Great stay at Sand Dunes Resort. The kids loved it and the pool was amazing. Facilities were excellent and the room had everything we needed.
Our air-conditioning broke, but the staff were fantastic — they brought in two portable AC units straight away and heavily discounted our stay. Really impressed with the service. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent for the price. Ground floor was perfect for my elderly parents
Every plate and cup had a chip in it which was a little disappointing and there was the expected Sunshine Coast mould on the back of the curtains but but the pool so so nice a touch warmer for those of us that are used to heated pools would also have been nice but fabulous once in

Overall our stay was very enjoyable and the facilities available were excellent and the access available directly from our room to the pools and spa was fantastic and was enjoyed very much by our kids.
The facilities appeared to be excellent and well maintained, will stay again.
