Fantastic!
Friendly and helpful service. Was really happy because so many beaches nearby...2 right out our door. Quiet and we'll kept. Much better than Airlie. Bowen has real character. An old movie Theatre and of course the big mango. I highly recommend!

Not a bad cabin good views
It is a little dated but very clean Probably would not use the word executive for the description With the residence /resort flood lights everywhere Probably requires more block out curtains tinting etc Location is very very good To be honest like much accommodation in australia quite a bit over priced for what it is

Great stay, lovely room, beautiful ocean view.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Whitsunday Sands resort. Our Queen Kitchenette room was generously sized, clean and comfortable. We had a lovely ocean view from our patio. It’s an easy walk to Horseshoe Bay and The Cove. Would happily stay again.
