Lovely staff who let us check out late which was so helpful as we had a late flight and lots of luggage. Big apartment on the ground floor and well worth the extra money especially if you have children. Some shops and restaurants are walkable. Lovely large pools

Whilst we love our weekend trips to the Sunny Coast, we didn’t realise that it was a walk up stairs property. We had a great time all the same but prefer a lift for more than 2 floors.

Decided on a short winter break with our 2 young boys. Pool was heated and it also had a large spa. Apartment was a good size for the 4 of us and had a decent sized kitchen with washer and dryer. Enjoyable stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sand Dunes Resort. The pool and view from the balcony were both fantastic and staff were friendly. The apartment was spacious and in fair condition but looked a bit unloved in some places with scuff marks and dents on the walls, nicks out of the bath tub and sinks not scrubbed throughly etc. Curiously neither of our bathrooms had a fan which meant the entire room got very misty. But otherwise a great place to stay and especially good for families with kids.

Overall our stay was very enjoyable and the facilities available were excellent and the access available directly from our room to the pools and spa was fantastic and was enjoyed very much by our kids.
The facilities appeared to be excellent and well maintained, will stay again.

Sand Dune surprise
Sand Dunes Resort is located in fairly quiet part of Sunshine Coast away from the hustle and bustle. Great if you love planes as it so close to the airport. The pool is fabulous and close to the beach. We were disrupted by the painting of the property which was very obtrusive however once we complained we were compensated. I was also disappointed by cleaning - the upper floor wasn’t vacuumed and walls and doors need a good clean. Despite the negatives I would return.
