9.4 Wonderful
Pros:Location. Right on the beach. Very clean. Staff was super friendly.
Cons:Parking was difficult at times
A
9.7 Wonderful
Pros:When you think of a motel, you normally assume a tired run down 2 star hole in the wall. The golden sands is hands down a 5 star kinda motel. More like HOTEL! the first thing I noticed when I finally checked in was how clean the building was! It even smelled clean! The room was perfect. The beds were so comfortable! the bathroom was really nice and modern looking, and the staff I encountered was nothing but nice. I'd highly recommend this to families, couples, groups of friends, or anybody looking for a great deal on a wonderful place. I enjoyed my stay very much and will be back hopefully sooner than later!
Cons:The indoor pool deck was gross and there was trash and a used diaper sitting in one of the chairs. With it being such a family friendly area, i feel it should be kept up with a few times daily! But to be fair, I peeked inside, with no plans of ever using it in the first place. You're at a beachfront motel who needs an indoor pool!
