We recently stayed here with my in-laws and had a mixed experience. We booked a 2-bedroom apartment, and they had originally booked a 1-bedroom but were given a complimentary upgrade to a 2-bedroom. Their apartment looked recently updated and matched the photos online, while ours felt quite dated in comparison. The carpets and blankets didn’t feel particularly clean, which was a bit disappointing. On the positive side, the apartment was very spacious, which made it manageable and comfortable staying with two young children. The location was also excellent—close to the theme parks and Harbour Town, which was super convenient. Parking, however, was an issue for us. Our hire van was too tall to fit in the underground parking, and finding a spot on the street was extremely difficult. Overall, the stay had its ups and downs. The location and space were great, but the difference in room quality and parking challenges took away from the overall experience.

The staff member at check in was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, amd we were lucky enough to have a room with water views and a balcony to have dinner and watch the summer storms roll in. Even though it is situated near the highway, we could not hear any traffic noise inside, nor noise from any other apartment. The room was clean and spacious. It is close to shops and not far from the centre of Surfers Paradise. The amenities such as the pool and gym are great as is the allocated parking spot. The only thing that would make it better would be a lift so that people who are unable to walk up stairs could stay. We enjoyed our visit, and would be happy to stay again.

Sandcastles Apartments are great for a family holiday. The pool is amazing, the grounds are well kept, the ladies on reception are fantastic and the location is good if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle of Surfers but close enough to everything. I would stay here again but I would request a different apartment. We had a ground floor apartment right on the main road and it was very noisy, especially cars taking off from the traffic lights late at night right outside our bedroom. The apartment was also in need of some refurbishments and repairs. We did get this apartment at a great price for the week so that may have been taken into account and I would say that the value outweighed the negatives. All in all, great stay on the Gold Coast! Thank You!

We booked at Sandcastles on the Broadwater as it was close to where my daughter lived. Lovely clean units that have aged a little, but suited our purpose as we needed the three bedroom. However it doesn’t have an elevator and if coming up from the garage where your car is parked, it’s four flights of stairs. Doesn’t sound like much, but it is when lugging up your bags. Also no rubbish chute. So the same when you have to removed all of your rubbish throughout your stay. The only other thing is the traffic noise, at times it can be very loud. Other than that, staff are lovely, you can hire beach towels that save you packing one and it’s located in a good area. It’s close to supermarkets, pubs, cafes and Harbour town is about a five minute drive for all your shopping needs.
