I had a wonderful week-long stay at Sand Dunes Resort, where the staff really went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. While the apartments could use some updates (especially in the bathrooms), they were clean and spacious. The resort's location was perfect for a quiet, relaxing vacation, with easy access to the beach and nearby parks.

The three-bedroom poolside villa I stayed in was well-maintained and spacious for my family. It had all the necessary amenities, though the kitchen was a bit small for our needs. Having access to the heated pool from my unit was a real plus.

The resort facilities were excellent, including well-kept gardens, a fantastic heated pool, and a gym. There was a lovely rooftop deck which I enjoyed, although it could have benefited from a bit more shade.

My stay at Sand Dunes Resort was mostly enjoyable, with beautiful facilities and a fantastic pool, perfect for relaxation. However, I did experience some noise from the kids' pool that detracted from my overall peace. The apartment I stayed in had great amenities but did experience some cleanliness issues that could use improvement.

My stay at Sand Dunes Resort was fantastic overall! The pool area was really inviting, and I loved being just steps away from the pool from my villa. However, the unit could use a bit of an upgrade, especially in the bathrooms and furnishings. That said, the location was perfect for a beach getaway and close enough to explore other parts of the Sunshine Coast.

I found my villa to be spacious and comfortable, perfect for my family. However, I noticed that some areas, particularly the bathrooms, could definitely use a fresh look. The amenities were generally good, but there were hints of mustiness that could be improved.

I had an amazing stay at Sand Dunes Resort! The location is perfect, just a short stroll to the beach, and the pools are fantastic—especially the heated one. However, I noticed some cleanliness issues in the apartment, like a musty smell and stray hairs that were a bit disappointing. Overall, the amenities and friendly staff made my experience pretty great, and I’m definitely looking forward to my next visit.

I just spent a week at Sand Dunes Resort in a three-bedroom poolside villa, and it was fantastic for my family! The villa was clean and spacious, perfect for two adults and four kids. We thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool and the large spa, along with direct access to the pool area. The location couldn't be better, being so close to the beach and other amenities. However, I did notice some rooms could benefit from an upgrade, especially the bathrooms, but overall, our stay was wonderful.
