The staff were great. Swimming pool and BBQ complex was very well kept. The unit was comfortable and reasonably well appointed. The bonus of washing machine and dryer was helpful. Having a lift made our stay easy and enjoyable.
It would have been nice to have security screens on doors and windows on the common balcony. The people staying in the back bedroom felt nervous to leave the window open at night.

Nice layout for a family of 4
Please note that if you are doing water activities, the apt complex does not allow hanging any clothes or towels etc on the balcony AT ALL. We did not know this before and it was very inconvenient as we did 3 reef diving day trips and would have liked to dry our items on the balcony outside.
Also, we were unlucky in that our neighbor was a heavy smoker and the prevailing winds carried all the smoke into our unit. We could not keep the windows and balcony doors open despite the PERFECT weather. We were unit 22.

Very good value for money and good place if you plan to use it mainly as a base as opposed to looking for a resort holiday location. Good location and friendly staff. Nice but basic pool area
Apartment could do with a face lift, also a bit musty.

The pool was amazing to swim in and relax by. I spent most of my time reading by the pool or swimming. The facilities were great; very handy having our own kitchen to cook in & the main street was a nice quick drive. Will definitely be staying again in the future. Staff very friendly & helpful =)

we loved the pool and bbq area we used it everyday
the apartment had everything we needed
The beds could all be upgraded, not very comfortavle
and very squeaky when rolling over.
The kitchen only had 4 forks but we needed 6
4.0
The location was as expected, a bit far from the main drag. A car is essential.
The standard apartment was pretty poor. Desperately needs a makeover. The kitchen was so so. One large frypan and 3 varying size saucepans. We had to buy a strainer. The fridge door was rusty. The cupboards were very old and warped. Wouldn’t really say it was a fully equipped kitchen.

easy booking, the friendly reception, great parking, clean room and environment although some areas look a bit "tired" but that's quite o.k.!

It was comfortable & self contained. The hosts were very friendly & welcoming. Great communication
Slightly older facility which was clean but showed signs of wear & tear.
7.0
Spacious rooms, with a big living area and a full kitchen. A large balcony allows al fresco dining, with a daybed for reading.
Washer and dryer in the bathroom/laundry are essential for sweaty clothes/ wet towels.
A short drive to town and beach. It would not have been pleasant to walk to dinner in the steamy heat. Good underground parking, with a lift.
There is an air conditioner in the living area, but not the bedroom. Several other reviews have commented on this. There is no way of getting airflow into the bedroom, as there is a narrow hallway past the bathroom. We were there during a heatwave, 36 degrees outside and unpleasantly hot in the bedroom even with a ceiling fan. A restless night's sleep.
The pool is unshaded, some local friends who visited noted this and said in FNQ a shade cloth over the pool is essential to stop it overheating. Water temperature was 35 degrees, warm bath rather than refreshing.
9.0
Pool facing balcony, Apartments are located just across the beach. The pool was really amazing as the kids really enjoyed. We all were non swimmers but still had a lot of fun in there.
More laundry liquid should have been supplied.
8.0
The place was clean and had even a washer/dryer in the apartment, great balcony, pool/spa (little sand pit and kiddies pool) and BBQ facilities.
It had everything we needed for our stay and we would stay here again. Good value for money accomodation.
If an air-conditioner could be put in the bedrooms (there was a ceiling fan and an additional fan in the cupboard) it would be great. Where the place is located we had to drive everywhere (they had bikes there that you could hire which will get you around- too hot for us to ride ha ha) but everything is only a 5 min drive away.

Great location! Accommodation was fantastic value for money and communication with management was exceptional from start to finish (especially due to our late arrival). Our unit was spacious for our family of 4 and facilities were clean and very well equipped.
Wishing we could have enjoyed it for longer!
10.0
A beautiful resort and very well equipped accommodation. Less than 2km drive or walk to the nearest patrolled beach. Propert managers were very helpful and booked tours for us. We will definitely come back to stay at Sands Resort any time.

Cleanliness of rooms and not even a broom to sweep up accumulated dust and dirt
