The room was pleasant, modern and clean. Entirely comfortable.
United States of AmericaWhen we visited the Outback, it was 112 degrees Fahrenheit. Sails in the Desert were very accommodating in such severe weather. Our air was doable for sleeping. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. This establishment is next door to town center. We’d like to return at another season.
JapanGreat location, nice pool. The hotel lacks of character.
United States of AmericaOur room was EXCELLENT. The entire place was really nice & exceeded our expectations.
United States of AmericaRoom was comfortable (though overdue for a refresh); bed was especially comfortable; Hotel layout was good; free laundry most appreciated! Breakfast was excellent. Given the remote location, I'd give the overall experience an A.
United States of AmericaThe area in general is such a cool place to visit - completely worth the 3.5hr flight from Sydney. The hotel appeared to be the nicest if not THE nicest hotel there. Was easy to get around the local area without a car. Tours picked you up at the hotel. Believe the stories about the flies though - we were there in early June and they are usually gone by then but we got to experience the tail end. Despite them being all over you otitside, hotel somehow kept basically all out. Never experienced any issue with them in our room or around the general hotel area.
United States of Americagrounds and common areas and restaurants were very good. Room was large and comfortable, but see below.
United States of AmericaComfortable bed, large room, beautiful balcony with flowers
