The 3 bedroom townhouses are big enough for a small family, the living area is small, the furniture needs an update and the tv is dodgy at best, the best part is the pool and locality to the beach and the airport is nearby, for more atmosphere try Coolum Beach

This resort complex is fantastic. The pool is wonderful and the beach is close. We had a great time Here and will certainly be going back :) the staff are friendly and the rooms are spacious and clean. Marcoola is a wonderful spot.

Fantastic. The photos online do it no justice. Great rooms, amazing pool area, and absolutely perfect for families. We stayed in a 3 bedroom beach house and had a very relaxing holiday with our 3 young children. It is very near the airport but the noise is not an issue at all, in fact the planes close overhead were a... More

Had an amazing family holiday here for 1 week, we were a family of 4 and stayed in a two bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor. The property was beautifully maintained and the room was extremely clean. The pool was amazing and my kids loved it, you also receive complementary pool towels to use during your stay. Sand Dunes is... More

Spent 2 nights in one of the 3 bedroom townhouses with some girlfriends, as a weekend away treat. Lovely resort opposite the beach in Marcoola. Good location and not too noisy as some areas of the Coast can be. Nice pool in the centre of the resort. Was pleased the townhouses were set away from the pool as it was... More

Our family has stayed at Sand Dunes for the past four years and have enjoyed every visit. It is an extremely relaxing holiday due to the excellent facilities around the resort along with the fantastic accommodation. We stayed in a 3 bedroom beach house which was really well appointed and very clean and tidy. With three children there is plenty... More

We had a great time at Sand Dunes. We loved the pools (easily the best thing about sand dunes), the close access to the beach and the fact the area around sand dunes isn't too built up. We heard quite a bit of noise from the airport and the road, and while the 3 bdrm villas were nice they certainly... More

We found (2 adults and 2 teenagers) Sand Dunes a really lovely, beautiful place to stay at. Didn't hear any planes from within the complex at all despite being extremely close to the airport. Room was exactly as advertised on website. Smart current decor, nice and clean, towels, (even pool towels) flannel (face washer) and bathroom accessories provided (shower wash,... More
