Absolutely stunning! Fantastic experience from beginning to end. The staff are amazing and made it look seamless! The resort considers everything in advance and truly goes the extra mile to make it as special as possible. No aspect of the resort has been overlooked. 

Unbelievable! 

In Uluru, we really enjoyed our time and this place was so relaxing and nice!   You should bring a scarf as it can get quite cold :) Sit during sunset and watch the Uluru rock change hues of orange and red! Beautiful!

Relaxing mode

Amazing! What an utter delight. If you want the best location to view and visit Uluru and wonderful attentive knowledgable staff stay here.

The ‘tents’ are stunning, well designed, well equipped. Try sleeping on your deck under the stars, we were sceptical but so glad we did.

Food is top quality fine dining standard.

You will be offered a tailored programme of visits to Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa, really well thought out by the hosts, this really makes your visit the best it can be.

It’s expensive but totally worth it.

Best location, best views, best guiding service - FABULOUS!

This was an outstanding resort experience at every level!
From the moment you arrive, the warmth and service orientation by all the staff of the resort is felt.
The lodge is a beautiful huge tent with great views of Ayres Rock.
Food is exceptional at every meal. Menus tailored to personal tastes and food preferences, are outstanding, and even have your name on the menu!
Wines and spirits are premium selections, and the generous open bar will satisfy any taste that you may have,
The guided walks accompanied by cocktails, wines and canapes are excellent. Guides are knowledgeable and fun to be around!
The luxury tent (#12) had an unobstructed view of Ayres Rock!
Well appointed with all the amenities you need. We loved the unique swag surprise after Table 131, and were disappointed  that it was only prepared on 1 night of our stay. 
Table 131 dinner experience is a highlight, not to be missed!
The field of lights was a little disappointing, but is an interesting artistic concept.
The night sky is exceptional, even though the new moon diluted the stars some.
The "spa" is more treatment rooms than a spa experience, although the therapists were good and the treatment enjoyable.
If you're planning a trip to Ayres Rock, and are looking for a true 5 star experience, look no further.
Here the beauty, culture and service all blend into a "no worries" experience!

5 Stars at the Rock!

The Dune Pavillion at this resort is stunning with beautiful large decorated rooms and killer views. The AC and water are good. You can sleep with sleeping bags they provide under the stars on your back porch. All that's missing inside is a skylight over the bed with a view to the stars. It's the only real accommodation here that is a 2 bedroom setup for a family with kids. The pavillion costs roughly the same as two small tents that don't connect, so it's no contest which setup I'd rather have.
The resort is nicely done with good and sophisticated food (our menus had our names on them) and there are some really good programs they organize for their in-house guests such as sunset visits to Uluru and dinner under the stars. I personally liked the food a bit more at Lizard Island and other guests making the rounds of the resorts at this level agreed. The spa has beautiful treatment rooms and my treatment was an interesting massage by an Italian lady that was very well done. There are e-bikes for you to ride around the resort area but nothing that really works well if you are short. Dinner under the stars was cool and the private tours they organized for us were excellent. I think it's silly to spend all the money to come here and not do activities at your own pace meaning what you want and when you want it, and just pay extra for that. We didn't want to get up at 6am for group tours and have to go to Cultural Centers we didn't want to linger in. 

Another important reason to book private guides is that although the hotel emails you a big brochure prior to arrival to help with planning, it all seems the same from far away and we had a hard time really knowing the differences among the walking activities we were arranging. As a previous reviewer wrote, if you can stand a medium hike, the Valley of the Winds hike is far superior to the group hike on offer at Kata Tjuta which is of a gorge. We wouldn't have known because they don't tell you that. When I asked after hearing from other guests that their hike was lame and that this one was better, i was told that the resort doesn't know the fitness level of its guests prior to arrival and doesn't want people to be disappointed. So the value of the private guide is that you can roll with the punches after you arrive and realize that what you booked in advance may not be what you really want.

