What guests think

At Sanctuary Beach Resort, travelers highlight spacious apartments and enjoyable pool and spa, appreciate generally friendly staff and tidy grounds, but note uneven cleanliness and maintenance, varying unit updates, and access challenges due to many stairs and no lift.

The setting is right on the beach near Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, walkable to surf clubs and cafes, close to the airport and public transport, though a few guests noticed early flight noise. Apartments are roomy with ocean views and workable kitchens, but quality ranges from renovated to dated. Service is mostly friendly and helpful, with occasional complaints about attitude and strict checkout enforcement. Expect a relaxed beachfront stay with standout location and variable finishes.

Great property for a relaxing stay and ocean view, great pool and spa too. Only downside was some non announced noisy property maintenance but didnt detract from overall stay.

Wonderful adult retreat and balcony. Friendly staff. Easy to walk to eating. Great beach and pool. Missed a lift to 3rd floor but not a major issue. Taking the stairs is good for a holiday and all the extra ks we put on🙂

Apartment was a great location, very central to beach, surf club, cafes and bars. Apartment was nice, very spacious. But very dated and in much need if an upgrade. If not good on stairs, ask for grouns level or choose somewhere else as lots of stairs and no lifts.. No give on checkout time, yes we were half hour past checkout time, but pressure was ridiculous, knocking on door twice and pressuring people in car park, whilst parking there car, asking for apartment keys. Which was a bit disappointing.Especially as we were for a wedding and one of the couples getting stressed was the Bride and Groom..

A modern 2 bed unit, well set up for the holiday maker. Great kitchen lounge room, with a dining area. Kitchen has lots of appliances, plates and cutlery. The unit I was in was clise to the pool, spa and bbq area. The complex is a very short walk to a great walkway, and the beach. The unit I was in had 2 bathrooms, which included a laundry and bathtub. It also had a walk in robe. Was disappointed in the bed. I didnt find it comfortable, plus the last 2 nights the upstairs neighbour was doing something wierd. From around 11pm until 2pm they where running and jumping...just annoying. Overall, though, a good stay.

This properties appeal is all in the location. Great spot and the beach front property has amazing views. Unfortunately the apartment was very dirty and most of the doors and windows were incredibly corroded and some even unable to open. The pool and spa was beautiful and the common areas around the resort was well looked after

객실이 썩 깨끗하지는 않았어요. 특히 주방에서, 팬(후드)이 너무 지저분하더라고요. 그래서 팬을 켜지 않고 고기를 구워먹었더니, 냄새가 빠지지 않아 힘들었어요. 게다가 계단에도 창문이 없어서, 거기에도 각 방에서 구워먹은 고기 냄새가 진동을 합니다. 오래된 건물이라 그런가 싶네요. 그리고 유지보수 인원도 단 2명?뿐인 것 같았어요. 그래서 제대로 관리가 안 되는 것 같습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 골드코스트 중심지에 비해 조용하고, 바로 앞 비치가 너무 조용하고 가까워서 좋더라고요.

We enjoyed staying away from the hustle and bustle of Surfers and exploring a new area. Access to lovely beach right out front and around the corner from Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary (we attended the free bird feeding a couple of times). Apartment was comfortable and spacious, though a bit dated. Would stay here again!

Lovely renovated unit,spacious & very comfortable. Pool & a few steps to the beach. The Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Zoo is 2 mins walking. Fun place for kids, pat a kangaroo & fantastic wild bird show. Very close to the Gold Coast Airport so very handy and no worry about traffic to get to the airport.
