Golden Strand resort sits between two expensive high-rise hotels: Trump International and Aqualina. This five-story older hotel with studios up to two-bedrooms is complete for the vacationer. The rooms are dated, and they probably need attention, but they are clean. Cost to stay there is most likely one-third the cost one would pay for Trump or Acqualina. All units have... More

I have stayed here for 15 years as my in-laws own timeshare weeks. I have used their unit, which is a great unit in one of the newer buildings, and I have traded my own time share points and rented in other years, and occasionally we have ended up in the original building which is clean and okay, but certainly...

I stayed at the Golden Strand over thanksgiving holiday, and enjoyed it thoroughly. While it is not a high end resort like Trump Tower or Aqualina, I really felt like family by the end of the week. The resort staff are wonderful, all very friendly and helpful. The resort is extremely clean, including the rooms themselves, as well as the... More

If your not going to stay in South Beach then Sunny Isles Beach is a very good location to access the Miami area. Plenty of restaurants and services in the immediate area surrounding the Golden Strand Resort. As stated the pool and beach is a plus. The kitchen, living room and bedroom in the unit I stayed in was furnished... More

My husband and I live about 2 hours north of the Golden Strand, on the Treasure Coast. We wanted an affordable room on North Miami Beach for three nights to enjoy some R&R, go to a Dolphin game, and eat some authentic Cuban food. We stayed November 11-14, 2011. I thought I had thoroughly researched the various options and ended... More

I stayed at The Golden Strand for business and will be back with my family. I found the beach and pool areas to be a highlight of this resort. The rooms although they do need some updating are clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. I noticed in other reviews people complain of parking and other fees... More

The beach is beautiful, but the windows leaked in the rain and the furnitue was dated. Also charged an amenity fee of 10 per day and there were no amenities to speak of. It was a good trip, but we would look to stay somewhere else in the future. More

Finding a timeshare location close to Miami City is not easy. This one is an exception, with large living and bedroom, big kitchen, balcony etc. The bathroom could be bigger, but has everything you need. The italian restaurant on the groundfloor is inexpensive and has excellent food. Many other good restaurants are within walking distance, supermarket and deli with fresh... More

Okay call me picky but when I go to a timeshare resort I don't expect to be nickel and dimed to death with annoying little fees. And this is a timeshare, not a regular hotel so why all the little annoying fees? I usually travel in timeshares to avoid all this pettiness but unfortunately here at Golden strand you won't... More
