We booked two 2 bedrooms and two 1 bedrooms king, all self contained, for a family weekend away. All rooms were very clean and well maintained. Washing machines and dryers were available close by, as well as cloths line and even pegs! The position is perfect to Horseshoe Bay and The Cafe, both easy walking distance, and that was with 6 kids under 7 years old. A dip in the pool is fun for everyone. I highly recommend Whitsunday Sands Resort to anyone wanting to stay in Bowen. Have booked again for next year!

Loved our weekend away. We stayed In queen ocean view Room with views of the bay. Room was very clean, beds comfortable and had everything you need for a relaxing stay. Gardens are well looked after with lush green grass surrounding all the accommodation. We ate at the restaurants within walking distance both nights and the food was great. We will definitely return.

Well kept and very clean resort with some of the best views in the world. I have been all over Asia and south Pacific, and would rate this location as one of the best I have ever seen. Resort staff are super friendly. Ever though the Resort is very old, it is very well maintained, with a cool 70s feel about it.

A massive thank you for your amazing review. We are so pleased you had a wonderful stay with us and loved the views :-) we too agree with you that the views are the best you could ever experience, it's our hidden piece of paradise right here in Qld Australia. No we are not a 5 star Resort but we are proud that the Resort has kept it's original features from it's era on the outside which makes it so unique including the swimming pool. All the rooms have been modernised. It is extremely well maintained and offers comfort, relaxation and cleanliness. So thank you for the comment (cool 70's feel about it) we love it too :-) Stay safe and well Janet :-)

I had the best of times, spent Christmas in this magnificent place and Jonet & Johns warmth and attentiveness only made it better. Room was spacious, spotless and with a view to die for. I would definitely visit again, perfect spot if you’re looking for a quiet stay with plenty of activities around!
