Golden Sand Oceanfront

ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE NO ELEVATOR. OTHERWISE PERFECT PLACE TO STAY.

We really enjoyed this property. Location, location, location. Small number of rooms, private gated entrance, wonderful ocean view patio, and right on the boardwalk. Right on the ocean and boardwalk with many restaurants and stores. Highly recommend and will book again.

Tony, property manager was so nice and easy to get ahold of! The place provides chairs for the beach (first come first serve) but we had no problem getting them, boogie boards, an umbrella. Beautiful balcony overlooking the beach, walking distance to everything on boardwalk. Great price, experience, and would recommend!

Right on the beach. Close to everything. Lockbox checkin. Parking is $20/day. Right on top of restaurants, short walk to the bandshell with great live music, beach is 20’ away. Only thing to note…. Nobody to help at checkin, units are on the 2nd floor with no elevator, no fan in the bathrooms and windows are sealed shut. Otherwise, a fantastic location.

Great location right on the boardwalk and beach. Nice rooftop patio.

Location was great beach right in front of hotel. Facility provided beach chairs a plus. Restaurants walking distance. Definately will be staying at the hotel again.

Well located. Very clean. Parking was expensive.

We had a wonderful time at Golden Sand before our cruise. Great location. Love the patio area…gave me a chance to get out of the direct sun and still enjoy the view. Room is a bit dated, but it is an older hotel. Bed was ok….not great, not terrible. Check in was a breeze. Would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying here, and we absolutely loved it. Tony, the owner, was quick with response. Housekeeping ladies were nice and friendly. The property is a little bit outdated, but they're doing their best to keep it clean and well maintained. Patio on the roof is a big plus as well And nothing can bit the area, of course. This is our favorite hotel on the Hollywood Beach so far.

I absolutely loved my stay at Golden Sands! Tony the manager was incredibly responsive, made sure I had what I needed, check-in was a breeze and I had a parking spot on the property (for $25/night but it was very convenient and I was aware of the fee prior). The rooms could use some updates but you are not in your room much so in my opinion I'd rather pay less and understand that it is not a luxury hotel! The shared patio is super nice to sit on and chit chat with other guests along with watching the ocean and listening to the live music all around you. The music did not bother me, during the week it was quiet enough by 10 and on the weekends by 11, so it was not a big deal. The location is amazing - you are directly on the beach and broadwalk so plenty of food choices and easy access if you want to go lay on the beach. There were chairs provided by the property for free or if you want something more extragavant there are plenty of places to rent chairs/umbrellas/etc from. Hollywood itself is a great location as Fort Lauderdate and Miami both are within easy driving distance so I did some adventures beyond just Hollywood but it was nice to have Hollywood to come back to every evening where it was busy but a relaxed busy that I thoroughly enjoyed. My trip was amazing and I'd absolutely stay here again!

Amazing view of the beach and ocean. Clean rooms. Beach access. No room service or cleaning during the stay but rooms were nice and clean even though they were old.

Amazing experience! The location is phenomenal. My husband and I definitely enjoyed our stay. It was clean, comfortable, safe & secure. The view is amazing. Your literally at the beach. We will definitely be back. The lady in charge of cleaning was friendly and helpful whenever we would need something. 10/10. Definitely recommend.

Right by the beach, room was clean and cozy, price was pretty affordable, would recommend

Had a great stay! The unit was clean and comfortable and could not be closer to the beach. Will definately stay again.

Very clean. Needs repair

We had a very good stay. The rooms are clean and have all that you need. Maybe there needs to be some cosmetic work done but overall, it was great. They were very accommodating--letting us check in early. Very easy check in and they give you all the codes. Easy communication with texting. The property is right on the boardwalk--beach. There is a community balcony to see the ocean and there was even a Candy Cane Parade while we were there and we could watch from the balcony. We would definitely stay again!

We liked the layout of our efficiency, but because it is an older bldg, there are few outlets & some corners needed a more thorough cleaning. We had all we needed, staff were friendly, & the beachfront locale was great. The gate on the right side of the building does not lock, so why require an entry code on the opposide side? Needs attention and awareness for customer safety!

Staff was awesome, owner was friendly. Quiet place. THE OCEAN VIEW AMAZING. Very clean and just overall had a great time there.

It was a great experience. The room was clean and at a good location. We can easily find some good places to eat lunch or dinner. I love sitting at the balcony to watch people walking around or just go to the beach for the sun! Definitely coming back!

Stay was comfortable but the beds needed to be replaced as they have gone soft and uncomfortable. Area and position is brilliant with amazing views of the coastline

Waking up to the ocean literally a few steps was exactly what we wanted! Everything else was secondary. It is on the boardwalk so there is noise and music playing very very late, but if all you care about is waking up to the ocean then this is the place!

The room is above a Cuban restaurant that blasts music non-stop until well past midnight. (4am on weekends. 2am weeknights.) Also, one of the windows had cracked glass and a couldn’t open any of the windows. Based on the other reviews, seems some people are able to deal with the music. Not sure if they were in a different room that was more set back or if some people can just tune it out. For us it was a dealbreaker. We left after one night despite booking a three night stay. The owner did agree to refund the third night, which we appreciated.

Great location, spacious room. Furniture banged around a bit, especially in the kitchen. Noise from bar downstairs is a bit overwhelming.

It was clean and Tony was awesome to deal with. The location can't get any better.The only negative thing I got is the bar below us left it's music playing all night long ,that was irritating ASF after awhile.

