What guests loved the most

“The level of staff training and service was excellent at Sails and generally throughout the resort. Staff were helpful, friendly and professional. Food at Ilkari and Walpa was excellent. Bed was very comfy! Ease of walking around the resort and convenient car parking was great. Sails is a comfortable, friendly place to stay for your Uluru/Kata Tjuta experience.”

, Australia

“Breakfast buffet was fabulous. Complimentary laundry facilities were appreciated. Camel ride and Sound of Silence dinner was excellent”

, Jamaica

“Felt like an oasis in the middle of the outback. I probably should have rated things higher - the difficulties in building and maintaining a place like this so far from everything is considerable and this place did seem to be the best in town.”

, USA

“Most disappointed bad start our bedroom door left open by cleaner for over 15 mins he strolled back said nothing all our valuables cud have been taken! Had meal first night sick and in bed for 12 hrs, got up for sunrise tour and back to bed! Not one bit happy won't ever get opportunity to get back but never recommend it to anyone! Rip off nd over rated, you've no choice when going to Uluru only 4 hotels”

, Ireland

“I liked the relaxed and friendly disposition of all the staff. Everyone was smiley and looked happy and had time to chat. I liked the effort that had been made to make the hotel unique (e.g. all the indigenous artwork in the rooms and main areas). I don't usually like staying in hotels but this one had soul! Also there was room outside to find quieter spots away from the pool area to relax. Also liked the lemon flavoured cold water by the pool that you could help yourself to regularly. Breakfast range was fantastic. We will be back.”

, Australia

“Nice pool, helpful staff, good location and brilliant local and airport shuttle service. Good room service”

, United Kingdom

“Sails in the Desert perfectly reflected the gentle but awe-inspiring beauty of Uluru & Kata Djuta. In the hotel, we felt the spirit of the Ananag people. The staff we spoke to were from all over the world; and all had that same gentleness. The food was unforgettable infused with local bush flavours and highly creative.”

, Australia

“Pool was a very good size and poolside facilities/ surroundings & equipment good quality as well. Choice of restaurants to eat in”
