2 Star at best
We saw this hotel on Expedia and expected a 4 star accommodation. We booked 2rooms for 2nights. After 15 minutes we had to go for a walk (the mold in the halls and the rooms were that bad). Being American Expats in India we have travelled extensively in South Asia and know the kind of hotels that are available for what we spent. We walked in to the Shangri-la next door and found that it was indeed a ’real’ 5 start establishment. We upgraded to this resort (paying a significant difference) arranged for our bags to be transferred and had a lovely time there.

We keep returning so we must enjoy!
Golden Sands is a great place to spend a vacation,the staff seem to know you immediately & make you very welcome.They are very friendly/polite & extremely helpful.The breakfast buffet is a delight.The landscaping right on the beach is paradise.We go back when ever we can, the long flight is well worth it.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
