The Receptionist (Brenda) was extremely helpful, professional and pleasant/courteous to us. The hotel is very quiet and just a very shot walk across form the sea/beach. The sound of the sea waves was very soothing and relaxing. The room service was satisfactory, and the room(s) were clean. We experienced some challenges with the stove on the 1st to 2nd day of our stay, but this got resolved. The location of the hotel is ideal for access to public transportation and taxi services, and a short distance from a supermarket and other stores. The hotel was NOT crowded. The main challenge experienced was getting Vegetarian meals. It is challenging to find vegetarian restaurants in Oistins and Barbados. I would definitely stay at Golden Sands Hotel again. Overall: an enjoyable 7 night stay at Golden Sands! We highly recommend this hotel to those who want a quiet, clean, and uncrowded place to stay while you are in Barbados. (ML)

Coming back next year
We spent 2+ weeks at the Golden Sands. All the staff were lovely. Brenda was amazing, helping us with everything we needed.The housekeepers came to our room every day. The hotel is comfortable and clean, with kitchenettes in the rooms, a nice pool and beautiful views from the balconies. There is a small beach across the street and we saw turtles as we swam daily. The hotel has a restaurant, serving locals and hotel guests, and their Saturday afternoon karaoke party is a must do.

Whilst the property is quite tired in parts and in need of a facelift, the staff are lovely and helpful with a real feel of ‘home’ . everything worked fine but was quite dated for example the shower area and the noisy fridge freezer Overall it was lovely and cosy to come home to each day/night and we slept fine Our room was in a great location overlooking the sea and the pool and was great for walking to Oistins or St Lawrence Had a fabulous stay !
