Loved our stay, photos on website do not do justice to the rooms. Lovely bathroom, great shower! Comfortable beds and excellent a/c, very needed and greatly appreciated. Nice pool, really nice to cool off after doing trips. Bus shuttle around the resort worked well. Wish we had known about the free activities on offer, would have stayed longer

Captive audience

Not many choices right near Uluru, and it all felt SHOCKINGLY expensive for what it was ($50ish for a bus ride drop off/pick up?), but Uluru is a sight to see, and this hotel was fine. When we were gawking at the prices of everything, I just kept reminding myself that it must be very expensive to get things out to the middle of the outback. No regrets.

The room was clean, well-appointed with gorgeous toiletries and all amenities I could want, particularly the block out curtains. The food options were good at the bbq and the kiosk. Shuttle transport around the resort provided frequent trips to the town square. Excellent stay.

GINO

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
The property and facilities were good and well-maintained. However, the reception staff were extremely unprofessional and displayed rude behavior throughout our stay. At check-in, we were incorrectly charged an additional $440. When we questioned the charge, the staff refused to acknowledge the mistake. During check-out, we raised the issue again, but the receptionist was arrogant and dismissive. I requested to speak with the manager, but they denied our request—even though we clearly saw the manager present at the reception. The entire situation was handled with a lack of transparency and professionalism. We were forced to wait with our family for nearly two hours while they created unnecessary drama instead of resolving the issue efficiently. Fortunately, one new staff member, Tameika, took the time to speak with us and understand our concerns—her assistance was appreciated. Eventually, they admitted their error and agreed to process the refund. However, the refund took more than 10 days and required continuous follow-up via email before it was credited back to our account. I urge the management to closely monitor and train the reception staff to ensure guests are treated with respect and professionalism. This kind of experience can negatively affect an otherwise pleasant stay.
