The staff are great, but it looks and feels like the owners have not spent a cent on it since it was built in the 70’s. So, it is tired. There’s nothing wrong with it - it is clean, staff are friendly and efficient, but it is not up to modern standards.

The friendly staff made us feel right at home, and the beautiful beach was the perfect place to relax. The property was clean. While we would have appreciated more sunbeds, our overall experience was excellent.

It was very European. Not the same as American, but we were in Europe to be in Europe, not to be in the US. The food was amazing, we had to wait for food, but when it came, it was consistently worth the wait. We would return to Golden Sands Hotel.

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to Golden Sands Hotel. Beginning with the excellent staff communications, and their personal welcome, and continuing with the room accomodations, and the pool overlooking the beach. I was there for a wedding party, and I was very happy with my hotel choice. As a solo "senior" woman, it is important to me to feel safe, to know that someone cares about my comfort and well-being. This is all true at the Golden Sands Hotel. I recommend it highly and can't wait to visit again!

Great location. Terrible old hard matresses. College dorm beds. A little investment would go a long way. Great grounds keepers. Great staff ar front desk. Great breakfast . Rooms needs painting and furniture upgrade. Excellent laundry service. Parking a nightmare. If they put decent beds and pillows and some paint in the rooms it would be much better. i would still reccomend the hotel for the location , great staff and great breakfast

If you like to have the experience of living 20-25 years ago in a sort of tradition, this Hotel is fine. If you miss some modern life comfort, you might have some hard time. Suit yourself!
