I booked a room at the Golden Sands Beachfront Resort through HotelClub.com in January 2011 for the weekend of the Cairns Challenge triathlon race (5 months ahead of the race). I received an email confirming my reservation and my credit card was debited for the full cost of the stay. I called the resort the day before I was due to book-in just to make sure that everything was ok. I was told on the phone that they did not have any reservation in my name. After HotelClub contacted the Resort, I was told that the Resort would not be honoring my reservation as the reservation had not been recorded due to a "computer glitch". This caused a great deal of inconvenience as we were travelling with an infant and all decent accommodation was gone the day before a triathlon weekend. Make sure you call to confirm ahead of your stay with this resort.

Large, clean apartment which was bright and airy. Owners were really friendly and accommodating. Free wifi. Large balcony with nice, comfortable furniture - makes a pleasant change from plastic ones.

We stayed at the Golden Sands for 7 nights in january 2011. The whole experience was wonderful. The owner (Roy) and staff were very helpful in every way. The accomodation was of a good standard. The pool and gardens, outstanding. The Waterdragon restaurant offers haute cuisine. We highly reccomend staying here.

This motel was perfect for us..Nice and quite.Great rooms.Best pool ever.Service was the best.
