    This was basically one of those pubs where the really bad service was at the door. Yep, that's…read moreright, this is another one of those pubs that has a rather hot headed bouncer, and even though I actually got inside, I was sort of shaking my head as because this is certainly not one of those places that you would need such a bouncer. Well, okay, maybe it does happen to be because it is Coolangatta, but honestly, this pub, yeah, it really isn't that great at all. Anyway, there were certainly much better pubs in the area, and much better, and friendlier, bouncers as well.

    Certainly an inn/hostel, rather than a hotel in a more formal sense, Coolangatta Sands isn't bad,…read morebut is a bit pricey for what you get. Rooms are a bed only, with only a few communal toilet/shower combos for the whole place. The crowd I ran into were mostly pleasant backpackers from around the world. My bed was clean, with a comfortable IKEA mattress, and the room was clean enough, about average by hostel standards, and a bit less good if judging as a Motel. The air conditioning was broken in my room, and the light dim, but everything else was in good condition, and the communal kitchen was kept clean. Downstairs is a lively bar and sports tab that seems like one of the choice spots in town for a Saturday night. In all, Sands was a decent spot to spend a night.

    Coolangatta Sands Hotel - Hostel-style lockers in the private room. For dorms, they seem handy--internal charging ports for safe phone charging.
