This was our first time staying at Golden Sands! Doug was there to welcome us when we checked in. He made us feel like family the second we entered the office. He was kind and had tons of suggestions for restaurants. He was personable and chatted with my six-year-old, who immediately became a big fan of his :). He was helpful and attentive our entire trip. Thank you so much, Doug! I also left my hair straightener behind, and Doug went above and beyond to get it and mail it to me on his own time. The Hotel is old….. Like every other hotel around there, however, it’s extremely clean and kept up-to-date. We had a very nice room with air-conditioning and a kitchenette. There is an outdoor swimming pool that was a bit brisk but very much needed as it was around 36° when we were there. Golden Sands is now going to be our family’s go to hotel! Thank you Doug for providing a level of customer service that went above and beyond!

It was a good stay. Cable didn’t work. Said they would call Shaw but never heard anything again about it. Otherwise it was good. Older man working front desk was amazing

6/10 Good

The ceiling fan in our room was falling down and unsafe to use which was unfortunate because it was hot weather and would’ve been useful. As well, the safety sign/firemap or whatever it is right beside the door was shattered glass and half missing - could’ve easily sliced a finger - needs to be replaced asap. Everything else was great and beds were comfy!

The pool was supposed to be heated but it was colder than refrigerator water! The location was very good and convenient. And staff were very nice.

Great location as close to the beach and restaurants. Could be cleaner a specially outdoor, to enjoy seating outside. Housekeepers were in rush to prep the suite, no toilet paper and forget collecting garbage in the kitchen. Otherwise they have amazing staff in the office and excellent customer service over the phone. I wish they had individual table outside of the suite or more seating “patio” outside. With full parking it is hard to find any space. I would come back again

Was nice to have a full kitchen. They did have a toaster as well as a coffee maker I just wish that was listed so I didn’t bring my kettle. The bed was springy when u first climb in but didn’t feel them once laying down however every turn u made was uncomfortable and squeaked. The ac was soopppp loud I didn’t sleep the first night at all. Other than that great location and was clean. Oh also the sign in the cupboard said there would be a 25$ charge if we didn’t clean our own dishes which actually just grossed me out….im glad i pre washed the cup I used n the one spoon. Can’t trust others.

Dont book your stay
We were expecting that this place will give us satisfaction but to our dismay, manager at the office was making calls instead of checking in the people who are waiting for him… toilet dont have any toilet tissue, towels is worse than our rug at home… under beds are not just dusty but lots of garbage.. I like the place coz it is very near the beach, but i will never book any stay in this hotel again…
