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.

The unit we stayed in was a good size but very dirty. There is a main road in front which meant constant noise all night. The staff at reception were however very helpful and friendly people but they are the only thing I can praise about this apartment.

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 💯

Parking is secure, the staff at check-in are friendly and helpful. The pool is beautiful and it is a great location to explore the Gold Coast. The balconies on the rooms are great to sit and enjoy the beautiful views and breeze. My teenage daughter loved the spa. The only small negative, and this was not a surprise as it is in the listing, is that there are no lifts. The views make up for this. This is our second stay and we wouldnt hesitate to stay again.
