Hotel da evitare
Pros:

Ovviamente la vicinanza alla montagna sacra

Cons:

L’incredibile sporcizia delle stanze. Purtroppo mi è caduto un oggetto sotto ad un letto ed ho dovuto guardare sotto per cercarlo. E li c’era davvero di tutto, uno sporco disgustoso. Inoltre me ne sono andato con diversi morsi di acari presenti nei letti. Inaccettabile, soprattutto dopo quello che ho speso.

Clean, comfortable, but unfortunately overpriced
Pros:

Great location; friendly staff; very clean and comfortable rooms

Cons:

It was very expensive; paid $880 for two night’s accommodation but breakfast was an additional $48 per person (dining room was empty both days we stayed there). Disappointing. It just seemed like an additional expense that was not necessary. Actually had breakfast at local cafe which was so much better value.

It was a wonderful stay. Good servicing and clean room beside window seals and ceiling. Overall, it was good enough🤗
Pros:

Good servicing and room was properly organised.

Cons:

The ceiling wasn’t so clean as there were some dead flies clinged. Window seals weren’t so clean too.

Uluru & Kata Tjuta - Magia Pura
Pros:

Il bagno era molto pulito e spazioso. Il resort era fornito di tutto

Cons:

La stanza complessivamente era molto pulita, anche se non si portavano via le tazze usate per la colazione la mattina seguente. Il prezzo complessivamente é molto alto ma essendo una zona desertica ci può anche stare. Colazione a buffet un po' cara ma discretamente fornita bene

We enjoyed our stay and all the amenities that the resort has in the surrounding areas.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable and met all our needs. It was in the heart of the resort and with the bar located within a few minutes' walk of the room it made it easy to unwind and catch up for a drink with friends after a day of sightseeing.

Pros:

I liked the variety of food options on site and the free laundry facilities.

Cons:

I received a card saying that my room hadn’t been cleaned as requested, but I didn’t request that. I then had to go to reception over a few days continuing to ask for the hand soap in the bathroom to be topped up as it wasn’t done. I think it’s probably better to stay at a different property but use the shuttle or walkways to visit here for food and entertainment.

The hotel had good amenities, delicious food, and nice rooms, it felt overpriced for 3-star quality
Pros:

The hotel had everything we needed, including a nice room and a pool, but I found it a bit pricey. I felt like I paid for a 5-star hotel but received 3-star quality. There wasn't anything specific that I disliked; the value for money just wasn't what I expected. Plus, we had to pay extra for breakfast. There was live music every night which we could hear in our room until 10 PM. We have a small child, but thankfully, he wasn't too disturbed by it. The pool was ridiculously cold; I was secretly hoping for a heated pool since it's winter. Otherwise, the quality was good. Breakfast was delicious, and we absolutely loved the dinner BBQ at the hotel.

Cons:

The pool was ridiculously cold.

We loved it in the Outback
Pros:

The facilities were great.

Cons:

They advertise cook your own bbq but you can only use the facilities if you buy the meat from them. It would be nice to have a bbq area where you can cook your own food.
