Sand Dune surprise
Sand Dunes Resort is located in fairly quiet part of Sunshine Coast away from the hustle and bustle. Great if you love planes as it so close to the airport. The pool is fabulous and close to the beach. We were disrupted by the painting of the property which was very obtrusive however once we complained we were compensated. I was also disappointed by cleaning - the upper floor wasn’t vacuumed and walls and doors need a good clean. Despite the negatives I would return.

We loved that the heated pool and large spa is just a step outside the villas patio. The pool area is open until 9pm, great for kids that love swimming. The villa was clean and modern. The beach is only a 2 minute walk away. A wonderful place for families or groups.

Great family pools & large rooms
We stayed for 3 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment with pool views. The apartment was spacious and generally well-equipped (although it could do with some extra cutlery). The huge lagoon-style pool (unheated) and heated pool were a big highlight of our stay. There were plenty of shallow areas and ledges for our young kids to play on. Some of the ground floor rooms even opened directly onto the pool area. Being pool-facing, and especially being near the spa, we did have moderate pool noise throughout the day, but resort staff seemed good at enforcing the 9pm closure. Beach access was very convenient, and along paved pathways all the way from the resort to the beach track. The red & yellow flags were perhaps a 5 minute walk along the beach in either direction (Mudjimba to the south and Marcoola to the north). It was perhaps a 5-10min walk to nearby shops, with cafes, bakery, etc, as well as a small playground, but this was an enjoyable walk along a nicely shaded flat pathway behind the sand dunes. We weren't overly bothered by flight noise from the nearby airport, and the kids even enjoyed seeing the planes taking off and landing. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Fabulous location by the beach Good to have a 3 bedroom house with private rooftop spa House 6 was clean as far as daily cleaning goes but needed a spring clean Our guest couldn’t sleep one night as there was a rooftop party opposite well into the morning. House had everything we needed for a long weekend. Good to have the double garage for unloading.

Exceptional place to stay. Has everything you can ask for is you are looking for an apartment. Excellent WIFI and very handy for most locations. Centrally located for the activities we wanted to do. The only negative was caused by noisy people, but not the fault of the hotel so do not let that detract away from the enjoyment of what this place has to offer.
