Sandpiper Apartments Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

We phoned prior to find out parking options. They said no valet. We arrive and sure enough, there’s complimentary valet parking for guests. This was a pleasant surprise. The lady at reception was not especially helpful. We requested an early check-in during booking process. We arrived around 2 hours prior to normal check-in and were told our room wasn’t recently. We paid extra for breakfast, $100 meal credit and late check-out. The receptionist twice mentioned a $50 credit - not sure why? Our lunch meal at restaurant Nineteen was excellent. Fresh oyster journey, moreton bat bugs and dessert. An extensive wine list including by the glass. The infinity pool on level 19 looks amazing. Given more time, we would have used it for sure. We booked the stellar room. The room itself was spacious and luxurious. King bed. Separate living/dining room. Both with large TVs. Bath tub. Monsoon shower. Bath robes and slippers. Smart lighting and curtains. Large balcony with 180 degree view, albeit ocean view mostly obstructed by other buildings. Mid afternoon, we received a random knock on the door. It was the turn down service. We didn’t oblige. Reception had failed to mention this. We ordered room service for dinner. Uninspired menu. Burger and fries took around 45 mins. It was warm at best. And very over priced. There was some loud-ish dance music being played in the shared corridor, over the in-house audio speaker system. Poor choice. We could hear it while watching TV in bed. Fortunately, the next sound track improved around 2300h. Breakfast was pre-paid. We were handed a memu and told we could order what we wanted. Juice, tea or coffee and a main. We ordered crab omelette and some sides. We were unexpectedly charged extra for the sides. It wasn’t explained to us. Thankfully, check-out was simpler and smoother than check-in. Concierge and valet were on point. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but for the price tag, don’t think it represents fair value - we’ll unlikely return.

This is the second time we've stayed in one of these apartments. They are spacious and well equipped. If you like being right in amongst the Surfers Paradise atmosphere this is the place to stay. They are well priced for the luxury. A few points: There are only two keys. This worked out fine for our group of eight but did take a little coordinating. The lifts are busy especially around 10am checkout time. Leave with 10 minutes to spare in case of congestion. The apartments are kitted out with essential consumables which is great. Some spray and wipe and toilet cleaner would've been appreciated for our week long stay. We all highly recommend these apartments - close to everything with awesome views up and down the coast.

The apartment has the Wow factor when you enter it as the view from 1002 is spectacular. We have stayed at various apartments in this building and this has one of the best views. We loved watching the whales from the balcony. We were booked for a 3 week stay and, sadly, the kitchen was lacking. There was no microwaveable dishes and no oven dishes. However, the frying pans were practically new. Nearly all the kitchen cupboards were empty. I like to use table mats and coasters to protect the property but there were none. The lounge furniture was very comfortable. I'd like to suggest a table lamp or subdued lighting would be good on an evening. It was a beautiful apartment just not very homely. The mattresses in the master bedroom could do with being renewed. I probably wouldn't have noticed any discomfort for a short stay but after 3 weeks, it was telling. We would return to Iconic Kirra as we love the location and apartment size.

Unit 10A family of four, two adults, two teenagers, 5 nights. A beautiful stay! The view was gorgeous from both balconies! The apartment spacious and the facilities (2x pools/tennis court/ sauna / spa were perfect after a long day exploring. Check in was warm and welcoming and the secure car parking great. Some items in the apartment were looking old like the curtains, but didn’t impact the stay. Furnishings were lovely and beachy and the beds comfortable. Living area and main bedroom has aircon, all spaces have ceiling fans. Washer and drier was useful for the longer stay. Would absolutely stay again. Accessibility: the unit is not wheelchair accessible, but isn’t advertised as such. The shower both have larger lips to step over as do the balcony doors. The two pools and spa have handrails into them which was a great support.
