We had a beautiful stay. It’s a lovely resort. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We tried the pizza - absolutely delicious. Just sad that we only stayed one night. We’ll definitely be back. Couldn’t fault it.

Only let down was that the pool was closed for 1 day and when open was zoned in lanes, so not a hotel/holiday vibe at all.

The room was spacious and clean and the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful.
The hotel is well suited to work conferences. or golfing holidays.
For the non golfer or conference participant, the hotel offers less. Although there is an excellent indoor pool, its frequent use for kids’ swimming lessons limits guest enjoyment to one lane for significant portions of the day. Nor does the hotel have an indoor lounge or easily accessible outdoor sitting area.
But during the summer - with the beach and lovely walks nearby - the hotel serves as a very comfortable base.

I stayed 1 night and it was affordable. I’d definitely stay again for longer as I didn’t get the chance to use the amenities.
Getting an uber was also super easy from the location.

Extremely clean, comfy, and quiet stay. The staff were accommodating and amazing with helping to guide around the area. Situated on the course with two restaurants to chose from, a bar, and some kangaroos that roam the greens in the evening. Local to multiple beaches, restaurants, and amenities. Can walk to the beach in 5-10 minutes. Approx a 10 minute drive to anything you need in Torquay. Definitely recommended.

We stayed at The Sands Torquay for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and it was such a lovely experience. We had a golf course view, which was beautiful to wake up to — and we even got to see kangaroos just chilling on the course, which felt so special and very Aussie.

The room was spacious, clean, and really comfortable, perfect for a relaxed holiday stay. On Christmas Day, the team surprised us with a stocking filled with little treats, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the day feel extra special.

Overall, it was a peaceful, welcoming, and memorable Christmas stay. We felt very looked after and would absolutely stay again. 🎄✨

2nd or 3rd time staying at The Sands. Rooms are spacious, clean and all the apps on tv(not that you need). The shower is huge but water pressure average. I came back from the beach with so much sand I asked for a sponge to sweep it up in the shower “don’t be silly, housekeeping will take care of you”. The reception staff are amazing. They helped with an injured bird that crawled up to me on the lovely outdoor area looking out at the golf course. All the staff are amazing, from cleaners, reception(Robyn is fantastic). The staff really go above and beyond. Cora and Levi make a terrific coffee in the morning, Jayden on the bar and restaurant in the arvo has expert knowledge of menu and wines. Dan from Italy making the best Pizza that so hot and spicey (I’m gluten free and it had taste!). Always a pleasure to stay but I still ask BRING BACK THE BLT at breakfast! The Fitness space is adequate for a short stay and staff are friendly. I would and will continue to stay here, sometimes it’s a bargain compared to other locations in the area and the amazing service is outstanding.
