Sand Dune surprise
Sand Dunes Resort is located in fairly quiet part of Sunshine Coast away from the hustle and bustle. Great if you love planes as it so close to the airport. The pool is fabulous and close to the beach. We were disrupted by the painting of the property which was very obtrusive however once we complained we were compensated. I was also disappointed by cleaning - the upper floor wasn’t vacuumed and walls and doors need a good clean. Despite the negatives I would return.
