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.

Apart from the beautiful location the best asset for the DGH are its fantastic staff. The staff were delightful. I have stayed in many locations all over the world and must say that I have never come across staff as helpful as DGH's- well done! The food at the DGH was also excellent.

Staff was friendly. Our room was nice but very far away from shops and restaurants. We didn’t have hot water one morning but they fixed it fairly quickly. Also, asking for a late checkout will cost you $50! Overall it was pretty expensive but quiet. Uluru was amazing but you also need a park pass for an extra $38! The resort shuttle was great 👍

Pricey but it is part of the Ayers Rock Resort set of hotels in Yulara and the Ayers Rocks Resort is where you have to stay to visit Uluru National Park, therefore, it is worth spending the money to visit.
