Really enjoyed our stay at Whitsunday Sands. If I could make two suggestions, one would be upgrade shower head in studios near pool and the other would be mobile dead spot and wifi not working very well. Struggled to get service. Wanna shout out to the staff what a happy and friendly team that work there. Thanks guys for your efforts.

Loved the location and proximity to beautiful beach. TV monitor was too small and far away for comfortable viewing. Not that we watched it much anyway. But hey - you asked. lol.

This place has a fantastic location; it’s so close to the beach and the scenery is amazing. Given the limited development there are not tons of people on the beach and you can walk to the many little bays very easily. The accommodation is a little dated compared to other places, but clean and functional. The staff are friendly and happy to help if needed. As the location is secluded you need a car to get around, but you can get to food and restaurants within 10mins drive.

Great location being able to walk out of our room straight to the beach was amazing. We were unable to get the wifi to work potentially need a booster when the resort is booked out.

This place is amazing. Great location, beautiful beaches within walking distance and fantastic views from our balcony. The apartment came with everything we needed, comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, couch and flat screen TV. And Bowen is a hidden treasure with beautiful parks and foreshore with amazing sunsets. I hope to return again one day. The lady on reception and the room staff we friendly and most helpful.
