We stayed here recently for a family trip staying in a two bedroom apartment. The accomodation is pictureseque positioned directly opposite the beach. I'll start with the positives. The apartment was spacious equipped with a full kitchen and laundry facilities. The surrounds were serene positioned directly opposite the beach. We even had a wallaby wander in most mornings hanging out below our balcony while we ate breakfast. Despite being a stone's throw away from bars and restaurants, it's quiet. There is a small independent grocery store across the road which was very convenient. The rooms are spacious and the beds were comfortable. The pool is amazing. Only a few negatives. Some surfaces in the rooms were really dusty. The parking instructions were confusing. There's no signage on street or above the basement carparks. There's also no instruction about which space to park in, we had to wing it and hope for the best. A chair in our dining room had a faulty leg. Luckily my elderly mother noticed it before sitting down and notified staff. They didn't remove it or replace it which was concerning. Our water jug had a crack in it which we didn't notice until it flooded our fridge. We didn't check in until late at night, so the staff had plenty of time to check these were in working order before we arrived. Despite these inconveniences, I still highly recommend staying here.

We had multiple 2 bedroom units and 3 bedroom units. The 3 bedroom were newer and the 2 bedroom were very outdated. One of the dryers didn’t work and it wasn’t fixed during the stay. Luckily we could use the dryer of a family member. Staff is rarely in the office. No elevators so if you were on the 3rd floor like us you had to haul all your stuff up the stairs. Kids did love the pool area. It was right by the beach. If you want a less expensive place and don’t mind the units being more outdated than the pictures show this may be a great fit for you.

My family enjoyed our stay at Coral Sands. The location was great and the unit has everything we needed! Only 20 min Uber from downtown Cairns and airport. A number of restaurants within walking distance with great food and views of the beach. There was also a convenience store across the street. Lots of wildlife - wallabys, kookaburras, and bats - so cool!! We also booked the Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail trip through them which was an awesome half day outing through the rainforest. Just a heads up, they do offer beach towels for a $5 rental. It was worth it for us not to pack bulky beach towels but just know there is a charge.

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment. It was excellent. Very clean, with a starter pack of consumables. The unit was on the ground floor, this was outstanding as our groups average age was 70+. Reception was staffed by a lovely, thoughtful lady. The room had everything imaginable for a travelling party. The extent of inclusions available to us made this the best unit we have used.
