10/10 Excellent

The attached restaurant was convenient for breakfast and dinner and the food was tasty. The small shopping centre nearby had medical, pharmacy, barber and groceries and some eateries. The local boat club is very nice inside and great meals. Our internet worked well and the beach was a short walk from the rear of the apartments .This was our first time holidaying outside of Cairns city and we loved it.

Loved our stay at The Golden Sands resort!!!

renee, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very quaint apt. It has the necessary appliances required to stay for short rental. We stayed for 10 days. The room was spacious & lots of seating areas. It is also very close to the beach & walking path. The bathroom door needs an update since it keeps getting stuck when you slide it. The fans & ducts does need some cleaning---noticeable dust has accumulated over time. The restaurant in the hotel has a lovely menu.

graeme, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A fantastic spot. Great hospitality, cleanliness and communication from the staff. Very comfortable room, huge bed, well shaded picturesque pool, right next to a strip of rainforest that separates you from the beach by just 150m. Warm evening walks on the beach with access to two good restaurants, Hidden@Yorkeys and Ten06. I was considering giving a negative review so I could keep this secret all to myself.
Travis, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had such an awesome holiday. The staff were amazing and the lagoon pool was simply stunning 😍

great

The receptionist was very kind and the conversation became fun. The room was spacious and clean. We had a washing machine and a dryer, and we had a very comfortable time. It's close to the sea, there's a tennis court and basketball goal.

Hotel review

Excellent 11 night stay having arrived in Cairns for relocation. Hotel is in a wonderful location right on the beach and within walking distance to small shops, bar and cafe. There is a lovely tropical pool onsite too along with a small restaurant/bar. Our room had everything you would require and was clean and tidy. The hosts communication was brilliant and we couldn’t recommend the hotel enough.
Robert, 10-night trip

8/10 Good

The property had a very relaxed feeling with a lovely lagoon. I enjoyed the tennis and basketball courts. It was nice being outside of the hustle and bustle of Cairns. My only feedback would be upgrade the bed, as a sensitive sleeper it was very bouncy as my partner moved throughout the night. Thanks for a great stay.
Bob, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Everything was good apart from the malfunctioning bed
Harley, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is the perfect place, clean and quiet. Outside the city in a peaceful area, very short walk to the beach. Wonderful pool on site. Having a car is recommended to get around but very close to attractions in the area.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The appartment was exactly what i needed and the bed was to die for.... so comfortable which is a great change for motel/hotel. I really enjoyed my stay thankyou
Kim, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location nestled amongst mature palm trees and a stone’s throw from the beach. 2 clean spacious units were perfect for 2 adults and 3 kids and perfect for self catering. Lovely mildly heated pool and the tennis court kept us all occupied when we weren’t out and about. Carl and Mandy were awesome and super helpful. Would definitely come back and recommend if you’re hitting the Cairns area.
Jonathan, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay.

Great view. Very obliging hosts. Restaurant on site is excellent. Plenty of cooking utensils. We found the bed too soft for our liking.
Ann, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed 9 nights at this nice apartment. The location is apart from central Cairns, so the accessibility to the central is not convenient so much, but we enjoyed very calm and relaxing scenery instead. I recommend the apartment if you prefer to chill out your stay here.
Takako, 9-night trip

8/10 Good

Pleasant Stay

The one bedroom apartment was clean and comfortable. Shower and air conditioning were good. Location is in quiet street with good parking. The apartments are not serviced. This is fine but given the savings on cleaning the complex makes when you stay a week I would have expected supplies of toilet rolls etc to have been replenished. It’s a minor thing but somewhat annoying. Overall a good stay.
Graham, 8-night trip

8/10 Good

Spacious bed. But insufficient wardrobe space.
