Our stay at the Sandbanks Beach Resort was quite the experience! The trailers are clean and offer a comfortable alternative to traditional camping, and the proximity to the beach is unbeatable. However, the beds were incredibly hard, which made sleeping a challenge. Overall, while it has wonderful aspects, improving the bedding would elevate the overall experience significantly.

The playground for kids is a nice touch, but could use more maintenance as it was dusty and cobweb-filled.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The cottage we rented was spacious and offered stunning views of the lake and sunsets. The well-equipped kitchen and direct access to the private beach made for an enjoyable time with family. However, we did find some mattresses a bit outdated and not very comfortable. Despite that, we would definitely return for another visit!

Our stay had both ups and downs. On the plus side, the location was convenient and close to the stunning Sandbanks Park, making it great for outdoor activities. The beach was lovely and well-kept. However, the strict rules really put a damper on our experience, and the lack of privacy between sites was off-putting. Overall, it might suit families seeking a quiet getaway, but not for those looking for a lively vacation.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely wonderful! The location right by the dunes is breathtaking, with stunning sunsets every evening. The owners were incredibly accommodating, making our family feel right at home. However, I wish there were more water activities available on-site for guests. Overall, it was a memorable experience, perfect for families looking to unwind and enjoy nature.

The grounds, including the beach area with hammocks and lounge chairs, were exceptionally clean. However, the lack of on-site kayaking or canoeing options was a slight disappointment.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The trailers were clean and comfortable, and it was family-friendly, which I appreciated. However, the location claimed to be beach-side but involved a drive, and the service I received regarding a refund was quite disappointing. Overall, while it has potential, I can't overlook the issues I encountered.

The trailer was clean and fairly comfortable, but a bit dated. A pleasant place to relax in, given it fit the camping vibe.

The location isn't as convenient as advertised. While it’s family-friendly, it’s a drive to the beach which was frustrating.

Facilities included shared provincial park passes and canoe rentals, but it felt cramped with many trailers close together. A helpful dock area, though.
