Perfect location for the Gold Coast marathon - 2km from race precinct it is the perfect weekender to refueled after the race. We stayed for three nights and want to come back! The apartment itself is echoey due to tiled floors but it is roomy and spacious! And perfect location for dining and groceries

Spacious, clean, very well equipped apartment, great swimming facilities, allocated parking space. The downside was very noisy construction site across the road, unpleasant smell in the room, so had to keep windows open all the time and issues with internet. Had to call internet support and finally got going 2G wifi. Apparently there is no 3G or 4G option. Only 2G or 5G.

Great property and position. The apartment we had was nice but It could benefit from a bit of an upgrade (eg. new blinds), and the kitchen was a little small. Unfortunately we were given a two bedroom apartment instead of a 3 bedroom as initially booked an paid for.

Received delivery

Very convenient location, not far to restraurants, tram and shopping. On the Sunday of our departure, I inadvertently forgot my handphone. Having left a message for the management about the issue, they were prompt in checking and contacting us, confirming details and promptly getting the phone into the overnight express mail delivery and been received. Thanks heaps and Gods' blessings too you.

Nice property good amenities, Heated indoor pool, Spa and Gym. Public areas were nice and clean. Deluxe apartment, was a disappointment, Carpet old and dirty did not fit properly gape between tiles and carpet in entry foyer. Lounge grubby and very uncomfortable. Rest of apartment OK but needed an update. Dryer did not work reported twice no action taken by management.

Great room, pity about the reservation & check in

Great room, great beds, nice bathrooms and showers, spacious apartment, excellent views, good pool & gym. Pity about the reservation procedure and check- in which was stressful and a bad start to our holiday. When I contacted Ocean Sands a week before our stay to confirm our prepaid booking made a few months before, was told they didn't have our booking and that they do not recognise hotels.com (whatever that means?!). So had to get hotels.com to sort out, and still no idea what happened there. When we did arrive to check in, nobody at reception in the middle of the afternoon, just a "back in 5 minutes sign". Waited and waited and waited, then had to rush to a cafe down the road so our little boy could use the toilet, had a coffee and came back, still nobody at reception during their reception hours. Eventually got in, bad start and not thrilled with service, but room and apartment itself was great, very spacious, clean & tidy with amazing views.
