Room was very clean and food at the restaurants was excellent
Restaurant had excellent food, bar was well stocked + made the best mocha coffees I've had in my 5 weeks in AU. Staff was friendly, helpful + efficient, but always with plenty of time to assist in the best experiences. Truly a most enjoyable stay.
The national park was a 10 minute drive away. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great with an excellent choice. There were good free experiences to get to know about the history of Uluru.
The bathroom floor needs to be mopped daily; additionally the room carpet needs to be vacuumed daily as well; for a dessert location, the AC was adequate during the day but seemed to be dialed back at night; finally, the laundry room was a mess needs to tidied up at least once a day; also the property could use a paint refresher on the exterior
The resort is becoming run down and is in need of repairs. Room floors were not cleaned.
Wait staff seemed unmotivated to provide services.
Pool was closed and we saw no one working to clean it up over the three days we were there.
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.
