Apartment was modern and well furnised with a balcony overlooking the pool, air-con was a saviour at night because being a Brit i wasnt used to those sort... More

Our family of four stayed in a two bedroom unit for a week in November 2011 and absolutely loved it. There was plenty of room to spread out and the balcony overlooked the beautiful pool and garden area. Very clean with all the amenities you could need including a washer/dryer, great kitchen items and large closet space. Amanda went over... More

I stayed in a double bedroom apartment at the sands resort and thought it was a great place to stay. Rooms were fantastic and the people working at the hotel were great, they organized all our activities and recommended restaurants, bars which we enjoyed very much. Loved the swimming pool especially when we couldn't swim in the sea due to... More

We really enjoyed our stay at this resort and it was good value for money. We took advantage of a special offer (stay for 5 nights - pay for 4). Then we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment foc and also allowed a later check out (11am). A continental breakfast was included in the price, in a room under... More

Stayed here for 4 days, wish I had booked for longer. We were upgraded to a 2 bed apartment but asked to use just 1 room. The apartment was very spacious and well equipped with crockery and cutlery etc and a large fridge that would be great for a family. Everywhere was kept very clean (though no cleaning done in...

What a find! This resort is such a change from the concrete jungle, high rise resorts on the Gold Coast. It is a U shaped building protecting the really nice garden and pool area from the strong south easterly winds that often spring up in the afternoons. It is a most attractive 3 story walk up building. But there is... More

We had a great time well looked after by Amanda and Matt in a very pleasant apartment overlooking the tropical gardens and pool at a reasonable rate.A two for one breakfast at the Sheraton Mirage provided by Amanda was one of the many highlights staying at the Sands Resort. Highly recommended. More

Our family stayed once again at the Sands and it was as always delightful. Our self contained apartment had been modernised with a new kitchen and like all apartments overlooked the pool and beautiful gardens. We walked along the 4 mile beach just across the road and enjoyed being a little removed from the more busy Macrossan street. Our teenage... More

These condos were nice and comfortable. They are cleaned once a week during your stay. We enjoyed talking to some of the locals around the pool. They were close to town, 4 Mile Beach, the rainforest hikes and the wharf. More
