The beds were very comfortable, clean rooms, great staff. While food was really good the limited time (breakfast not until 8am) and take out only until 11:00am was very inconvenient. No one monitors the pool and there was seldom any towels so everyone had to buy them, and too many unsupervised children in the pool

Housekeeping inattentive

We had three rooms. Last name is Holleran. I asked the front desk to kindly sweep out the floor and the bathroom at 8 AM on our second day of arrival and it was never done when I call down the young girl at the desk. Kaylee was very sweet said that the housekeeping had gone home and if I wanted it, she would come up and do it by 24 hours had passed and we never got any kind of cleaning and we had asked for..

Over the three day stay we only had hot water one time. On one day we had no water for most of the afternoon. The staff did apologize and state that a plumber is working on things but they did not resolve during the stay

Another perfect beach trip at Golden Sands. This resort is everything you could want in a beach stay. I’ll never look anywhere else again. This was the second time we’ve stayed there and in between I’ve stayed at probably a dozen hotels across the country. Granted not all were for vacation but the Golden Sands sets the bar for hospitality, cleanliness, and just everything! It is convenient and lovely. Next door the Ocean Grill is great for lunch or dinner and the tiki bar is fun too!

It was alright

Staff was really friendly. Check-in was easy and seamless. We didn't get an Oceanfront view as promised and the room wasn't as clean as expected. What saved this place is that it's literally a minute walk to the beach and their unique tiki bar.

Overall it was a good place to stay with small kids. The room was cute and it seemed very clean. Staff were very nice. The kids really enjoyed the arcade room. The restaurant next door was convenient. The cons were that the Wi-Fi was spotty and it seemed like the parking wasn’t enforced because at busy times the parking lot would be full and we would have to wait for a spot to open up. Seemed like people were parking there who weren’t staying there.
