Golden Sands Hotel - Barbados (all)

The pros of this hotel are the amenities such as beautiful pool and beach. The staff was very helpful and gracious. Our room was very comfortable with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Lunch was delicious. The cons are the breakfast was expensive if you are not a big breakfast person. $21 US for coffee, yogurt and some fresh fruit. Also, you need to get down to the pool early if you want to get a chair. Some chairs had towels on them all day but, no one ever came to sit on them. That was somewhat rude. Other than that, a nice hotel. I have stayed at The Crane in the past and this was just as lovely.

This was a great place for us to stay. The room was large enough because it included a bedroom and a living area. It also provided a small kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker. The beach was beautiful and the pool clean. We had a car to get around the island and spent alot of our time seeing the sites and visiting different restaurants. This hotel was perfect for us because it provided us with a nice place to stay without having to pay for alot of other amenities.

Much better than expected

The hotel is on a beautiful stretch of beach lined with beautiful Hotels and homes. Close to the local bus stop that can take you to nearby towns and shopping. Loved all the all water activities.There was a mix up with our room, however, management upgraded us and we appreciated the front desk staff for being helpful. Would return to this hotel again.

I think it's a little overpriced for how "nice" the hotel room is. But it is right on the beach and near all the south coast attractions, which was convenient. I could hear some road noise, but not enough to keep me up. The view of the beach was really nice. The concierge was very helpful and polite.
