There is nothing not to like

Beautifully kept unit in a great location

Stayed in August 2025

The kitchen didn't have an oven and no BBQs so cooking was limited to microwave, stove, toaster and kettle. The washing machine and dryer were handy but could use a refresh as the dryer was slow.

This is a great spot for families with a car visiting the Cairns area. This hotel has a lovely heated pool, walking distance to an amazing playground. To the beach and to some shops for essentials. (The shops aren't that great but can get the basics) The beach is right outside as well, with a big path to enjoy a walk.

Bathroom exhaust fan wasnt working, bed could have been more comfortable. But overall very good!

Spacious, ceiling fans and air con. Tennis court was excellent, pool and beach access were great!

Everything was great, highly recommended!

Very nice, clean unit with all the things we needed. Amazing restaurant and pool right there on the property. Wonderful host, Mandy, welcomed us and was very accommodating for early check in and late check out when we needed it due to our infant son's schedule and a late flight out! We really appreciated all they did for us. Thank you!

All good thank you

Very helpful staff. Apartment was spacious, comfortable with plenty of windows and attractive furniture. Facilities included a lovely swimming pool and restaurant. Walk out the front to the beach or park walkway extending along the beach. A wonderful location.

We really enjoyed our stay at Golden Sands. The apartment was spacious and well quipped. We could easily drive to main attractions. The restaurant is a nice addition, we enjoyed a really great dinner there.

Lighting not great inside room and fans only worked on 1 setting. Beds and pull out sofa not very comfy

Great facilities, right on the beach, good sized room.

Nothing

We loved our accommodation, it had everything we needed. The balcony area was a great size to relax, and the inside was very spacious. The bed was so comfy. The location was quiet and convenient, we watched the sunrise every morning on the beach and then went for a long walk. We swam in June in the heated pool and had a hit of tennis. The hosts were very helpful, and having the restaurant on site very convient. Well worth the stay, loved it.

It was perfectly adequate for our needs.

Great self contained unit with everything you need close to the supermarket and only 25 minutes from Cairns. Quieter area with lovely pool to relax by.

Could have had better cooking facilities.

Super friendly and relaxed staff made our stay extra special. We’ve stayed at a few places in Yorkeys and this has been the best by far.

This is our third visit and as usual all was prefect. A very relaxing stay. We had a great room overlooking the pool.

I would of liked an additional set of shower towel’s however Im not complaining!

Golden sands is located on the beachfront, ideal for morning walks. Extra large bed was a total winner for me, so spacious. Management were kind enough to organise a coffee plunger for the room which I really appreciated, thankyou. We were pool facing, really gorgeous to wake up to with tropical trees and the pool. Resort is very quiet, guests keep to themselves. Yorkeys knob is a quiet village, however situated close to palm cove for eating out. Also positioned between cairns and the daintree which is handy if you are sight seeing.

I didn't know there was a restaurant until my second day there

It was handy to food outlets and shops

Location right on the beach, great for a stroll or swim in the right season. Nice relaxing pool to chill or tan by. Suite spacious and comfortable. Felt like home away from home!

Absolutely exceptional service. We booked 3 apartments to attend our daughter’s wedding. 2 of our bookings were upgraded. Communication was exceptional. The room was wonderfully clean and the fresh tropical flowers were a beautiful touch. The restaurant was also exceptional and extremely helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend

After hours access became stressful and slow response time

Restaurant was lovely and breakfast was excellent. However the chairs are not comfortable for older aduts

Remotes for air conditioner and tv require attention. The air conditioner vents required attention.

Pool and gardens just beautiful. Bird life was amazing . Beach metres away. Cleanliness of our unit and all surrounds excellent. A real tropical paradise.

Stayed in January 2025

Can't really find anything to complain about, it met our needs except it being Christmas we would liked to have had a proper oven, but a microwave is the available option. No dishwasher, but then again certainly not a critical need.

We stayed 9 nights and would have liked to stay longer. Excellent value, quiet location and short walk to the beach, lovely well cared for tropical garden around pool, lift to room level from undercover car park, spacious comfortable apartment with large balcony overlooking the garden, warm reception from Carl & Mandy. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Pre-set aircon, that you cant adjust at a less than ideal temperature ruined a high score for this one! At least you can turn the roof fans right up eventually stop sweating. Its a Cairns summer! Not cool!

good easy beach location, short walk to beach. Tennis courts, friendly staff. Great beds for the price.

Not much

Clean very spacious apartment and the pool was beautiful

Stayed in December 2024

Other than a disappointing shower that had no pressure and a wonky toilet seat everything else was great.

Very quiet secluded location right on the beach. The room had everything we needed and had a wonderful view over the pool. The check in was a breeze and undercover car parking was a plus. The pool was fantastic and you really felt like you were in a tropical oasis.
