Golden Sands Beachfront Resort

It is a correct place, in a very quiet neighborhood. The published photos nearly correspond to the place. The good: there is no noise, it is spacious, it has a very well-equipped kitchen, the bed is good, the bathroom is spacious. What we didn't like: we were 3 adults, the person who slept on the sofa bed had very average nights. It was very uncomfortable; the person would slide because it was not horizontal and did not have enough support. The room was never cleaned, even having a carpet, not a wood floor as showed int the photos. They left us a vacuum, but we expected a minimum of cleaning for a week. It was our responsibility, even, to take out the trash. We had a washing machine, but it was dirty, the clothes came out stained. There is a terrace, full of dust, leaves and dirt. There are no functional elevators. Although we were on the lower floor, I can't imagine the discomfort for those who have rooms on higher floors, carrying luggage up the stairs. The pool does not look clean. It's pretty, but it looks like settled water, which doesn't inspire confidence about cleanliness. It is in the middle of plants, which drop leaves and look yellow. The beach is not as close as it seems in the description or as suggested by the hotel name. The bathroom does not have comfortable spaces for use by 3 people. The amenities are the most basic and of very standard quality. We did not expect this quality of accommodation, considering the location and the price paid. There is no safe box and reception availability is limited.

In a residential area, can walk to three cafes and the beach. Large room with washer and dryer

This is the perfect place, clean and quiet. Outside the city in a peaceful area, very short walk to the beach. Wonderful pool on site. Having a car is recommended to get around but very close to attractions in the area.

Very tidy and well maintained property. Great management . Great value .Can’t fault the place . You will do well to chose this place .

We had four nights in a one bedroom apartment with our 11 month old baby. The apartment was super clean, looked out into the tropical canopy, and had everything we needed (kitchen, laundry etc). The pool was EXCELLENT, with a large shallow area perfect for toddlers. The bed had a memory foam mattress which wasn’t the best for us (but beds are so subjective it’s hard to please everyone!). Also the bedroom is open to the rest of the unit so we had to be quiet during baby nap time, but the balcony was perfect as an escape space. Much nicer residential area than busy Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. Great location and friendly managers, will definitely stay again!

We stayed 9 nights at this nice apartment. The location is apart from central Cairns, so the accessibility to the central is not convenient so much, but we enjoyed very calm and relaxing scenery instead. I recommend the apartment if you prefer to chill out your stay here.

Great view. Very obliging hosts. Restaurant on site is excellent. Plenty of cooking utensils. We found the bed too soft for our liking.

Lovely stay with my son - quiet residential area, lovely pool, sports with tennis and basketball equipment provided! Great playground just out the back gate. Walking distance to small supermarket and takeaways for dinner. Restaurant on site had nice coffee, food seemed a bit expensive. A car is a must for exploring the local area.

If you want a location to re charge this is the place. The location on the beach at Yorkies Knob, a brilliant Cafe on the grounds, a heated pool set in tropical gardens all add to the appeal. Our accommodation was really comfortable with a great kitchen and very comfortable bed. Carl and Mandy go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. We can't wait to come back next year.
