Salty Souse Saturday

30 Jun 2025
Telephoned to book a table but was told fully booked. Arrived and place half empty. Why couldn't we stay for an hour only! Got a takeaway, Souse was way TOO SALTY again. Black pudding was lovely though and staff friendly. Please cut down on the unnecessary salt. Will go back in 2 weeks to see if it's still salty. If so I'll be done with the souse there!

food

30 Jun 2025
The overall dining experience was very unpleasant. I found a hair in my food, which was incredibly off-putting and unacceptable. The pie had a sour, almost spoiled taste that made it inedible. While the chicken was the only part of the meal that was somewhat decent, it wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the issues. I expected much better quality.

Golden Sands Hotel, Oistins, Barbados 2023

28 Feb 2023
Good location and excellent staff especially the housekeeping services. We stayed for 2 months (Feb and March 2023) and were treated royally by Michelle and her staff. Many staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasurable. Only down side is restaurant service is very slow but that is a thing in Barbados as no one seems to be in a hurray even to serve you, plus they say they they have a gym/workout room but its open to the salt air and nothing works at all which is a shame and the most disappointing aspect of our stay. Other than that we had a positive experience.

Better then expected

28 Feb 2025
We have booked Golden Sands Hotel just two days before travelling to Barbados as it was last minute trip and to be honest we were a bit worried as we have seen terrible reviews about this hotel just before we got there but decided to give it a go. We usually stay in 5* hotels in Europe so we have had very low expectations , all we needed was to have a clean room at this point- we arrived to the hotel and staff were very nice and I did mention that we are a bit worry about our room as we seen last minute reviews the lady at reception told as she will do her best to give us good room and she kept her promise! We have had side sea view and it was just amazing ! The room itself was a bit old fashioned and basic but plenty of space but super clean! We have had room clean bedsheets changed on regular basis and there was a lot of polite staff walking around so if you needed anything you could just ask! The pool was clean and just perfect for small family , never overcrowded. The only advise is to revamp restaurant it does look dated and empty , we have had breakfast in there and it was delicious just needed to be more looked after. To be honest hotel exceeded our expectations, would definitely recommend, thank you Golden Sands.

Golden Grotto Hell Hole

31 Jan 2025
The Dirtiest, place I have Ever stayed in, noisy disgusting, bugs and cockroaches in the rooms and lizards, smell of lavender everywhere to hide the dirty areas, so bad, unironic sheets, maids who ask for tips and asked if I was rich! my first visit and my last, I had to change rooms on my arrival due to bugs and dirty windows , when slide doors open, they screeched with the dirt on the track, dirty floors and towels and washing hand towels a joke so threadbare, kitchen with no washing liquid, and NO hot water from shower to sink to wash basin, absolutely the worst hotel and service 3 days before I got a toaster, Avoid Avoid. See photos already there of the small bath towel, etc.