The location of this property was fantastic, on the broadwalk! The room itself was less than desirable but it was pretty economical.

Was a nice location very close to beach. Staff was super nice and helpful. Room was a little less than I expected. Bed was very worn and flimsy, not very comfortable. Shower was hard to set knobs to temp because they kept coming off unscrewed. Door was rusted and didn’t deadbolt. Louder than expected all night. I did like the heat/air conditioning it was good output. The kitchenette was nice to prep food or eat. Patio overlooking the beach was nice.

Great Owner,Very polite & helpful. Easy to find, the boardwalk has mom &pop restaurants which were fantastic. Keep in mind the Music from the broadwalk goes at least till 11pm/12am. And parking is Tricky, besides Loved our Stay :)

Location was excellent! Staff was great! Very responsive!

Great Location right on the beach! Tony provides an excellent experience with on the spot customer service and met our every need! Will be staying again very soon!

This is not like anywhere you have stayed. The day of your check in you will receive instruction for check in. Which includes room number and lock box code. You let yourself into the room. Rooms are the basics of what you need, but cozy well kept and clean. The outdoor patio area is perfect with a variety of chairs and a table. Views on the broad walk and beach are outstanding. Tony (management) and Maritza (housekeeper) are phenomenal! Tony always responded quickly and Maritza was friendly smiling and always a good conversation! If you’re looking for somewhere to stay that isn’t a lavish 5 star hotel this is your place. It’s cozy, beds are comfortable and the location couldn’t be better! We WILL be returning!

The hotel is right on the beach, which was great. The room was spacious, but housekeeping doesn't come daily unless you ask for it in advance. We had two towels and one wash cloth and ran out of toilet paper. We received the key via a lockbox. I'm not sure if there is a reception area or lobby. I communicated with Tony via text. He was very kind, professional and responsive. I didn't like not having a person at the front desk lobby to go talk to. The more is a club next door, but the music and noise ended at a reasonable hour. The area was pretty quiet at night and bustling with people during the day. There are several restaurants up and down the boardwalk. Not much in the way of shopping, but there is a convenience store within walking distance. The value for the money was good.

Management/staff went above and beyond. Extremely nice, extremely helpful, will definitely stay there again. Great location to be on the Broadwalk. See you guys again soon!

Staff contacted us early the day we arrived with check in instructions and were attentive to our needs. This is literally steps from the ocean with plenty of dining options. Would 10/10 stay here again!!!

Stayed here twice. Loved it each time. Very flexible. Example: Tony got us checked in ahead of schedule when we let him know that our plane was arriving early. Thank you!

The small 8 unit beachfront 2nd floor property is very comfortable. The address is the road behind the property because there is only pedestrian way in front. The owners / operators are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They were very helpful with restaurant recommendations in Hollywood Beach and other areas nearby. 2nd floor and There is NO elevator. Inside the unit there was a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, cups, plates, bowls, utensils, corkscrew. The bathroom had a hairdryer as well as the expected beach towels, The closet had plenty of hangers and an iron. I was a bit confused because I was expecting a more traditional hotel and check in desk but their system was very efficient. There are coded boxes where room keys are stored. It works really well when there are multiple guests and one key and no need for it to be left behind or lost in the sand. The view from the courtyard deck is spectacular. They provide camp type chairs for use on the beach or else there is a hut that will rent chairs and umbrellas nearby. You don\'t need for a car once you get there although parking is available for $20 / night (at the time of this review) Many international restaurants are walking distance -nearby. Peruvian, Argentinian, Greek, Turkish, Tacos, Beach seafood, burgers. The clean boardwalk is full of restaurants but only a few of the cheap "beach t-shirt" spots.There is a family vibe for the beach but also a noisy music filled nightlife after dark.

Fantastic location, a few steps and you're on the sand. Plenty of bars and restaurants

Unit was accommodating and functional. Staff was easy to contact and responded quickly. Fantastic beach view from the room with an outside veranda for sitting and enjoying the site of the ocean and broadwalk. Just steps of away from beach and broadwalk. Yes at Hollywood Beach it is called a "Broadwalk". Many shops, restaurants and sitting areas along the broadwalk. The broadwalk provides for walking, jogging, rollerblading and bicycling. Area is kept clean. Plenty of to do especially if you are and active person.

Clean and location great! Short walks to many restaurants! Can’t get closer to the beach unless you have a tent!

Excellent location

Hotel is at the perfect location. Excellent price. Great eating options around. The beach is perfect. Will definitely be staying again

Tony was very friendly and helpful during check in, and the location was perfect, especially for the reasonable lodging rates the Golden Sands offers. Perfect for budget travelers not needing a swimming pool.

Wonderful location! Couldn't be closer to the beach and the boardwalk.

Its at a great location. It is right on the boardwalk and beach. Much to do.

This property is on top of retail and ajacent to a playground on the Boardwalk. Owners seem to be trying and were very helpful. Newer beds and furniture, remodeled bathroom but rusty fridge and very old conference room chairs for seating in room. The outdoor "lobby: ot common seating area was nice. This was a Friday night and playground had adults and children playing on it till almost 1:00 AM. I would recommen staying here if you need an affordable option for a stay at Hollywood beach before leaving on a cruise or flight the next day. Probably not suitable for younger children due to all the night life noise from bars and playground directly below it.

Location was great beach right in front of hotel. Facility provided beach chairs a plus. Restaurants walking distance. Definately will be staying at the hotel again.

Great location and very clean building was a little run down but was conformable for the 3 of us that stayed there plenty of food options nearby but they are pricey.
