My partner and I stayed at the sands just recently, for five nights. When we arrived we were met with a building which appeared a lot more run down than what the website images would have you believe. We walked into the front foyer after buzzing to get into the car park numerous times. We were met with the manager, who... More

For such a good location and cheap simple accomodation, the onsite manager makes you out to be a crimianl from the outset. Pay $100 -$200 more somewhere else and you will not regret it. The manager will try and scam more money out of you for the littlest piece of what we call customer service. Customer service is SEVERELY LACKING... More

We actually went in 2003 but I was not on Trip Advisor then and we really enjoyed our Australia visit so I thought i would add the places we stayed in if I could remember! After a one night stay in a Hostel in Brisbane (Can't remember the hostel name but it wasn't anything special) we were excited to pull... More

I booked my brother into this place, after looking at all the photos on the website we thought WOW what a beautiful place to stay, and so cheap, as I helped him book in, the receptionst was very rude to us by saying "there should only be one person staying in this room at all times" looking at me, I...

Airconditioning available at additional cost in main... More

CONSIDERING YOU CAN STAY AT THE SURFERS ROYAL FOR $25 PER WEEK with a covered pool, spa, games room , which was not available at the time we wanted to stay. Lynne who is suppose to... More

I discovered the Sands in 2008 with a friend. We chose it because it was much cheaper than the other apartments. We came back last year because it is a great deal. Very cheap, spacious rooms, clean, beach view... It is not a palace, furnitures are a bit old but it is really not a problem. More

We got this unit on the internet hoping to find a low budget comfortable place with ocean views views. The number of the unit was 203 Second Level. The ocean views we got which was seen when you went onto the side balcony. That wasn't too bad. Clean enough after I had swept the place and mopped around where the... More

Stayed for 1 week at this hotel, perfect location, cannot complain. Clean but very outdated decor, big balcony with lawn furniture, was able to sunbathe out there early in the day! Old and not fancy but location makes up for it, good value for your buck. Kitchen with dishes but no soap or cleaning supplies. Lots of shops within walking... More
