Golden Beach

Ottimo albergo. Posizione fantastica. Personale estremamente cordiale e disponibile. Il cibo del ristorante, i posti a sedere e il servizio erano eccellenti. Personale del bar, grazie per il tuo tocco personale e il tuo servizio, ti auguro il meglio. Splendido hotel multinazionale per famiglie. Ping pong e biliardo gratuiti per allontanarsi dal sole di mezzogiorno. Il personale della reception era eccezionale e attento. Il direttore del ristorante controlla sempre, dormi mai? Che bella vacanza abbiamo trascorso. Grazie.

I just got back from staying at Golden Beach. First impressions were ok but I was taken aback by the 10 euro per night tax other fees which i did not wish to pay were £4 euro pr night safe etc Most important the room was clean and I was grateful for the fridge which had water and sandwich supplied (i arrived late from the airport). The shower was tiny so if you are a larger person you may struggle to use it. Some toiletries were provided, hair dryer and kettle were useful. It was nice to have breakfast at the sister hotel Akasha- I could see the superior quality- food was plentiful and the facilities looked good. On the other days at Golden beach breackfast and dinner were mediocre at best, there was not much selection however you can find something to eat if you arent too fussy. Staff were generally helpful, there was one lady named Eva who was an angel, she was so kind and attentive- I always looked forward to seeing her every day. I did not use any of the facilities as I was out most of the day on various excursions inc Hot air baloon, trips to Heraklion, Chania etc. In the evening i would sometimes eat out and go for drinks in the local bars. There is plenty to do outside so you do not need to stay in the hotel grounds. The beach is across the road, shops restaurants along the mainstrip. As it was the start of the season it was relatively quiet which I appreciated. Overall Golden Beach is an adequate hotel for using as a base to explore Hersonnosis and the wider Crete area.

Jet2 gave this 4stars - it’s 2 at best: 1* for location step out back, food, bars and beach steps away, out front food, bars and shopping. 1 * for staff very friendly They also should have mentioned NOT disabled friendly, 2 lifts neither go to all levels without having to deal long walks through corridors with stairs, very difficult for someone walking with crutches Rooms basic, clean Hot food wasn’t hot, as soon as you walked away from the heat lamps it was tepid at best. For what we paid it was value for money, perfect if your looking for somewhere to lay our head at night, and go off exploring in the night, if you have mobility issues this is not the hotel for you.
