The Desert Garden Hotel itself was clean and well kept, the staff was great. I was not prepared for the Uluru experience in general. One day in the area is adequate - taking in the two National Parks (we went to Uluru, which was beautiful). In hind sight we would have rented a car early on - there were none available when we were there, this left us with the hop on hop off bus, which was handy, but spendy for what you get. It was that or take tours out to the park which were very expensive. Uluru is the closest park, and is 12 km away, so you need some form of transportation to do what there is to do out there - explore the parks. The flies were abundant and annoying - many tourists wearing the net fly hats. Overall, I’m glad to have seen Uluru and taken some time to learn some of the background - the cultural center is great at the park - but as far as vacationing in the area (1) 1-2 days plenty in my opinion, (2) I felt constrained in regards to method of transportation- all expensive (3) flies are unpleasant

The property was conveniently located and rooms are nice. There is no hairdryer in the room but if you call reception one will be brought to your room. Laundry facilities could use more machines and better dryers. A reservation system for using the machines would be welcome. Toilet bowl in bath was very stained. As two women in their 70's, we would have appreciated a room on first floor appreciated as carrying bags upstairs would have been difficult had it not been for a staff member who saw us and offered to carry our bags up the stairs. Service in hotel restaurant was slow. Food was average. Barramundi was overcooked. Squid and coconut prawns were good.

Functionally adequate, A bit tired, needs a revamp. Reminded me of a '60's motel with reasonable public areas. Captive market hence premium prices for food etc. It's a place to sleep after doing the rocks camels and walks which is what you're here for really. Ice cold swimming pool was surprisingly pleasant. Good selection of aboriginal art, tools etc. Overall _ "functionally adequate"

The staff at restaurant Mangala offered us that they can charge the amount to my room account and we agreed to do so. Also, I advised him once again upon exiting the restaurant just in case to change it to my room. However, he (or other male staff) called my family’s room to come immediately back to the restaurant to pay. I was taking a shower at that moment so it took some time for myself to call them back (I do apologize for the delay and for my non-English speaking family couldn’t explain properly). He called us again and again and when finally I answer the phone, his words were: “Are you coming? We cannot close the cashier!!” It’s not the words a professional hotelier uses to guests no matter what happened. Also it’s not guests’ business that they cannot close the cashier and, in the first place, isn’t it the male colleague’s fault that he forgot to change the amont to room?? In the last evening, the entire family was disappointed and promised we would never recommend this property to friends. To note, the receptionist suggested me upon checkout to send a copy of my bill by email but I have not received it yet in the past 10 hours.

Given the isolated location and harsh environment, the Ayers Rock Resort provides a remarkable service and somewhat of an oasis. However, if the Resort was on the coast near major cities, it might only merit a 3 star rating based on an initial impression of the buildings and design which looks a bit dated in places. We stayed in a unit with two double beds and it was clean and everything was functional. Nice that staff come in daily to give a quick service and replace towels etc. The air con worked well. Downsides were lack of storage for unpacking clothes, and little equipment for eating in room. We used the pool each day and it was very clean. The grounds and garden areas surrounding the hotel are worth a walk round, with many mature trees and range of shrubs and plants. Dined in Mangata - first night disjointed service, second night flawless and also a great breakfast. Staff in Resort mainly very nice and the courtesy bus system from and to the airport is well managed.
