Very good

My second stay at sandcastles and loved it. Room was spacious and definitely worth the money. They were also able to accommodate a early check in.
5min drive from Harbour Town
10-15 min drive to Australia Fair Mall
No lift so carrying luggage up and down can be a pain but we think of it at exercise 😂
Will definitely book again 💯

The complex is dated, but we found the price really reasonable for a very spacious apartment with amazing views in a great location. The apartment had everything we needed, was clean (although not spotless) and the pool and jacuzzi were awesome. Recommend for a family holiday at the Gold Coast.
