Disappointing and Dirty.
On checking in the receptionist immediately told us that the fly screen on the main balcony door was ripped, but that it would be replaced the following day - we stayed for five days and no one came to fix it.
Within half hour of getting into our apartment the air con unit on the wall was streaming water down the wall and onto the floor. The temperate was set at the temperature we were told to maintain it at. We went to report this to the lady at reception only to be told that it couldn’t be looked at that day and she handed us two towels to soak up the excess water on the floor. So we were expected to walk around towels on a slippery tiled floor.
The bathrooms were extremely run down and dirty. Toilet was dirty, mould all over the shower screens, ripped lampshade, old broken window blinds, dirty rings on surfaces.
The only good thing about this apartment was the view of the ocean.
The pool and grounds are also nice.
Definitely not a resort experience or worth its 4 star rating.

Both the unit and property location were ok however we expected to have some kind of ocean view from our room given its beachfront location. We were told we didn’t request this in our booking and therefore nothing they could do. The wifi was terrible, kids had to hotspot when we were home and couple of days with no wifi due to maintenance. The beach water was murky, so with the local crocodile warnings we didn’t end up swimming at trinity beach. Then the day before our scheduled checkout at 10am, reception phoned to see what time we’d be leaving. Overall not the best experience 😕

great location, good room, few issues ( broken AC ) but were dealt with quickly by staff
Slightly aging property but comfy beds and had everything we needed for a week
No close supermarket but bus stop close and coles and woolies deliver for bigger shops

5 star resort
Our stay at the Coral Sands Resort was amazing. Our superior room was comfortable and roomy for 4 guests and a baby. The pool was clean and the gardens well maintained and had access to the beach through a back gate. The view was beautiful of the pool and beach. The staff were very friendly and checked in before and on leaving the resort. Would recommend.

Didn't like the high step required to get in & out for older people. Shower screen is very narrow resulting in splash. Required to wait over an hour past check in to access apartment.
Excellent pool. Plenty of space in apartment.

Highly recommend a stay at Coral Sands. Suited our family perfectly. Close proximity to beach and restaurants. Pool and gardens were immaculate. Loved having the full kitchen and washing machine. Quiet and safe location, but still plenty happening in town.

Location was good. Unit was listed as “ocean view”. I think this is misleading and partial ocean view or obstructed OV would be more accurate at best. The unit had an “old” odour and was in need of updating despite a recent paint job and new sofa. The quality of furniture was not that of a 4 star property as listed. Expedia also listed as a hotel- this is not a hotel but a self contained property. Smoking on the balconies was also not appealing. Local restaurants provided good
Food. Pool area and grounds were well
Maintained. Make sure you have pool towels unless you want to rent them!

We loved our stay at coral sands- it was the perfect place to finish our holiday/ an ideal location- beach and pool on the doorstep- a few restaurants and cafes in close walking distance. The place was clean and ideal for our young family. Will definitely be back.

Loved the location. Family friendly and nice atmosphere. I didn't like the beds at all,every movement can be felt through the springs and made for some bad nights sleep. Be sure to bring your own pool towels as they are not provided.

Terribly maintained
Broken dining chairs, unpainted walls, broken bathroom fixtures, saggy beds this hotel stay had it all.
Unfortunately as each unit has individual owners it appears the resort has no standards and as a result our appartments looked like the last time it recieved any maintanence was some time ago.

Coral Sands is a nice resort in a great location, across the street from Trinity Beach. The resort has several apartments over 3 levels, with underground parking, but no elevator. We are seniors and getting our luggage up and down the stairs was a feat in itself. The property has beautiful gardens and a large pool - great for families. Communication with the resort could be improved. The resort emails that are sent to guests are mostly non-replyable,so this does not allow for two-way communication. That aside, the resort is well kept and only a few steps from the beach.
