Upon arrival the hotel looked tidy and friendly and considering it wasn’t cheap I was expecting to have a nice comfortable stay but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The lobby was warm and cosy and this really tricks guests into thinking the whole hotel would be in similar condition. I checked in and was given just one room card for 2 people and it took 3 attempts and trips back to the check in desk to get it to work and after complaining even more we was finally given a second card that subsequently never worked. The lift was filthy and freezing cold and the fire door was wedged open on the 2nd floor which is both dangerous and illegal and my partner who happens to be a fire inspector asked the hotel to close it and was told it was not her responsibility. Our room had a lovely view over the water but unfortunately that was the only lovely thing about it. The decor was incredibly dated and the room was freezing cold, smelled of damp and absolutely filthy. The hotel was full so even after several complaints we couldn’t be moved but unfortunately the hotel had zero interest in fixing any of the problems. The sofa was filthy, the curtains had moth holes, the bathroom was damaged and filthy with a leaking bath and a very strong damp smell. The room was freezing cold and dark. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone and I’ll never return to it again. Absolutely disgusting service and the quality of the rooms is beyond a joke
Thanks for the 1 night stay on Monday. Checkin was easy and quick, after reading previous reviews I called to confirm the reservation before I left home. The rooms are all up a few flights of stairs so if you have mobility issues this hotel isn’t for you. The room itself was great. I did bring a few cleanliness issues and maintenance issues to the attention of staff via email today. The floor waste in the bathroom stunk, I covered it with a towel and thankfully the stench went away. The bed linen also had a big orange stain - maybe sauce - but I hadn’t seen it until I was going to bed after hours, so I couldn’t contact the staff to rectify. So I remade the bed in a way that I could avoid the mess. The room itself was bigger than I was expecting and the bathroom too!! The rain water shower head was luxurious. I noticed some glassware, mugs, spoons, kettle, iron, ironing board. But I was disappointed there weren’t any plates or a box of tissues. All in all though I would stay again!!
Very Good

This is a great quirky stay. If it weren’t for the things I list below it would be 5 stars but can’t look past this place is overpriced because of its unique experience. Before going into the serious misgivings of this property, one must read this to understand they market the family rooms as having a “full” kitchen . THEY DO NOT HAVE A FULL KITCHEN…. There is no oven 1. It is one of the hottest parts of summer here and we couldn’t use the pool. The ladder was broken with very unsafe sharp plastic that could cause some serious harm. I advised the manager who at first didn’t want to even entertain my friendly smiling visit by not looking up from His computer and at first denying it was broken until I mentioned The hazard to people with the sharp plastic causing injury, only then did I get a raise of an eye and say he would get into it. Well left today and not address and pool Open to one and all to severely cut themselves 2. Spa is just a concrete box with water and some bubbles. There are no seats in spa and to enjoy it as a spa you would need to stand up in it 3. Newly renovated family rooms . Our shower door could barely open . Then the water ran all over the bathroom floor and not draining well as the drain had not been properly placed 4. Don’t shower at the same time as someone in an ajoining room as you loose ALL hot water 5. Quite a few cockroaches both big and German . I’m saying that cockroaches in many places but how about a proper Spray or provide insect killer 6. Bedroom ceiling fans would be very useful instead of having to keep Air con on to keep rooms cool during the night. Overall the experience was great. I completely understand people not liking those jobs but perhaps Peter as manager should seek another more appropriate job to his liking . Every interaction be it Email, phone and in person was met with disinterest and hostility . We would return but at a much better price point to reflect the above things mentioned . Note it is stair access only. There is a lift but only operated by staff and staff not always around The accommodation area is able to be accessed by all sorts visiting other areas of the complex so keep doors Locked and kept Safe The general access areas need a good clean Access to the beach is a short walk Accross the road The stair access to our room was incredibly unsafe at night with no lighting and loads of dusty handrails . This could again certainly lead to serious injury

We decided to stay here as we had to drop one of our vehicles for a service nearby and we live 96km away, the opposite side of Sydney, which would have involved being stuck in peak hour traffic for a lot of the trip, so instead of it being approx 1hr 45 minutes, it would likely have been about 3 hours! Having decided to travel up and stay nearby it seemed sensible to take a second vehicle so that we had some way of getting around while the other was in being serviced (and we had no idea how long that might take!) On arrival, I asked about parking onsite for the second vehicle and was told in a not particularly pleasant manner that only one vehicle was allowed onsite and we would have to park the other in a street outside the park! Once we were onsite, we found that there was a large carpark just inside the park which was only half full overnight and many vacant tent and caravan spots, as well as the parking outside the studio we had had NO other cars beside ours! There would have been absolutely no reason not to allow us to have our second vehicle within the holiday park, other than blind insistence on following a rule. I can understand that over holiday periods and summer, there would be no room for additional vehicles, however, on a Monday night in winter, this should not have been an issue. If you are travelling with more that one vehicle, I would suggest looking for alternative accommodation, although there does not appear to be much in the way of hotels/motels/caravan parks, etc in this locality.
Overall a very nice place to stay. We were there for a family wedding that took place nearby and stayed there as it was convenient. The rooms are very nice, air conditioned , clean and comfortable. House keeping is efficient and our room was sorted every day. We stayed for nearly 3 weeks and our only reservation is the food. It is best described as pub grub standards, in as much as it is basic and not terribly varied. But there are a plethora of nearby restaurants that easily compensated for the simpler food at the Sands. My mark of a good place to stay is firstly would I go back, the answer is Yes and did I find it value for money, again the answer is yes. Well done to all the team, but the kitchen just needs a bit of improvement.
The place is simple, but incredibly comfortable with everything you need for a good nights sleep whilst in transit. It has great facilities (pool, spa, sauna, playground, tennis courts etc and restaurant / room service with a large menu). The staff are the biggest highlight, and we’d like to give a big shout out to Sam who was an absolute delight from the moment we checked in. Warm, competent, natural and knows how to go the extra mile without it seeming contrived. She was particularly brilliant with our children, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Very grateful to have inadvertently found this place for our overnight! Would happily come back again.
