Customer service was appalling. Hotel was empty, after showing us two rooms, one flooded & one filthy, I asked for part of my money back, they wouldn’t give me a dime! Warning, don’t stay here if you’re looking for a clean place to stay or an honest hotelier with some integrity.

When I checked in, the person at the desk was very rude and dismissive despite my happy disposition. When I checked out, a new person on the desk was fabulous! People matter.

The Golden Sands Resort has a great location. Our room wasn't ready for check-in time however, and the property itself could do with some updating.
