. the best ❤️
We enjoyed our stay at Sails at the Desert. The rooms were big, the resort handled most logistics which made travel easier, parking was readily available each time and the staff were nice. We didn't use the free airport shuttle provided by the hotel/resort because we rented a car, but that is a very nice benefit for guests. We also appreciated the free ice water in the lobby to refill our water bottles.
Very nice experience. Hotel room was superb with everything you could expect. Great bathroom with shower, Smart TV (even though Wifi wasn't great), comfy beds, cattle with some tea and coffee, mini fridge, A/C, and plenty of storage room. The resort itself offers few good restaurants and some additional activities for your free day. The pool was nice but very cold for us in August.
Great accommodation in a resort where you can use all the facilities. The pool at the 5 star hotel in the same resort was obviously a bit nicer so we just went there, and used their facilities, including bar and the amazing buffet restaurant. A great way to save money but have a 5 star stay!
Staff was very helpful when one of our tours fell apart. Tia made it so we could see Uluru at sunrise before we had to go to the airport. Without her we would have missed seeing the rock!
Everyone was pleasant, helpful, and facility was clean and we had good food.
This was a beautiful accommodation for our last stop in Australia. There are amenities all within walking distance from Sails in the Desert which was great. The staff and hotel were everything we wanted. I would definitely stay here again.
Nice, spacious room. Convenient on- site restaurant/ bar. Lovely pool for swimming/ relaxing. Path to an observation site for watching the sunrise/ sunset. Shuttle stop in front of hotel for going to village/ other hotels.
Staff were excellent and friendly . Buffet breakfast was great. All tours picked up from right outside hotel and everything was close by and within easy reach. Loved that we could see Uluru from our hotel room.
Location is good, convenient to all the attractions on offer plus courtesy buses running for local hotels, attractions and airport. The attractions, tours and expeditions are amazing.
It was great that we could utilise the facilities of the surrounding hotels like the pools and bar.
Also when we dined in the restaurants we could charge back to our apartment.
Recently renovated, the rooms in the hotel part are new and very comfortable and clean. The Outback bar has good food and live music. Efficient and appreciated airport transfers.
I loved the additional day activities held in the resort. The room was fantastic and the restaurant was very good. The staff was super friendly, helpful and professional.
The apartment was roomy, and all furnishings were comfortable. The amenities available from the resort were good, with many free "experiences" to enjoy.
