We had a lovely 1 bed apartment on the third floor overlooking the gardens. Apartments have everything including washing and drying facilities. Brian was very helpful and recommended lots to see and do. I could not fault Golden Sands but one thing to note is that the location is at least a 10 - 15 mins drive to Cairns. there... more

Stay at Golden Sands for only 3 days and were glad we didn't have to stay longer. Hosts Brian and Qi Qi are very friendly and helpful. The taxi ride from the airport was $40 AUD. They helped us rent a car (which you need staying here) and recommended Reef Magic for our Great Barrier Reef trip. We had a... more

After reading the reviews, I was a bit disappointed. In general, we have found trip advisor to be extremely accurate, except for this time. The hosts (Brain & Qi Qi) are indeed very helpful, nice and know the attraction around very well. They gave us very good information and every time we followed their advice, we were pleased. The hotel... more

We spent 5 days in late May at Golden Sands based on Trip Advisor reviews. Our large, clean 1-bedroom third floor apartment had full sliding glass doors opening from the living room and bedroom onto a large balcony overlooking the pool/gardens. Brian was very helpful in securing a rental car which is a must for this location (note to Americans:... more

Very nice 1-bed apartment. Huge amount of space with all facilities needed for an extended stay. We could have lived there for months. Only comment was the kitchen was rather sparsely equipped with crockery, utensils, etc. But it might have been just been that one apartment. Brian and Qi Qi were great. Very helpful and always around when we needed... more

We had a great stay! Brian was very knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions or any type of arrangements or directions you might need. The location was excellent. Our apartment had a view of the pool and restaurant. The resort is a very short walk to the 'natural' beach. I don't think any of the apartments are 'ocean view' because the... more

Perfect quiet location, very spacious units. Very clean units and well managed resort, added benefit of having a restaurant and tennis courts on site. All car rentals and local tours were arranged for us by management. Recommend Golden Sands to all travellers. more
