1. Upon arrival in the hotel lobby, there was no welcome or instructions provided. 2. After checking in, there was no guidance to the room or information about the facilities' location. Everything remained unclear, and guests had to find their own way. 3. Staff members were unfriendly. 4. The room lighting was very dim, and the bathtub was moldy. 5. The pool was crowded, the food was of low quality, and the prices were expensive. This was the second visit after three years, yet the same issues persisted.

No bathrobe in the room. We are unable to take a proper shower because the water is very yellowish and dirty due to the maintenance of the water tank.

Stayed in Golden Sands for a night, what I really would say, "Old is Gold" don't ever think it is an old hotel, the hotel is very well kept, very clean. Good for bringing family here for travel, the kids pool is just awesome. Breakfast just average, not much choices. Will definitely pay visit again in the near future.

Worth the money. There is a family check-in experience and kid’s corner at the breakfast buffet. Our 2.5 year old enjoyed himself very much. Perhaps an area of improvement is to make the toilets kid friendly - maybe make kids’ toilet seat covers available so they can comfortably use the toilet themselves.

Check in process was quite smooth. Arrived at around 1pm but was told rooms were not ready. Managed to get the rooms at around 2.30pm after having lunch. Rooms and in-room fixtures were very old, damaged and scratched in many places, and could be cleaner. Bathtub was cracked and chipped in places, and there was a lingering odour. There were visible stains on the sofa and tears on bedsheets, with sand on the side tables. Pillows were still firm/fluffy so that’s a positive. Resort facilities are great for young children, with multiple swimming pools and water slides. Small lounge area for infants/toddlers is great too, but is unfortunately not kept clean. The no food/drink rule is not enforced, and we saw a kid spill coffee in the play area. There were mosquitos as well. Food at the garden cafe is mediocre at best. The lunch bento set serving size is small. Breakfast buffet had a decent selection of Asian food, with basic pastries/bread options. Sigi’s was decent for dinner - pictures of the gnocchi and squid ink pasta below.
