We came for a short stay to celebrate a significant birthday. For more context, there were four of us, all adults. We really enjoyed our stay at Desert Gardens Hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly. The beds were comfortable. We ate at both restaurants and enjoyed every meal. Having the pool was essential.

The biggest plus for this hotel is proximity to Uluru. But very expensive accommodation for the standard. I was expecting high end facility but that was not the case. No one was very friendly or helpful

The room was advertised to have a view of Uluru. The documentation on the web site showed low level shrubbery with no restriction of the view. The picture must have been taken a long time ago as I could not see Uluru from the room at all because the shrubbery had grown so much as to block out the view. Web site needs to be updated. I shall think twice again booking from this site.

We had a wonderful time at Yulara and visiting both Uluṟu & Kata Tjuṯa. It’s just a shame that the resort area doesn’t have BBQ facilities for guest to use to cook their own meals.

All the tours can be booked out of the hotel and the buses come to pick you up. The guides are very clear about pick ups and drop offs. The resort also provides transport to and from the airport, so no rental car is required. The provide plenty of (free) activities so if you like to be kept busy, you can....or you can just relax.

We had a great stay at Desert Gardens. It was an easy check-in/ checkout and everyone was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The restaurant on site, Mangata had good food and a good selection. It is expensive to travel to Yalara and while the food was a bit pricey it was on par with the rest of what was on offer in the area.

We stayed with our resort for dining because the dining choices were similar from place to place with similar pricing. Most places seemed to close at the same times. The only breakfast choices seemed to be the buffet.
