I don’t recommend this hotel, because it’s not suitable for people who want to relax and enjoy the quiet, and it’s not as clean as it should be. It’s over priced too.

Anish, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful pools and gardens, definitely a family resort.
Hilary, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Not suitable for peace & quite & older couples!

Owing to the design of building you cannot escape the uncontrolled noise of children playing in the swimming pools. Definitely would not recommend to older couples. Perfect for young families. Breakfast good & varied. Reception not very helpful or informative. However the lower ranks very pleasant. This is not the Golden Sands we remembered & enjoyed in 1980, but time moves on!! Not the hotel’s fault but the beach has all but disappeared.
Alastair, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel if maybe a little dated, but everything is super clean and you can’t beat the views! For a solo business traveler it’s probably not the first choice, but for holiday or traveling with family it was a delight.
