Great location with easy beach access and views. Spacious apartments with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
Walking distance to shops and restaurants.
The Penthouse room was amazing. Perfect for traveling with teenagers as it gave us our own space and the view was amazing. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the spa and pool.
Great unit, would stay again. Little bit difficult with the stairs and having a baby, getting in and out of the complex. Great location just need a good coffee shop to open up close by.
Disliked - no air con in Unit 6
Very noisy , bedroom over garage door & street noise.
Premium price for dated unit.
Very soft mattress , so little sleep.
2 bedroom unit overlooking the beach. Walk distance to restaurants, cafes, wildlife park, beach & shops. Recently painted & renovated the whole complex. Staff very helpful. Great stay.
the apartment we stayed in was clean and all appliances of high quality

This hotel is great value. It is only a few minutes from the airport which is a great especially after a long flight. A full apartment for the price of a reasonably priced regular hotel room. It is on the beach with a pool and near things to do. The kids had great fun feeding birds right on our balcony.

Although the room was clean, it is badly in need of refreshment. The carpet is stained, and some of the dishes and appliances in need of renewal.

Thank you for your review. I will pass your feedback onto the owners of the unit so we can continue to make improvements. We are currently quoting to have Sandcastles refurbished.
We have been looking for such a spot for ages. This is it! Close to Vikings Surf Club with its great views and restaurant. Close to bus stop if one wants to visit Coolangatta or Surfers. A lovely walk to Tugun. Wonderful view of the beach from our balcony and lounge. We will go again.

Great location with good pool & spa. But the rest is pretty average. The beds where b-grade & same as the kitchen facility. Was clean but not much improvement over the last few years. Look at other options!!
Manager was very nice and helpful. Pool area very clean and enjoyable

Nice apartment right by the beach
A very nice apartment-sort-of solution with easy access to the beach. The apartment was well equipped (kitchen utensils, washing machine and a dryer etc.) and the staff friendly and helpful. Just what I was looking for for a longer stay at the coast.

Close to all that we needed.
It was a comfortable stay but the unit needs some refurbishment, broken and chipped tiles in the ensuite shower.

Lovely position. Dishwasher leaked. Shower head not working.
Cleaner was excellent and very helpful
Excessively overpriced for a one night stay in a tired apartment.. No lift so climbing to the top was a difficulty for the maturing set. Nobody there to meet us and we were expected to leave by 9.30am. There was no information about this in the room. The sugar for coffee and tea was solid and the coffee was probably the worst I have tasted ever. Nothing to make us feel welcome.The noise from the planes was frightening. I was looking for a location to book 10 rooms for a 3 day working holiday in April. This would have been an ideal prospect but it is no longer being considered
very very lovely , would recommend to others rooms very comfy lovely location

Run down, mouldy & over priced
Bathrooms mouldy, hair on carpets, stained chair cushions, holes in carpet, walls stained & chipped paint. Paid over $300 per night for a very old, substandard apartment. No aircon, had to have windows open & on a main road, not ideal with small children.
Only gave 2 weeks notice for a 7 day stay, so at first we got an less desirable apartment with no view.
We were upgraded as soon as one became available & it was well worth the effort of moving.
Apartments were clean & spacious, comprising 2 bdr, 2 bthrm, large lounge, sc kitchen, balcony & plenty of storage.
Ug parking was also on site.
Loved the Local Surf Clubs & Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.
Wouldn't recommend.
Pros: very close to the beach and Currumbin wildlife park.
Cons: No aircon or proper heating, noisy fans, grubby, old run down fittings, stained carpet, right under the flight path next to the airport. Beds old and springy.
This is an ideal venue for anyone who wants a relaxing beach experience. Right on Currumbin Beach, it is great for those morning walks and it is close to cafes and coffee shops. Around the corner is the world-renowned Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and you can support their wildlife rescue service by patronising their Friday night markets....well worth it.

Stayed at this hotel for the second time, this time in a two bedroom unit. The unit was spacious and met all our needs however was not as clean as we would have liked. Hotel however is situated right on the beach which was great. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Lovely posotion and facilities
The place was clean and the area and facilities were great.
The apartment was a little run down with taps not turning off properly and doors not closing.
Air conditioning would be a bonus too.
Facilities: Home away from home; Value: Great deal; Service: Outstanding; Cleanliness: Beautiful;
We were made to feel welcomed and would recommend the property to everyone .
