to get started.

The accommodations were very comfortable. I liked the breakfast brunch very much.

Patricia, United States of America

Mr. Beau Rigbye, the receptionist. Polite, professional, respectfull and enthusiastic. He should be put as a Head of Training Department in every hotel chain all over the world. I travel alot, and I know what's good service. Thank you.

Phillips, United States of America

Beautiful garden; excellent buffet breakfast and many interesting free activities.

Vera, Australia

We were originally placed in a room with (2) full beds, which was not very ideal seeing as it is our honeymoon. However, the front desk switched us into a different room (with a queen bed) and it had a perfect view of Uluru!!! Thank you all so much!!!

Kenneth, United States of America

Uluru is an expensive area to visit but the deal we got through Qantas was excellent. Activities are amazing. So much to see and do. And we were so impressed by your reception staff, especially Beau, what a great, friendly, SUPER helpful team you have there at Desesrt Gardnes.

Grant, Australia

Clean rooms, nice pools, friendly staff. Accessible to everything in walking distance.

Bethany, Australia

We loved the front office staff, very helpful and friendly. They did upgrade us from Garden view to Uluru view which we loved and took full advantage of on porch. Uluru is amazing so forget room issues and book based on your budget all hotels here have bad reviews its more what you can deal with for a couple days in an amazing location. Alice Springs is far and Longitude too expensive. Bite bullet and visit its worth the trip. Nature at its best in rugged outback Uluru sunset dinner and sun rise hike worth the trip. Amazing and a great lesson on Aborigines history and customs while hiking and experiencing Nature and the true outback.

Stephanie, United States of America

Lovely restaurants, pool, shop. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Tanya, United States of America

A double bed each and very comfy Very clean Food was very tasty

Stephen, United Kingdom

I would stay again at the hotel mainly because they deliver on what's expected, the staff are friendly, and all in all it wasn't a bad experience, and given the competition it is a great hotel.

“Never again.”

When you pay $400/night you have high expectations but it was an old facility and 3.5 stars at best. I would have expected breakfast or something for that price. Restaurant prices were over the top and $11.50 for a schooner is just uninviting.
Great location and friendly staff.

Location was great - could see Uluru from outside unit. Comfortable with friendly and on to it staff, room was excellent. We enjoyed the $10 per day discount for not having room serviced - plenty of clean towels so no need. Breakfast we initially thought was expensive but turned out to be the best value option. $28 for all you can eat buffet the best in town. Bar/restaurant had yummy lamb rump but don't eat the crocodile - bit tough. All in all a great place to stay and recommended. Huge grounds, lovely pool, would happily stay there again.

Nothing. Staff in the whole resort were very friendly and seemed happy like they like their jobs.
We loved everything about Desert Gardens but 2 staff members stood out Zareth on front reception. She was always so happy and helpful. Then also Jack in the restaurant he served us one day for breakfast and his happy smiling face and manner really helped the experience.

I love how friendly the staff are and how helpful they are. Also our room was amazing it was more then what we thought it would be. With the view of ULURU we loved every moment of it. The room was very clean, and how big it is, only think we would like more is the carpark space, we found it a bit hard to find parking near the hotel as it got busy at night time and we found ourself parking in the next hotel for a car park spot. Beside that we love everything about the hotel.

Restaurant (Manga) service was slow. Needed to ask for things twice on a number of occasions. At breakfast after we had been seated by a waitress at a window table we were inexplicably asked to move to another table by another waitress who told us someone was already sitting at that table. After we moved nobody occupied that table. Very annoying.
