I had a wonderful stay at the resort! The apartment was spacious and clean, with a stunning view of the beach. The pools and BBQ area added to the great atmosphere. While the service was mostly friendly, there were a couple of instances where the staff came off as a bit abrupt. Overall, a fantastic experience but some noise from nearby areas was a slight issue.

The Sands Resort is perfectly situated across from Pippi Beach, making it ideal for family fun. While our apartment was spacious and offered good facilities, it felt a bit outdated and could use some cleaning and maintenance. The location is fantastic, but the quality of the apartment can vary, leading to mixed experiences.

This resort is an amazing choice for families with kids. The spacious apartments and fantastic amenities like the pools and tennis courts make it a great spot to relax. However, the noise from other guests was quite disruptive during our stay. Overall, it’s a clean and modern complex that offers good value for a family-friendly holiday.

Our stay at the Sands Resort in Yamba was almost perfect. The apartment was beautifully decorated and offered stunning ocean views. The beds were comfortable and it provided all the necessary amenities. Unfortunately, we did notice some wear and tear in the townhouse apartment we stayed in during a previous visit, which slightly impacted our overall experience. If you book directly and request the right apartment, you're in for a treat!

The Sands is a lovely place for a beach getaway, with spacious townhouses and excellent facilities like pools and a great location near Pippi Beach. However, some units could use significant improvements, particularly in cleanliness and maintenance. The price seemed high for the condition of some units, which detracted from the experience.
