We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Whitsunday Sands Resort. The staff, the unit, the grounds and the view were all magnificent. We were weary travellers and the facilities in the kitchen and the comfortable bed and couch perked us right up. Great value - Thankyou

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.
