The rooms are very comfortable, spacious and well maintained, and we found the staff and service throughout the resort to be very good.However, there is one issue that really needs addressing, particularly given the prices guests are paying and the fact that Sails in the Desert is positioned as the resort’s premi… We have enjoyed our stay at Sails in the Desert and there is certainly a lot to like.

Sails in the desert is the only 5* hotel among the few hotels in the Ayers Rock Resort, managed by Accor. The resort is nicely setup, with about 10 different restaurants, free shuttle bus, IGA supermarket etc.We had all meals at the two restaurants in the hotel Ilkari (buffet breakfast $56 and dinner $106 per head) and Wa?pa lobby bar (à la carte lunch).

Not 5 star

Don't go expecting a 5 star resort as this is 3 star at best. Accomodation looks like prison blocks, rooms are adequate but the worst part of this resort is the food. The breakfast buffet was almost inedible, I know its remote but nothing is fresh and the quality is really poor. Pastries are stale (clearly not made on site) Not what you expect from a 5 star resort. We didn't eat her at night as br… Don't go expecting a 5 star resort as this is 3 star at best.
