Great Position

I have stayed at Whitsunday Sands quite a few times. Great position adjoining 2 beaches of which one is sheltered. Bowen is a windy place. Lots of different accommodation options some self contained and some not. Has a good clean barbecue area so you don't have to have self catered rooms. Next door is a good Chinese restaurant and the other side has a good cafe.

Beautiful location & lovely resort in every way!
Megan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This must be in the most scenic and beautiful Australian east coast location. Sunset was truly divine. However, the resort sorely needs and deserves a total refurbishment. The garden is well cared for and rooms clean but perfumed air freshener by the bucket load is used to mask decades of use. But, it must be said that the location with easy access to two exquisite beaches can’t be beaten.
