Golden Sands Hotel

We booked Golden Sands as a last minute thing as our planned holiday to Crete had fallen through. The hotel is very seventies in design and feel, and the public areas are somewhat drab.
The pool area is excellent and the pool bar serves good tea and coffee.
Hotel rooms are small but have everything you need; just sitting on the balcony of an evening and looking at the world go by was great.
Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. St George itself is a dusty flyblown one street / one horse town – great, plenty of bars and restaurants. Mad Mikes is good fun. The Village inn is the pick of the eateries.
Good beaches either side of the hotel, walking up to Argirades (about 45 mins ) is highly recommended. Hiring a scooter or quad is a good idea as there is only one bus a day from St George. The cheapest place is the one at the entrance to hotel, haggle and they will give you discount.
Golden Sands would make a good choice for all except the young and lively.

The Golden Sands is a very old fashioned hotel.
We stayed for a week and was glad to get home to a proper bath/shower. The bathroom was very small with just a tray for a shower.
The rooms were ok very clean and had air conditioning if you paid extra.
The pool was lovely and clean and also very warm. This Hotel is Very nice but could do with updating a bit.
