We rented a 2 bedroomed apartment for arounf 17 days. The small complex is ideally situated 100 yards from the beach, all the units have easy access to a large pool, partly heated. There is a BBQ area that is immaculately clean and free to use. Covered parking areas for each unit. There are shops nearby like a bakery, a... More

Excellent roomy apartments with everything you need and more. A wonderful place to stay, especially for families with children who love to swim. The pool is a highlight and is just huge, delightfully warm with a hot hot spa. You can swim rain or shine. Perfectly located 5 min from airport and right in the middle of the Sunshine coast....

Have been there for 2 years now with friends and one of the most enjoyable places to stay on the Sunshine Coast Location: Easy to get to. Marcoola is a very small town but has everything you need in terms of food and liquor. Supermarkets are a 5 min drive down the road. Very quiet location with a 2 min... More

Over priced, run down , noisy! And I am sick of hotels or resorts like this charging 45.00 for a cup in the sink !!! Hidden charges like this annoy me to no end! Paying 250 for a overnight room and having to clean it !! Will never stay here again ! More

The management of Sand Dunes Resort welcomes genuine reviews. Regrettably the only fact within this guest review is that the guest did stay 2 nights. We are a 5 year old 4.5 AAA rated self catering resort and are assessed for our rating. Being self catering guests are responsible for removal of rubbish and dishwashers are provided in the rooms,...

We recently spent 4 nights at the Sand Dunes Resort. Our room was a 2 bedroom apartment on the ground floor (Unit 39). We liked the fact that there was a small grassed area outside the unit with a gate with direct access to the large pool. The room was modern and guests are given pool towels and small amount... More

We (a family of 4, 2 adults, 2 children) stayed in one of the 2 bedroom apartments, which was very spacious, clean and well decorated. There are 2 pools (one heated) and a spa, all of which were absolutely superb. The complex is on a main road but is designed so that you really don't notice that at all, and... More

This was the second time we stayed at Sand Dunes Resort. Our first visit was back in January 2008 where we stayed for 10 nights. I have to say that the only thing that this resort has lost since then is the 'MANTRA' name (which in my opinion is not a loss at all). Being a past guest we got... More

The unit we stayed in was quite charming and in a great location for relaxing. It is a well appointed self-service villa with a fabulous rooftop spa. We were lucky enough to go during a meteor shower so we had a great view will sipping sparkling wine through the night. The unit was clean with the exception of a few... More
