Reviews for Golden Sand Hotel
Review 1:A shower in the beach would be nice. It was very hard to clean yourself from the sand.
Review 2:It was my birthday and they send a full breakfast and a bottle of champagne to our room. It was a very nice gesture.
Review 3:The location is very nice and the landscape very unspectacular, nothing exiting... that makes a very good atmosphere. The Family run Hotel is as fine as always, I go there at least for 20 years
Review 4:Number of bed-chairs near the pool was very little in number and all were full. They charged for umbrellas and bed-chairs in the seaside. Two of three WC's in the restaurant were locked! No changing rooms were available near the pool.
Review 5:Pool & bar facilities was very handy being very close to the sea.
Review 6:Price was not so high but it has a great potential. Rooms were not in a luxury condition but clean. Wifi was a real disaster.
Review 7:Located near a beach, Breakfast was ok, Hotel was generally calm and tranquil. Bar and restaurant were a little expensive comparing to the general condition of the hotel. Staff were nice and kind.
Review 8:changing rooms were far from the poolside and seaside. something close to the showers would be convenient.
Review 9:hotel was right on the sea on the beach, very practical. location was perfect. out of the city but very close to the city centre. rooms with sea view are very scenic.
Review 10:The rooms are not very good, especially compared to the Hotel layout...no AC in one room - we changed rooms, but not much better..WIFI not good in rooms
Review 11:the pool, restaurant and lay out of hotel and close the water is very good indeed
Review 12:The hotel needs renovation. The bathroom is uncomfortable. I really do not like the plastic bathroom curtains and 70's style marble walls. The personnel may be more helpful or at least more smiling.
Review 13:I like the fact that the hotel is situated right at the beautiful Karfas beach. It has fantastic mediterranean view from the superior room' windows. Breakfast is satisfactory. Rooms have nothing luxurious, simple but comfortable and large enough.
Review 14:the hotel was tired and in need of a makeover. The rooms were a little basic. the beach chairs were not free.
Review 15:they have a nice lawn garden, which was really relaxing. on the beach
Review 16:-There was no reliable wifi at the room although advertised at the site. -The rooms/furniture and the hotel need renovation if the prices and the 4* will remain. -A/C filters seam not to have been cleaned for long.
Review 17:We lost power at 9pm and was told people working on it. Power wasn't on till next morning. Asthmatic hello in the hotel room. Be honest so I can go to relatives for a day until power is back on. Hyperventilated in my sleep from the heat- Power goes off we know it. Too many air conditioners on on island-normal just becareful of asthmatics -need back up generators to accommodate power outage- hyperventilated because of the heat. Need a portable nebulizer next time with me-luckily had my inhalers-but best hotel except need to install back up generators -IM sure they will put these in-they modernized everything else.
Review 18:Scenery -gorgeous- excellent staff-best hotel ever. No rental of chairs-that is a lie, can go in pool or beach- Has best scenery of all resorts I think-staff was working non stop -just need a first aid station and generators for back up for air conditioners to accommodate health ailments from heat.

Overall great experience!

Review 54:The stuff was so friendly and always with a smile. The position is great, on the beach. The view was lively. Definetely i had a relaxing time. Hope to go again
Review 55:Needs heavily renovation. There is 37 inch tube tv in the room :-))Anything to say more. Hotel is charging 7 euro for beach umbrella forthe hotel guest . Breakfast is strictly up to 10.30 like business cityhotel. They are not serving even coffe after this. Wedding parties everynight lasting up to 02.00 am. However beauty of the beach is coveringmost of the minuses.
Review 56:Beautifull and quite beach,no water ski,no jetski,,not crowded likeCesme,shallow water for kids,
Review 57:The location is good, the prices are good, but the beach service not effective enough , u can't find someone to order and the interesting thing is they charged us for the seats at the beach. As normally u make check out at 1, after that we go to the beach but they said we have to pay!! It was odd.
Review 58:Breakfast a bit too poor/ you have to pay 3,50 euro per day for achair at the beach, that's inadequate
Review 59:Room big and comfortable/ nice sea view/ friendly stuff/hotel direct at the beach/ nice restaurants around the area
Review 60:1. Noisy airconditioner in the room - impossible to sleep without it on. When I complained they checked it and said it was fine however on and off during the night it still kicked into noisy mode which was not great. 2. I think the charge that the hotel levies of 7 euros for the umbrella and sun loungers on the beach is unacceptable. You are paying the hotel a lot to stay there and this should be included in their facilities - charge people that aren't staying at the hotel - not its guests.
Review 61:I generally liked the hotel and the breakfast restaurant staff were excellent. The location was fantastic - right on the beach. Breakfasts were good.
Review 62:Rooms, towels, beds, etc. are very old. They look dirty, althouh theyare not..Hotel needs to be renewed completely..
Review 63:Friendly staff, perfect location..
Review 64:the stuff was very friendly. they figured out on tha passport the brithday of my mother and brought the great breakfast for her to her room. that was excellent. thanks you Golden Sand Hotel.
Review 65:Hotel hallways and rooms are a bit outdated. The hotel feels pretty isolated in the off-season (late September-October).
Review 66:Great sunbathing location--beautiful pool and small, quiet private beach. It's also easy to walk to some local restaurants. The lobby is lovely and complimentary breakfast better than many in the area.
Review 67:Some staff at the hotel were difficult and refused to help. It would be helpful if staff would be knowledgable about things to do in the area and assist in coordinating.
Review 68:Great location to have the beach rig off of the pool. Great value for money with the deal from booking, would not have paid full price.
