We really enjoyed our 2 weeks at the Golden Sands. The staff was so friendly and helpful, especially the front desk and housekeepers. The rooms are very large and well furnished, with all the necessary kitchen appliances, dishes, etc. That saved us a lot of money, being able to make meals for ourselves, and just go out to eat once a day. A/C worked very well. We relaxed by the pool every morning, and went to the beach across the street in the afternoon. The beach was beautiful--very nice sand, small waves, and not rocky. Most evenings we would take pool chairs to the beach, with our drinks, and watch the sunset on our "private beach"!
The location is great too--a 10-minute walk to Oistins, with a large supermarket, and the fish market, of course. We loved buying fresh fish and cooking it in our studio apt. The Friday Fish Fry is always great fun too! If we wanted to go anyplace further, the bus stop is across from the hotel.
There is a computer in the lobby we could use, which was very helpful when our return flight was cancelled because of another winter storm. We were rescheduled to fly home 2 days later, and fortunately, we could stay in our room until then. We've been to Barbados before, but are glad we found the Golden Sands this year, and hope to return again next winter.
