Goldi Sands Hotel

This was my third stay at the Goldi Sands, honestly, the last time was nearly 20 years ago but I had such a great time back then I had high expectations. In the intervening 20 years, the hotel has had a revamp, double the size, double the number of swimming pools, added an elevator and they've removed the beach-fronted bungalows. All of which I think was a smart move and well worth doing. What has changed is the service and the catering. The staff are of course all very polite just that they didn't go the extra mile like they used to. We arrived late as our flight had been delayed, all I wanted was a couple of bottles of beer, they did arrive but I almost had to beg. I booked a taxi to the airport with the front desk, but they forgot, the waitresses at dinner were all about the hard upsell rather than serving. The breakfast as far as my memory serves me used to be awesome, today's breakfast is the same every day and lacks imagination, is poorly presented, and includes the worst coffee ever. The hotel has a confusing number of tariffs from all-inclusive to room only which means if you want to buy a drink it takes forever as they have to check your "status" and then if you pay cash they have to go to the cashier as they carry no float. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable but basic. All in all it is still a good hotel to choose but sadly it is no longer in the memorable category.

Schönes Hotel direkt am Strand, gutes Preis Leistung Verhältnis

A wonderful & peaceful hotel with amazing staff who makes you feel like home... I was on Half Board basis in a Deluxe room 439... The meals at the restaurant was tasty and a good variety of choice for everyone... The staff are always with a smile, that makes you stay memorable... I will definitely come a gain to stay hear....

We arrived at 8 pm and our room wasn't ready and we had to wait an hour before we could get in. The hotel feels old and tired. The air conditioner didn't get cool enough although they did work on it and it was better the second night. On departure we discovered that we owed them for breakfast. It was my mistake but I asked them if as a courtesy for the one hour wait on arrival they could comp me the breakfast. They claimed they had upgraded our room to compensate us but we were staying in the old part of the hotel so that simply wasn't true. All in all it was an unpleasant experience.
