Fun experience!…read more Travelled business class form Cairns to Brisbane, nice comfortable seats with lots of room turning into a bed for the night journey. Food onboard reasonable. Service, only at meal times, drinks snacks etc, had to go to the Club Car. Felt they could offer more of a personalised service especially in Business Class! Long trip, scenery of interest sporadic. Good to do once as an experience but would fly next time!

They want you to "pay for for premium Wi-Fi" which is ridiculous. Nobody gets wifi in their rooms. And when you ask, they want you to jump through hoops to talk to the internet company to extend the wifi. I had a lot of work to do so I ended up walking to a nearby hotel to use their wifi and business center. The kettle in our room was broken, and at one point they took our towels to clean and when we called for new ones, they asked if we could wait til morning because they were short staffed.

Easy bus stop to airport & theme parks right out front. Bought the standard/cheapest room and ended up with an ocean view and balcony although a bit noisy along the main road. Great all you can eat brekky for $15. Nice pool on the river with a happy hour. Very happy with this hotel. Will choose again :)

It's deceiving at first when you drive into the property. The entrance is separated by a lower section of outdoor and indoor parking. Access is relatively easy from the parking garage to the elevator and takes you directly to the lobby level for check-in. Check-in was relatively easy and the front desk staff is friendly as well as helpful towards answering questions I had of the facility. The fitness center is not 24 hours but from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. still works in my schedule. The fitness area is separately divided from the cardio space, free weights, a group exercise room with punching/kicking stands, and a room for sport performance drills. Housekeeping does a fabulous job and the food service is excellent. The only issue is when outside groups show up as they did on a Wednesday evening (local high school prom) and the lobby section/bar area was a madhouse, where you couldn't even get through to other areas of the lobby due to the sheer volume of people and the lack of organization to create space safely. The rooms are very clean, modern, and the beds are comfortable. Overall, I would highly consider staying here if given another opportunity in this area of the Gold Coast region in the Queensland.

Ahhh what a great weekend to book a relaxing night away here, same time as the V8 Supercars …read more.. not! Funnily enough, it wasn't too bad because the resort is a while away from the main part of Surfers were all the hooligans were. The resort is currently renovating the Spa so for you spa-goers it will be re-opening in December this year 2013 and from what I've seen, is going to be pretty damn nice. The rooms are big, we got a golf course view, saw a few weddings happening and the place was packed for a Saturday night. Some sort of school formal was on too, which was exciting to weave my kids through. The lobby is very open and almost looks funny, but there were no line-ups or delays. The only thing I could fault this resort with was the parking. Although we were lucky enough to find ourselves some parks with all the events happening, there is only a small undercover area and outdoor area to park so many times on the weekend hotel guests may not even be able to get a park there. This is a very popular resort, and it's a nice one too, for RACQ members it's only $166 a night for a room with 2 double beds... which is a bit of a steal for a place like this.

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.

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.
