“Disapointing..”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

Hey All, there was 3 Adults an 1 child staying here for 5 nights and found that there was no service really. The reception hours where poor in my opinion as they didn't open to 9am, but if you’re up there all your tours start then, or earlier. There was terrible lighting going up the stairs (lights where blown/not working), that’s great when you’re got a toddler, and also 1 in the main bedroom. We turned on the toaster and a cockroach came out of it... cockroaches & ants through main bedroom, down hallway and in bathroom. & the drier didn't work very well.
I liked the bbq area/pool. We went down there on a Sunday night to have a bbq, which was great, except we had to take everything back up to hotel room as there was no gas.
When reception wanted us, they sent a e-mail... HEY, we are on holidays... only by chance we got it...

Hi All,
I have been managing the complex for three weeks when this booking arrived.

Firstly the confirmation letter implied to hand in the voucher as soon as practicable after arrival. This was not done.
Reminder suggested. No response at Room by Pabx phone call was made. As many tourist travel out of mobile range to Green Island or reef/ tablelands an email proved the only successful means at that time.

The BBQ gas cylinder needed the tap turned on at the bottle neck. Otherwise a second BBQ is ready to go is 1 metre away, simply lift the cover and twist the tap on bottle neck.
.
2 Security lighting is very important to me and an electricians quote was already being presented to the Body Corporate. This review will help speed things up for an overhaul.

Cockroach baits laid every three months due 1st December, now brought forward by a few weeks. All units reissued new baits early.
Insect spray in units for guests use.
More supplies in the office but not informed . Pest inspector booked for 1st December brought forward. spraying due this week in outer grounds.
4 booked for two adults and two toddlers,no mention of a third adult- .Charges would apply.
5. Office hours in accordance with the rating.

“Awesome family holiday apartments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

Although it was 6 years ago when we visited Pacific Sands Holiday Apartments, I have to say they were clean, spacious and modern. They were everything a family of 4 could want. So good that after we'd stayed there and then moved off up north to Dayntree, we came back to the same apartments on our way back down the coast. We're planning a trip back to Oz next year (2013) and will be booking in at Pacific Sands Holiday Apartments.again.

“Try it, great .”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 5, 2011

One easy block walk to the beach. One/two easy blocks to Cairns bus and 2 lovely restaurants, one beachfront.. Older units but clean and fresh with a relaxing balcony. Super pool for the kids and bbq. We loved it. Peaceful - you should go.

Room Tip: Ask for a renovated unit.

“Great value. Close to the beach with a lovely pool.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2011 via mobile

These apartments are ideally suited to families who want to stay at a beach location away from the cbd without the frills and pretentious resort style facilities. Holloways Beach is a great location (mainly residential) with all necessary amenities. Pacific Sands compliments that with low key accommodation but all the necessary inclusions.

“Apartment was Clean and Modern”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 9, 2011

I was pleasantly surprised upon entering our holiday unit.
I loved the decor and colour scheme and the way the unit was presented.
Most sea side holiday apartments come with florals and cane,
but our unit came with clean line furniture and modern finishings.
NICE!!!
