Golden sands is located on the beachfront, ideal for morning walks. Extra large bed was a total winner for me, so spacious. Management were kind enough to organise a coffee plunger for the room which I really appreciated, thankyou. We were pool facing, really gorgeous to wake up to with tropical trees and the pool. Resort is very quiet, guests keep to themselves. Yorkeys knob is a quiet village, however situated close to palm cove for eating out. Also positioned between cairns and the daintree which is handy if you are sight seeing.

I would of liked an additional set of shower towel’s however Im not complaining!

We stayed 9 nights and would have liked to stay longer. Excellent value, quiet location and short walk to the beach, lovely well cared for tropical garden around pool, lift to room level from undercover car park, spacious comfortable apartment with large balcony overlooking the garden, warm reception from Carl & Mandy. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Can't really find anything to complain about, it met our needs except it being Christmas we would liked to have had a proper oven, but a microwave is the available option. No dishwasher, but then again certainly not a critical need.

Swimming pool was amazing, beautiful design, plants are great , like an oasis, water is heated Spacious flat Extremely comfy and very big bed BBQ on a balcony Very clean

The floor was very dusty, felt like no one washed it for a long time The bbq was a little messy before we used it The washing machine broke during the second wash The cafe on site only opened Thursdays - Sundays, although in the brochure from the room it is said it is opened every day

Our apartment was lovely, although the 'pool view' was rather limited from our balcony... Clean and spacious though. Bed was nice and comfortable and the shower and water pressure were great! Fantastic kitchen. Breakfast was fantastic at Hidden @ Yorkeys restaurant, and the staff were lovely.

Might have been a little more comfortable with air conditioning in the room or more centralised, (only due to the humidity and trying to adjust for people not accustomed).

Location - close to the airport, Cairns and main activities in the North, at the same time Yorkey's Knob is very calm and nice area to spend relaxing time, green and quiet terrace, nice, warm and not busy pool, helpful staff. Kids were happy to find Netflix on the TV. I was happy to find everything what's needed for cooking in the kitchen.

Curtains, they just didn't provide enough privacy, light from the front door didn't make the room completely dark at night.

The apartment is so spacious and the tropical view is stunning! The location is so peaceful and quiet. The swimming pool is gorgeous, we felt like we were in a tropical oasis. Carl and Mandy were so lovely and welcoming. The apartment is very clean and had everything we needed.

It would have been nice to have some essentials in the kitchen such as salt/pepper and olive oil. It would also be nice to add a full length mirror as the only mirror in the apartment was in the bathroom.

In many ways a typical place for the string of coastal villages from Cairns to Port Douglas, but the Golden Sands was notable for excellent cleanliness and maintenance. It's in a side street of a side street of perhaps the quietest town on the strip, so very quiet indeed. There is some airplane noise, which I didn't really notice. The beach is accessible via the ocean front reserve out the property's back gate. There is an adjacent restaurant which does a good breakfast/lunch and Sunday brunch with live music and $1 oysters. Communication with management was very good. Parking a bit snug but easily accessible and covered. This is an excellent no-hassles place from which to explore the region.

The pool is more ornamental than functional, but like the rest of the property clean. Plus you can stroll to the beach for a considerably larger pool. There isn't a lot to do in Yorkey's Knob (which is why we picked it), but it's a 15 minute drive to Cairns if you want to see the big(ish) city.

We liked the trees and gardens and the sound of the birds. The unit was very cool with good airflow. We liked the close proximity to the beach for walks. We also liked the little gem Hidden@Yorkeys which was at back of the complex - a delicious breakfast. Unit had everything we needed.

The bathroom basin drain was a bit clogged up and plug didn't work properly

Very quiet secluded location right on the beach. The room had everything we needed and had a wonderful view over the pool. The check in was a breeze and undercover car parking was a plus. The pool was fantastic and you really felt like you were in a tropical oasis.

Other than a disappointing shower that had no pressure and a wonky toilet seat everything else was great.

Absolutely exceptional service. We booked 3 apartments to attend our daughter’s wedding. 2 of our bookings were upgraded. Communication was exceptional. The room was wonderfully clean and the fresh tropical flowers were a beautiful touch. The restaurant was also exceptional and extremely helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend
