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

Not for the English
The staff are very unprofessional. The breakfast is mediocre. When items run out Eggs, drinks ect they are not refurbished until you tell the staff,even though they have seen that they are empty.The maintenance on the building and especially the gardens are in some areas non existent. our terrace outside was one feet high of weeds,the table had paint flaking off. The hotel catered mainly for polish and dutch personnel. I do not think it would be suitable for the English.

So many missings
When I arrived, they could find my name because Hotels.com didn’t inform them about my stay. The room has a damaged couch, the bed wasn’t queen bed, it was combined of two single bed, the bed was so uncomfortable, there was no hair conditioner. Also, the hotel can not provide me towels for beach in the first day, they said it run out.

Going back to Karfas but not to golden sand!
We booked this hotel a- for Karfas beach And b- because this hotel offered all inclusive. The location is indeed really nice with a great for the kids beach and my toddler had a lot of fun. The food, lunch , dinner and what the all inclusive offers on the other hand it is extremely poor and cannot be compared with any other all inclusive I have ever been. I can only assume they offer all inclusive to attract people but they don't really offer much and what they offer is so poor quality that you dot want to drink it. First Of, they tried to convince me that all inclusive is full board and I am not entitled any free drinks, refreshments or snacks. After i insisted and made them read the meaning of all inclusive from expedia that was my booking, they changed their mind to offer me that. BUT ! what I was offered was, free DRAFT fizzy drinks and DRAFT wine, beer and oh so ONLY at the 2 hours that lunch and dinner lasted. Not any other time of the day and not anything else apart from these drafts. The draft wine was so cheap that was impossible to drink!!!! The snack that the all inclusive offered was also specific time juice and cake. No fruit, no ice cream, not even water to an island that tap water is not safe!!!! Of course , nothing from the pool bar or anything else. We ended up buying 6 water bottles, milk for my girl and wine from the mini market!!!! In an all inclusive holiday! Ridiculous and embarrassing golden sand!!!!!
