We booked at Sandcastles on the Broadwater as it was close to where my daughter lived. Lovely clean units that have aged a little, but suited our purpose as we needed the three bedroom. However it doesn’t have an elevator and if coming up from the garage where your car is parked, it’s four flights of stairs. Doesn’t sound like much, but it is when lugging up your bags. Also no rubbish chute. So the same when you have to removed all of your rubbish throughout your stay. The only other thing is the traffic noise, at times it can be very loud. Other than that, staff are lovely, you can hire beach towels that save you packing one and it’s located in a good area. It’s close to supermarkets, pubs, cafes and Harbour town is about a five minute drive for all your shopping needs.

What you would expect for the money.
This was an older complex , showing some signs of tiredness. Having said that it is in a good location with easy access to parking and to the unit. The unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only thing that needs attention is the beds as the mattresses are probably a little over their use by. We would stay here again as it is good value.

We were so excited to arrive at our accommodation for our little Adventure, we were super happy to check in earlier than expected so made the day so much more pleasant. The complex is so close for the theme parks and harbour town. The beach is opposite which the kids loved for their morning walks, the apartment was roomy and a large kitchen, and two great verandahs. Parking was safe underground and access to all amenities was easy, and you get a good workout with the stairs.

We were in a 3 bedroom spa apartment, In a great position overlooking the water. We had 2 spacious balconies. The pool and barbecue area was great . Probably the only downside was we were on the 3rd floor, 4 flights of stairs from the secure underground car park. The unit was spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Overall we were very happy with our stay.
