Curtains were awful, barely covered the window & full of holes & threadbare. Doona was dirty, didn’t look like it had been washed in a while. Shower based stained & grout looked grotty. Chairs were dirty & stained. Room looked nothing like the photo.

Cheap and cheerful

Had a great 2-night stay at the Golden Sands. Amazing value for money. Everything was very clean, and staff were all really friendly. Location was fantastic - you literally walk out of the property and are surrounded by cafes and restaurants. Beach is a 5-10min stroll away. Plenty of tea, coffee, milk etc provided, and there’s even a toaster and microwave in the room (but with all the lovely cafes and restaurants within a few meters of the motel, we didn’t use them!) Would definitely recommend, and hope to return soon.
