The view is breathtaking, the duck poop all over the beach and floating in the water less so, but I understand that the ducks float to this property because at this time of year, they’re not hunted

The location of the Sands on Golden Lake is very nice. The beach and entrance to the water is very sandy and the water is shallow for a long ways. It would be very nice for families with small children. However, the property is dated, not as elegant as it is portrayed, and completely overpriced for what it is. The service was not great, in that we arrived early and were essentially told to go away and come back for 3:00 p.m check in. No effort was made to even check whether our room might be ready such that an early check in was possible. Additionally, the restaurant, which was good, but also not as elegant as portrayed, did not open for breakfast. I would not return.
