I loved my 6 night stay. Peaceful, clean and just beyond the gate next to the pool, only steps down a sandy path past some trees to the beach. The ocean is warm, clean and safe for swimming (stinger enclosure and patrolled area). Friendly, family oriented neighbourhood. Mostly locals walking dogs and families enjoying the sand and water (not at... more

We stayed at the Golden Sands Beachfront Resort for five nights in beginning of July 2009, and absolutely loved it. Beautiful spot!

Brian and Qui Qui were the perfect hosts, helping us to book a wonderful day at the Barrier Reef (operator Reef Magic) and superb views of the Rain Forest from the Skyrail. The appartment offered everything we needed and... more

Stay at Golden Sands for only 3 days and were glad we didn't have to stay longer. Hosts Brian and Qi Qi are very friendly and helpful. The taxi ride from the airport was $40 AUD. They helped us rent a car (which you need staying here) and recommended Reef Magic for our Great Barrier Reef trip. We had a... more
