Such a charming little hotel with wonderful, friendly, fun and helpful staff (Brenda, Nicole, Mechelle and Andrea to name but a few). Clean, spacious rooms with good simple cooking facilities if you want to self cater. Maid service in rooms every day. Amazing location 10 min walk from Oistins and opposite a beautiful cove beach with warm, turquoise water. Fantastic little swimming pool which was never crowded. We loved our time at Golden Sands and would be lucky to return one day! Thank you all ❤️

A really nice hotel. The staff are all very polite and courteous and the accommodation is very good. They cannot do enough for you when at the beach, if they see you have no shade they bring out an umbrella. They often bring around cold face clothes to cool you down and sometimes even a tray of Jell-O shots. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. The on site restaurant is very good. They go above and beyond to address any concerns raised. Had an issue with something and they did everything they could to address the situation and contacted us personally to apologize, really appreciate the response from customer services. Thing’s have definitely improved. A sign of a good hotel is when they listen to their guests and try to help. Thank you. The hotel is a little isolated with not many restaurants around and it is better to rent a car for a few days or use public transport but it’s a beautiful location on a wonderful beach. St Lawrence Gap and Oistins are about 15 - 20 minute walk away if you want to visit bars, other restaurants and join in the Friday night Fish Fry at Oistins. Also just a short walk to the main road where you can catch a bus and there are taxis at the hotel of you need one. Overall it’s a great place to stay. Would definitely visit again.

Right next to the sea, the location is excellent. Other infrastructure is very average

This is a beautiful property that is not adequately resourced so beware. My family and I came for a birthday get away. When checking in early, we were told our rooms would be available between Noon - 1 PM and we could wait at the bar/pool area which we did. When we came back to check, we were told that 3 PM was check in time and we'd just have to wait. Had we known this, we would have gone to the beach and came back. As it turns out, the rooms were not ready at 3 PM but we waited an additional 2 hours before our 2 rooms were ready. At that time, only 1 was the type of room we booked so half our family had to wait another 90 minutes. The property has much potential but not as currently resourced. It appears that it changed hands or re-opened in March, nine months prior to our stay. I would emphasize the staff we encountered were friendly but sometimes didn't even show back up after a request was made. My guess is that they could not provide what was promised and were tired of responding without any answers or support from the property/management. The following days were just about the same: - no towels for guests at the pool - when there were towels, they lasted approx 5 min and were not replenished - no bottled water available anywhere, even for purchase - incorrect service or much delayed service at the restaurant - frequently out of basic offerings at restaurant - smoothies, eggs, cassava fries, fish and chips +++ - in addition to poor food service, there are no snacks or other goods for purchase on the property We were connected with a great local surf lesson (Andre Clarke, check him out) via the front desk and that would have to be the one positive of the trip. What was supposed to be a fun family birthday trip devolved into eternal waiting for services that never arrived. I wish I could say that management had any interest in resolving the difference between what was promised and what was delivered but they didn't address it with us while we were at the property and as of this writing and submitting a similar written email, we have had no communication or compensation for the difference between what was promised and what was delivered.

The hotel is located on st Lawrence gap which has a few clubs and restaurants. It can get quite noisy at night. If you opt for the sea view apartment you are less likely to hear the club on the opposite side of the road. The room itself is great, there is a kitchen where you can cook your breakfast and make tea, a working tap, fridge, freezer, kettle, microwave. The balcony and the view is lovely. Woke up each morning looking out onto the blue water and blue skies! I went with my friend and so we had a double bed each which is very comfortable. The shower is a bit slow with water but if you run it for 3-4 minutes the water will get warm. We didn’t opt for the breakfast so cannot comment on what the food is like. Overall positive, my only complaint is beware when ordering taxi they quote in US dollars and not Barbadian dollars. The female receptionist misled me despite me asking her twice is the price quoted Barbadian dollar and she said yes. Then when we finished the taxi ride we were told it was in US dollar and not Barbadian dollars. I think that is a fundamental error by the receptionist and cost me unnecessarily. For that the hotel did not deserve a 5 star. In terms of location it is good but expect noise as you are directly opposite a nightclub called halo that is very noisy at the weekends especially the dj and his microphone shouting into it. The island is very small so everything is not far. It is worth hiring a car to get around the island otherwise the taxi fare will be expensive. A taxi fare from at Lawrence gap to the north of the island would cost you 120 Barbadian dollars one way. The hotel has a nice outdoor swimming pool and private chill out area and a restaurant to order drinks. Would I stay here again? Yes I think i would stay here again.

This hotel was exactly what we needed. From the beginning the service over the telephone was outstanding. Everyone was super helpful and kind over the phone. A special mention to Graham who arranged our taxi with Colin aka Taximan 246. Colin was right on time and took us safely to and from the airport. He was an amazing driver. We even hired him for other occasions. The staff in general was always wearing a smile and let me tell you CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. The rooms were spotless and bed was comfortable. We were right on the Gap which made moving around even easier. I will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that isn't looking for luxury but is just needing a very warm clean reasonably priced accommodation in Barbados and on the St Lawrence Gap. I Will certainly return. Thank you for having us and I look forward to seeing you again. Xoxo Nicole & Trevor