We went to Kata Tjuta on the Valley of the Winds hike, and a tour of Uluru during the day. Field of Lights was also great to visit. The Uluru rock gets same-old after half an hour of walking around it. Some of the guides are a bit sanctimonious with the aboriginal stuff and other guides are more chill; it's a luck of the draw. For my son's 16th birthday they organized a private concert and demo with their resident didgeridoo player which worked out really well. If you get tired of long lunches and dinners you can tell the wait staff to speed things up a bit. Our shoes were filthy by the end of the 2 day visit but we cleaned them with towels and the shoe brush they provide in the room. Not a bad thing to do before departure and it would be a great service if they would offer to clean people's shoes before departure (instead several of their staff told me they had no idea how I could clean my shoes).
The resort has a helipad and you can take a chopper from there around the area and then get dropped off at the airport. The hotel made us some snack packs for the onward flight. Food at this airport is surprisingly not bad either.
What this hotel lacks is a gym (even if I am hiking I still want exercise options that makes me feel like I've worked out as I normally do) and a resort at this price could certainly better heat its swimming pool which is pretty small anyway. I was expecting better on both counts and felt exercise deprived after being here for 2 days especially with the big meals. Jogging and biking is tough here if you're used to flat terrain. My only complaint here was that they took people out on a sunset walk and then left the guests alone to take pictures of each other. The staff know the good shots and we had crappy photos because the other guests didn't know the good shots. We complained and then before we left someone took us out to get some better photos. Also, when I complained about the pool temperature, I think someone just figured i was an idiot and ignored me. For a resort housing only about 40 guests at a time, I was hoping for more consideration on that point.
To sum up, this is one of Australia's finest properties and it's worth what you pay for it. But for what you are paying, it could use a few upgrades that 5-star travelers worldwide expect as standard. Because most of their foreign guests only come once, there is no real incentive for them to change so I don't know if these reviews mean anything to them, but at least the reviews are here for you.

Hard to beat a few days in the Dune Pavillion; resort is mostly excellent lacks a few things you expect

Perfect place to spend a few days in Uluru.
Luxury at Longitude 131 is matched only by the beauty of its surroundings.

An amazing experience from start to finish. While some establishments offer superficial luxury as a tagline to attract customers, Longitude 131 delivers a true crafted and elegant stay without that ‘if it’s expensive it has to be good’ attitude.

Truly magnificent in every aspect.

The good:

•	Where to begin… Longitude 131 allows you to visit Uluru (a somewhat harsh environment in terms of heat and terrain) in total luxury.
•	Amazing food and top shelf bar – all inclusive.
•	Impeccable staff. They’ll tend to your every need without being oversolicitous.
•	Hotel is clean and impeccable with modern amenities without being a distraction to its surroundings.
•	Outdoor dinner under the clearest sky you might ever experience, with great food and drink.
•	An amazing way to see the outback. Hotel is part of nature as opposed to squatting on it. 
•	Hotel plans daily activities for you, and reviews them with you upon arrival.
•	Just about everything else.

The bad:

•	None.

Advice:

•	There is more to do in Uluru than just stare at the ‘rock’.
•	Rooms have different views of the rock, so ask the hotel at time of booking.
•	Do a helicopter tour. Not terribly expensive, modern helicopters with amazing things to see from the air (not just Uluru).
•	Wear sunscreen and hydrate! Everything you need is provided by the hotel (head nets for bugs, sunscreen, water…). Flies can be a nuisance when out but they don’t bite and their numbers vary (some days no flies).
•	You are out in the wild, and may see camels and other wild animals.
•	Activities other than those included are available (helicopter, private tour…).
•	Not a cheap experience, but quality comes at a price. This is a truly unique thing to do.

A true once in a lifetime experience

Fabulous is the only word to explain Longitude 131! My husband, daughter and I stayed in January. From the moment you arrive you feel extremely spoilt! The staff are wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about Uluru, the food is exquisite, the accommodation is luxurious! We did several tours which were fascinating. I really cannot rate Longitude high enough! We will be back!

FABULOUS

Just a wonderful extraordinary experience…true bucket list material made even more incredible by the amazing new recruit Jake..what a terrific new asset to this memorable weekend.
Sensational food & sweeping vistas.

Best weekend

This hotel is not a hotel but a resort with an experience level of 6 stars.  

You are greeted with private pickup, drinks, luggage picked up and gone to your room….with private concierge to orient you to the property with a glass of bubbly on the patio overlooking Uluru.   

The room, the food and the facility are outstanding but it is really the service that stood out!   From excursions, to little surprises in your room and evening turn down service with drinks.  

Not inexpensive but worth h the extra money for an exceptional experience in such a magical place!

6 star service with a personal touch

Spectacular in every way. The weather during our stay wasn’t the best (rain and heavy winds) but the staff never faltered.  Always called you by name, knew your preferences, anticipated all of your needs. The spa was full when we tried to book, but we should have booked early.  Tours were excellent, food top notch.  Recommended.
