Stayed in a 2 bedreem apartment, it was very spacious, plenty or room for my family. Views of beach were lovely. The only sound you can hear at night time is the thrashing of the ocean. Customer service by the managers was excellent, could not fault it at all, extremely helpful and friendly. Great parking, under cover and secure. The... More

We stayed at Emerald Sands for a couple of nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment had everything we needed, was clean & tidy and had nice ocean views. Management were very friendly & helpfull. The location is great - it's about 100 metres to a patrolled section on the beach and a couple of minutes walk to the... More

We stayed for 7 weeks in apartment 2A and were delighted with almost everything! The views from the lounge and bedroom windows are breathtaking. I would ask for an "A" apartment if you like the views to Q1 and the high rises. Ann and John are really helpful and friendly. We got married while we were staying here and they... More

We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment which, although quite compact, had everything you could want in an apartment, full laundry facilities, dishwasher, etc. The Emerald Sands is very well suited to couples or solo travellers who would want a quiet, relaxing position in Surfers Paradise. I counted only 80 (small) paces along a narrow lane to the beach. There... More

Agree with most comments, but being told by management that they charge for toilet paper was a bit much. My wife has just retired as a travel writer for a large airline and she has never experienced this before...simply ridiculous and not good for tourism More

Just returned from our stay at Emerald Sands. Stayed in Unit 6B which is the highest of the 1 bedroom apartments. Ocean views from the Bedroom, Living Room and Balcony were sensational. Our room looked to have been recently upgraded with new kitchen, carpets, etc. Spent many hours sitting on the huge balcony watching the ocean (photo's from room and... More

Just stayed 8 nights in a 1bdr apartment on the fourth floor of Emerald Sands, and I must say it was great. I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiance) here, so it will always be a special place for us. The room was very bright and clean. Emerald Sands has all the conveniences that you will need: Full-kitchen, Laundry, great... More

Cosy little apartment which feels like home! We had the 1-bedroom apt which has everything we need - kitchen, washing machine & dryer, walk-in wardrobe, sofabed, ceiling fans, ocean view balcony, free secure parking, 1-min walk to the beach, great restaurants within 2-5 mins drive, heated jacuzzi, etc.... I was actually tempted to buy one of these apt as one... More

Only a 7 storey building but this just added to the charm if the place. Fantastic beach views from our level 6 unit. Hosts were very friendly & accomodating. A flat and easy 15min walk to Surfers. Unit was clean, roomy & newly refurbished. Loved the BBQ & pool/spa area. The only fault was with the curtains. They were quite... More
