Clean and comfortable! The only downside to our specific room, there was a small building directly in front of the balcony. So, it blocked the view to the ocean. Otherwise, it was a great stay for our family!

Great place to get away
We have staid here numerous times and always love it. The room was bright and cheery and super clean. The decor was modern and beachy. I love how they have several hooks on the wall to hang things like towels, bathing suits, beach bags, backpacks, etc. Even though we didn’t need it we had a family suit. I would have loved this when my kids were younger. It had a cute, beachy bunk, full on bottom single on top and a separate tv. There is a little separation with the bathroom, wardrobe area and microwave and fridge between the 2 sleeping areas. The view, as always is beautiful. The restaurant is good. The tiki bar is fun. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The beach is spectacular. There is so much to do close by. This is our go to get away. Great for couples and families. The only negative was the WiFi was pretty much non existent. Did not work well at all of that is important to you.

Golden Sands was a nice place for a pre-Spring getaway with my son and daughter. Balcony had wonderful view of ocean. It was too cold to use the pool but it looked nice. Didn’t go to the onsite restaurant or bar but it seemed okay. Staff were nice and friendly.

We checked in late on Thursday night. The hotel is under construction. On Friday morning, construction started at 7:00 am!! Drilling, hammering…..totally unacceptable for travelers on vacation at a beach resort.

They are doing upgrades to one of the buildings, which should be done by spring 2024. The room I was in was very nice and well done. The elevator was a little iffy, ice machine that I saw was rusted on the outside. But overall, it was a great, quick stay.

R&R, close to hospital
The staff was amazing and attentive, knowing that I was in there to be close to the hospital and Dr I needed to see. The facility is very clean and comfortable. A great location, and even though construction was going on, I was able to relax and rest. The meal at the restaurant was very good and convenient. Staff there also very nice.

The room was lovely, and very clean. The view and location gave us everything we needed for a feb getaway. The room was a very nice setup, the bed was very comfortable and the furniture was strategically placed for the best function. The balcony was clean and provided a great view of the pier tiki bar. The stairwell and hallways could use a little TLC, but the condition of the room made us forget about the outside.
