The staff were Very friendly and the apartment was lovely. The kids loved the pool.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Port Douglas. The apartment was well located & had everything we needed. It was a little tired in places but it was clean & as we spent most of our time out it didn’t really matter. We didn’t meet any staff but they communicated well by email.

Super comfy large rooms , clean and tidy and well maintained , friendly helpful staff , close to everything , nice gardens , pool and spa was clean and well maintained , was a very relaxing christmas stay , fully equipped kitchen made it easy for xmas lumch and dinner preparation , only downside was i had to leave lol

The swimming pool, the breakfast area and the friendliness of the staff.

Friendly staff, clean spacious accommodation, great pool and good location.

Good location and the accomodation was fine, clean and comfortable. Great pool and bbq, so you don’t have to eat out every night. Breakfast is very simple. Toast and cereal, instant coffee, tea and juice. Recommend this for families who want to spend most of their time exploring Port Douglas and just want to get back, have a swim, sleep and repeat. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The pool is a great size and overall great location!

The Sands Resort Port Douglas exceeded expectations in every way. Superbly run by friendly accommodating management, the Sands has immaculate gardens and pool, and we stayed in a very clean & well-appointed apartment with all comforts necessary for a 9 day stay for a family with 3 kids. Only a few minutes walk from 4 Mile Beach, makes for a great location too. Thanks for a great stay, see you again! Cheers!

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is very basic. The unit was comfortable however the bathroom was sad and in need of renovation. The toilet was noisy with the water continuing to run after flushing and at one stage we had no hot water. This was quickly dealt with by the manager and we were offered another unit if it continued to be a problem. The rest of the unit was renovated and pleasant.

The rooms were so clean and there was plenty of room for our family of 3. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the couch and unwinding. We loved Mossman Gorge.

The property was clean, friendly staff and the pool was amazing. Great that breakfast was included. Would recommend this Resort 😊

Location is great close to beach and shops and restaurants

The pool was amazing .unit was lovely and recommendation sands resort

Great value accommodation in Port Douglas, which is an idyllic tropical paradise, with secure underground parking and a good sized swimming pool/BBQ area. The apartment was spacious with amenities; fully equipped kitchen and laundry.and 3 double bedrooms. The only downside was no air conditioning throughout, although each room has a ceiling fans.

This is the second time we have stayed here. The venue is perfect for our family, with a sand pit, and pool with depths ranging from paddling to swimming depth. It is quiet at night, and the bbq facility is always clean. The breakfast provided is simple but means you don’t have to clean until the breakfast dishes on holiday.

My husband and I booked 3 nights here, very last minute, after a failed AirBnB booking. And I’m so pleased we did. We were greeted like old friends by the lovely lady at reception who came and checked us in late at night. We were pleased to be shown to a spacious, clean pool facing apartment. It’s actually bigger than our Sydney apartment! The modern white goods and beautiful leather reclining sofa was a lovely surprise and the bed was extremely comfortable. The grounds are well maintained, immaculate and the pool is large and also pleasantly quiet. (It was so lovely and warm in the sun). You’re so close to Port Douglas town centre and just an hour drive to Cairns. We had a hire car and the basement secure parking was a wonderful bonus! The breakfast was basic (toast and cereal) but again, pleasant, quiet and all you need! It’s a basic place but I can’t knock it. The service, the atmosphere and the cleanliness made it a winner for us! Great value. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

pool was being repaired but a refund was offered

Excellent hotel for the price, clean comfortable rooms, great pool, friendly service, good breakfast and great location. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent reception, excellent advice on Port Douglas in the room good kitchen comfortable lounge area grand internal view from the porch outside the room . whilst the samds is a little far from town and the beach it was good for us

The resort was very clean, facilities good, car park available for our rental car.

Our family of 2 adults & 2 children stayed in a 2 bedroom fully self contained "standard" apartment, the apartment overall was neat & tidy with pleasant decor & large balcony for outdoor dining. Kitchen was well equipped with full size electric stove & oven, dishwasher, microwave, and full size fridge/freezer. There was a dining area next to the kitchen, and a well appointed lounge area with digital tv & Foxtel. Nicely appointed bathroom/toilet doubled as private laundry with full size top loading washing machine and wall dryer. Both bedrooms had built-in robes & bedside drawers so plenty of space for storing clothes & putting suitcases out of the way. The beds, a queen & two singles, were firm & comfortable, & plenty of extra pillows provided. The grounds were well appointed, the tropical gardens & lawn areas are well established & looked after. The apartments are built around the centrally located pool & bbq area. The deep pool with spa & separate shallow toddlers area, was quite large, very clean & regularly maintained. The pool & bbq area was a great place to meet other guests & talk about the day's planned events and gather info about where to go & what to see. Next to the pool/bbq area was the complimentary continental breakfast area, this area was neatly laid out & prepared for guests every morning, it also had a wall of tourist info available. The resort had plenty of underground car parking, with more than enough car spaces to accommodate residents & guests.

1bathroom ,small included toilet laundry shower vanity unsuitable for 4 adults Seating in lounge very hard and uncomfortable. Kitchen ok Lift area needs good clean

Pleasant enough for a week's holiday. Room a bit too noisy as close to the busy Port road. Nice kitchen, but as we ate out it didn't get used, but good for a family.

Clean, friendly and well priced accommodation about 20 minute walk from Port Douglas central.

Friendly staff only too happy to help and advise on restaurants and general things to do, walking distance to cbd, the rooms fully equiped to self cater if you wish. Laundry facilities in the apartment and the pool and bbq area just divine. We will definately stay at Port Douglas Sands again and use expedia, a smooth travelling experience, not one hiccup...

We were very happy with the room and staff were very friendly had a fantastic 10 day hoilday.
