Reviews and Ratings
We had a lovely stay at the resort with beautiful views and clean, inviting rooms. However, the renovation issues were quite inconvenient and the encounter with management left a bad taste in our mouths. On the positive side, the gardens were gorgeous and the on-site restaurant had authentic food. I would recommend this place for those who can handle a bit of construction noise.
The resort boasts a fantastic location just a short walk from Horseshoe Bay with stunning views. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, although noise can be an issue if you're assigned a room near the barbecue area. Service was attentive and accommodating, making for an enjoyable stay overall, though it could vary depending on room choice.
Our stay at the Whitsunday Sands Resort was mostly delightful, thanks to its sensational views and clean, spacious rooms. The management, particularly Janet and John, were welcoming and accommodating, which made our experience enjoyable. However, we faced a few challenges during our visit, particularly relating to renovations that affected our last day. Despite the lovely atmosphere, the unexpected dust issues and one incident with management were unfortunate.
I had a mixed experience at the resort. The views from the rooms are absolutely breathtaking, and everything was perfectly clean and well-maintained. However, a renovation on my last day left me covered in dust, and the way my complaint was handled by the staff was disappointing. Overall, I loved the surroundings, but the service incident certainly left a mark on my stay.
I absolutely loved staying at Whitsunday Sands Resort! The location is simply unbeatable, being just a short walk from two beautiful bays. The room was spacious and clean, with a stunning view of the pool and Coral Sea. However, I found the shower temperature to be only lukewarm, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for relaxation and exploration, and I can't wait to return.
