Golden Beach

Stayed here for 12 nights in May and absolutely loved it. Great location. Paid extra for sea view room and I agree with other reviewers that both the balcony and shower are compact but what a view. We transferred to a side sea view which was more modern with larger balcony and more spacious shower. Buffet breakfast selection was exceptional. Evening buffet selection was also very good. The service at lobby bar was first class. The staff though are what makes this hotel great - the service we received was second to none and I couldn’t praise them enough for making this a memorable holiday - it was eventful!! Georgia - you are a star, thank you.

Salle de bain très riquiqui et climatisation très bruyante. mais le pire est que j'ai été victime d'un vol dans la chambre sans être entendue par la direction qui couvre ses employés ! . Je ne conseille pas du tout cet hotel qui ne prends pas en compte les vols

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.
