“Aruba Sands Resort places you steps from Broadbeach's dining and entertainment, which is a definite plus. That said, persistent cleanliness issues reported by guests are hard to ignore, and reports of worn furnishings raise questions about value. For proximity to local attractions, it works, but weigh that against potential drawbacks.”
