I had a wonderful stay at Sails in the Desert. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with touches that reflected the local landscape. The staff were warm and attentive. The dining options, however, could be improved. Vegetarian and vegan choices were very limited, and it would have been better to see more variety, especially considering the price of the buffet breakfast and dinner. For the cost, a wider range of options would make the dining experience much more enjoyable. Overall, the resort offered a relaxing and memorable stay, with its proximity to Uluru making it the perfect base for exploring the area.

This place is very expensive for very few amenities. No gym, no heated pools, no balls for kids to play with. The food is ridiculously expensive and the wait at the pool grill even once seated was ridiculous. And we froze to death even though there were running heating lamps all over the patio not being used, staff refused to move us and the heating lamps. Prepare to be underwhelmed and you won’t be disappointed.

There seems to have been a mix up at checkin. We want to make sure we are not charged for the 8th as we checked in on the 9th. Thank you so much for your assistance with this.

Hotel was very clean and nice. Issues with lack of staff due to illness through the property however raised concern. Extremely overpriced to eat within the hotel with breakfast $50 per person. Central to all activities and nice outdoor pool area.

Disappointed with the Buffet dinner. They didn't top up or bring more food when the dish ran out! We were okay, in at 7 30pm but those at 8 or later got meagre pickings or none of some.
