The Dessert Gardens is in a great position with plenty of parking available. It was an easy to walk to the Town Square. The pool was centrally located within the resort. Room was spacious with good air conditioning, eeven when the temperature was high 30s . Had a lovely dinner in Mangata Bistro. Wonderful Food, Drink & Service. Also had buffet breakfast there as well, with a great variety of foods to fuel for the day

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.

You have very limited choice when it comes to accommodation in this area and for the price paid I'd expected better. The public spaces and restaurants are clean but our room could have been cleaner. It was comfortable but tired looking with worn carpets, damaged fixtures and fittings and just in need of a refurb. Some external areas were taped off due to structural issues I assume. The air con in the room was adequate. Staff are great and the food was excellent and not badly priced considering all food is brought in from some distance.

Pleasant stay.

Hotel complex has many activities, many of which are free. There is a wide range of paid tours to take also. There are a couple of lookouts for sunrise and sunset worth taking. I did not use the swimming pool, but the area look nice. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. Food at the bistro was good. There are lots of good shops for souvenirs and artwork.

Very buggy. Got to watch the beetle and cricket races when going to the toilet in the middle of the night. We did gave a spider sentinel making sure the ants stayed in line.

The toilet flusher broke every day. Got to know the maintenance guy really well. In the end they gave us a key to another room to use the toilet. Less than ideal. The patio was filthy. Rotting furniture and covered in lots of tree leaves. hasn't been swept at all this season. Unusable.

My only comment is that they need better aircon. Our room was a stifling 30c when maintenance eventually came to check it out after a full day and unfortunately it did not improve much even after that. Not great for a delux room

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.
