Montego Sands Resort

It is a decent place.

This property was perfect for what I needed. It was ideal cos I like to cook and everything was available to me and my needs. It was easy to find, had a parking space and it was central to my needs

Great location and friendly staff

This property was cheaper on another website , balcony was not operational, one bedroom was filled with light due to see through blinds

Quiet location which was close to great restaurants, beach & shopping.

Was quite noisy with the Huge Building being built next door. Was dark and could do with an update.

Clean and tidy and central to everything

I form the view that unless positive feedback is provided the operators will never know how users react to their property. Please read the positives and the negatives accordingly. Montego Sands Resort is an older resort on the Gold Coast which is quickly being overshadowed by larger high rise buidlings. Some construction noise can be heard from the next door bulding in the early mornings. Our unit (16) was a nice size for our short stay to visit friends so we were only there to sleep. It was fully equpped with all of the stuff needed to cook a meal, do the washing and relax on the balcony, if needed. Security parking was guaranteed in the basement car park which required key access both in and out of the parking area. On the pros: well equipped, neat living area, TV, tea and coffee making facilities, washing machine and dryer and great WIFI along with a very comfortable bed with extra blankets.. On the Cons: black mould inhabit the the shower area. It s not hard to eliminate mould, generally white vinegar and water will kill the stuff with a bit of elbow grease thrown in. Alternatively Exit Mould products are readilly available. The carpet in the living area and bedroom was bunched and needed to be re-stretched. It could be a trip hazard. The fridge was old but clean but the 'Stainless Steel' finish was rusted on the bottom of the fridge door which detracted from its overall appearance. The microwave cavity was untidy, indeed parts of the unit needed a good clean. Kitchen windows were a bit grubby. There are no elevators, from the basment to the first floor and it was slow for two 70 yo guests with suitcases and other bags to lug up the stairs. However, the tariff was very competive, it was close to the surf club for meals and drinks. If the maintenance items listed were dealt with I would make a more positive recommendation to stay there again.

Close to the beach though as mentioned in the ad, one CANNOT get a look at the water from the property.
