Great location, beautiful hotel.

Great location, great security, beach and pool were wonderful, beds very comfortable, with everything we needed. Only problem was that the rooms were too cold--thermastat didn't change temperature, so we finally had to turn it off most of the time, but then the marble walls and floors and everything got damp w/o the air conditioner on. Also, the housekeepers would clean the rooms but forget to change and bring clean towels--had to call 3 days for towels. Was nice to have a kitchen. Would definitely come again and recommend.

Beautiful escape from life

From the desk clerk to the maids, from the room to the pool and beach - absolutely amazing! The maids were extremely helpful when we needed more time before letting them in to clean. The desk clerks always had a smile on their face and had answers to all of our questions. The room was amazing, king size bed, awesome view from the balcony! The problems . . . washer was hooked up backwards so the colored clothes got hot water (not good) and the ice maker and water in the fridge door were not functioning. Wonderful place to stay!

Shopping tip: Long walk from hotel

With a full kitchen, we needed to stock up on groceries. We did not rent a car so had to make the walk then carry the groceries back. I would recommend renting a car for a couple of days so you could get that shopping out of the way and go see old San Juan.

Relaxing spot for winter break.

Good service. However, we suggest that Orbiz give better directions in finding it. The Embassy beside it was well advertised, but there was no signs for Golden Sands and a different name was on the hotel. It was very hard to find at 1 A.M. in the rain.

My wife & I had a very pleasant stay at the Goden Sands.Rooms were average,but the pool was great! The staff was very attentive and polite. I would stay there again when in Dorado. It's about 40 minutes to the airport.
