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.
View from our patio.

We love horseshoe bay
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.
