Room spotless, sea view. Varied choice of food each day., Staff very friendly and helpful. Weather not too good, but it was the end of January, and there was plenty of games to do with the entertainment reps, quizzes, darts etc. Not much to do in area around the hotel, but at this time of year you could hire a car for about 60/70 euros for 10 days to get out and about. Nice atmosphere in bar and the club, candles on tables and waiter/waitress service for all your drinks, food was buffet style (except for the a la carte night). I found all the food to be brilliant, great choice. Deano and Becky the Thomson entertainment reps left half way thru' our holiday, but their replacements Tony & Andrew seem like great entertainers, very friendly (brilliant 'Mr & Mrs night' with 3 different couples on stage and Tony 'controlling' them, nearly...)., 32" flat screen telly in all rooms, bbc1/bbc2/itv/ch4 and other channels, we had kettle, coffee tea etc in room topped up on a daily basis, towels changed daily. Advertised as adults only, but there were children there from different countries, but they were no problem at all. If you want a holiday where you can walk out of hotel and into bars/restaurants, this is not the hotel for you. But if you want a relaxing holiday, with a nice pool, bar, 'cabaret' room, with excellent service and staff, then this is the hotel for you. As previous reviewers have mentioned, there is a regular bus service which stops outside the hotel, 615, which goes to either Coral Bay, or the other way to Paphos terminus, from where you can get other buses to other parts, all for a 2 euro daily ticket.

Spent the last 2 weeks of January at the Hotel. The service and facilities of the Hotel were faultless. Food was good and varied each night. There was no 'confusion' about drinks with the all Inclusive option, you could drink what you liked in whatever quantity. The team at the Hotel were superb with a special mention for Nicoletta in the Bar and Andreis in the Restaurant.

The Thomsons in house team were the best I have ever come across. A special thanks to Maria, Kym, Deano and Becky for making our holiday so effortlessly special. A job made particularly challenging by a minority of moaning pensioners, especially during a pre notified ,short duration, Cyprus wide power cut - but you get people like that everywhere!
Well done to all the team. I was embarrassed to be British.
Great Hotel. Superb break. Highly recommended.

1st time away at Xmas and New Year...had a fantastic time at this hotel...staff were brilliant, food excellent, evening entertainment very, very good. Room spotless, and cleaned every day. Thomsons reps, Deano and Becky were amazing....when do they every sleep...and Kellie and Andy ( Jinkz ) were superb. Weather was good, except for 3 days thunder, and spectacular lightning, but in was the end of the year, and absolutely no fault of the hotel or Thomsons...there was plenty to do in the hotel, so weather didn't bother us at all. Plenty of sunbeds etc round pool, and on the very green grass, as well as down by the sea. Only fault we found....the indoor pool was cold....unusual for an indoor pool...
Didn't need to drive if you didn't want to...excellent bus service...and for a 2 euro all day ticket, you could hop on as many buses as you wanted....great value.
Would definitely recommend this hotel, and look forward to staying there again....no hesitation.

This was our first visit to the Golden Beach (having allways stayed at the Pioneer Hotel but due to closure had a change)
Although the Location is not as nice as the Pioneer, we could not fault anything else, and having a car helped.
The Staff are exceptional in all areas, reception, restaurant and evening bar staff. A special mention to the A La Carte restaurant staff they were lovely.
Afternoon bar staff not so friendly, a couple not mentioning names could do with a bit more training.
Michael and staff on reception, Nicolletts and Erica in bar need special mention .
A smashing Christmas and New Year, even though the weather was not that Brilliant.
