Tonight we ate in the bistro inside this pub called Kirabelle Kitchen. We ordered the $15 special of the day - Chicken parmigiana. It was excellent and very good value !! Could not fault it. Generous sized parmy, loads of chips and delicious fresh salad with tasty dressing. The lady staff member with the blonde curly hair and glasses was friendly and helpful- great service by her.
Can highly recommend. Make sure you take your appetite with you - big meal

The room we stayed in (20) is in disrepair, but the staff were friendly and the location is 100m from the beach.

The room was shabby and run down. It had a broken locker and the furniture needs an upgrade. The toilet/shower multipurpose rooms are disgusting, because the drainage is terrible and the floors are usually wet and grimey—making them unpleasant to walk in.
The hotel has a restaurant and bookies on the ground floor. The restaurant was good and has great staff, however the bookies attracts some less desirable personalities to the property—therefore attracting negative energy to the overall experience.
I am giving two stars because the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the location is really good.

The meals are fantastic and very well priced 👍🏾
The atmosphere I find, is always friendly and inviting.
It's hard to leave when the beers are flowing and the locals are so down to earth ✨️

Stayed on a non-holiday Thursday night for 1x night, in Room 21 upstairs (non-Balcony room). Place is 2 stars, and this Rating is accurate. Air conditioner was cold, which is great. Check-in was easy, staff were very friendly, when pointed out an issue in the toilet, was fixed immediately by them. The window in my room, however, refused to close so was open all day and night (top part of the 2x part window); needs repair. Shared facilities which were clean. Close to beach. Would stay again for 1 or 2 nights max. Pub downstairs has nice food and was quiet after 10pm.

On the 2nd Dec I hosted my husband's 60th birthday party at the Coolangatta Sands Hotel. The venue was amazing and just perfect for our gathering. The function managers, Stacey & Kat, were extremely helpful and always answered my email inquiries promptly. I was organising this function site unseen from NQ so I was a bit nervous about the venue so I may have sent them a few emails.
The food was excellent. The staff were very friendly, professional and excellent at their job.
All in all we had a night to remember and I highly recommend this venue for your next function.

I went to the Kirra belle sands hotel pub. How do you screw up a Parmy? Well if you ever need to know ask the chefs here. The toppings were so sweet you may as well got me sugar and spoon fed me.
Parmy is suppose to be a dinner not a dessert. Everyone who ordered the Parmy was complaining how sweet it was…. Did you not wash the pan from the sweet pork? I’m not sure. I couldn’t personally eat it and won’t be back.

I was at this place for a function last weekend. All I have to say is the service we had was disgusting. Not a smile, not a word spoken to us, just dirty looks and extremely unfriendly service, 1 bar staff in particular, but overall the service was terrible. I work in customer service and I know how important it is to have staff with good customer service, I’m no expert but it’s just common sense. A simple “hey what can I get for you?” would of been appreciated.

I couldn't care less about the place I stay when I travel. I always pick the cheapest places I can throw my bags and come back to for a few hours sleep. Unfortunately, the Sands hotel failed to meet these requirements, with a smoke alarm periodically beeping through the night. I reported it but the attendant said they couldn't do anything about it, which is just a little bit INSANE.

Have just stayed there for too long. It’s one weird place. Long term residents boozing and making noise outside rooms into the early hours, while others are trying to sleep.
One of their long term residents is paranoia personified, as an ex psych nurse I know all the signs!!

Have been driving past for years. Went for lunch on a Wednesday. Two of us had the steak sandwich and one had wedges. Good serve of wedges and the steak sandwich was one of the best we've had. Prices very reasonable and really friendly staff. On our list for a return visit.

Great location, but the staff were rude ab initio. It began with them being very slow, & then assuming I'm not from Australia. It just got worse & worse. The double suites are not worth it at all. Utter disaster.

Do not stay here. Backpackers! Trust me! My firts time, a year ago, was great. The staff (Amelia) was amazing. Nice environment , met others backpackers. My second time in September, I was with My friend who was in the males room and in the middle of the night, a junkie that was in the Hostel, came into the room and tryed to abused him. And now, I come back for a couple of nights and there are 2 junkies, all day smoking, drinking, looking what u do and with who u are. I invited a friend to cook with me, and as the new rule is that u can not have Friends in the Hostel, they started to insult me "suck My a** and suck My d***" . I ran after the manager and he offer me a REFUND! I mean, I had to leave and the two totally aggressive and disrespectful people are still there. I was crying and they did nothing. Thanksfully there are cameras everywhere, so this is on record. Now I went to the police and they Will process.
It is a shame that the management prefers that kind of people living here over people that come here to work and have a good experience.

Booked a room for me and my daughter ages ago and when in reception they notified me that no Under 18 is allowed to stay. Ruined the logistics of the weekend. I'm not killing the messenger as the staff was very friendly. This information should be clearer!!! There is no Info about this during the whole booking process!!! "Adult" age cut should be fully specified as for majority of accommodation (for price purposes) will consider any over 12 as an adult...

Accommodation is not up to standard for the amount you pay, it’s grotty the air conditioning unit is filthy dirty.. just four walls and a bed .. no coffe or teas nothing! The cupboard old and dirty! the bed was clean and comfortable, the showers toilet smell and not cleaned very well… if you like basic and not worried about being clean this place is for you
