All our needs were catered for and rebookings made for our tours when our inco
Pros:

The welcome was second to none and Remi was extremely helpful with our luggage as well as organising an anniversary gift from the General Manager. Many thanks for your thoughtfulness.

The buffet dinner was exceptional and a great hit with all of us especially our 14 year old grandson.

Captive audience, everything ran on time and mostly staff were good.
Pros:

The room was good, the location was good, the staff were good. Nothing was exceptional except the price. Everything was expensive.

Cons:

Some of the service was good, some was okay, and some areas definitely need training.

Nice RESORT hotel but a little overpriced in terms of room rate.
Pros:

Ayres Rock is a typical resort, i.e., the dinning options are open to the other hotels in the resort. This means booking in advance for dinner is a must if you want to get a table in the hotels main dinning restaurant.

Cons:

The remote location meant costs were quite high.
