My family and I have stayed at the Golden Sands Hotel since I was old enough to swim. I have had alot of fond memories staying at the Golden Sands Hotel. It is in a very nice location, and basically not far to walk any where else you would like to go. And now having my own family , I... more

We stayed May 7-9 2008. Lovely weather. Not crowded. Stayed in the "older" of the two buildings (which is still fairly new!). Traveled with my mom, husband, 2 kids ages 2 and 7. The positives : 1.

The Golden Sands is a nice place to stay. We stayed in the tower building. Our room had a king size bed, couch, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron, and a private balcony over looking the beach. Also, had free High-Speed Internet that I did not know about until I got to the room. The room and bathroom was large and... more

Rooms seem a little bigger in the new tower, but we like the view better in the other building. They both have great ocean front views but the views in the older building you can see... more

My family stayed at the Golden Sands on Carolina Beach this past weekend. It was wonderful! Because we were traveling a distance by car, it was late when we arrived.

Our family went in March and totally loved it. The rooms were clean! The staff was extremly friendly and helpful and the bar was great! Because it was cold we spent a lot of time at the pool. We have 3 small kiddos who had a fantastic time. I would reccomend it to anyone! more

My family and I just returned from a four night stay at the Golden Sands. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the private balcony overlooking the ocean was wonderful. If we return to Carolina Beach we will definitely stay at this hotel. A Trip Advisor Member Tennessee more

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights the last week of July 2006. We stayed in the new north building that opened in 2004. The room was clean, well-maintained and comfortable. There is a restaurant, the Ocean Grill, located between the north and south buildings, along with the Tiki Bar, located on the remains of the old Center Pier.... more

We stayed for a weekend in 2004; and were really disappointed. I had heard this was a great hotel, but wasn't impressed. The room was oceanfront, but so small and cramped. One of the big reasons we selected the Golden Sands was the indoor pool, that I inquired about when making reservations. When we arrived, the pool was closed, "wating... more
