Everything was just seamless, completely the best experience. The manager went out of his way to help us with everything. Overlooks ocean on the nice patio and right on the board walk with lots of places to eat, shopping, nice beach. We'll maintained area. It is older place but very very clean and price is right and worth it.

Our stay at the Golden Sand was very nice. The location is right in the heart of the Broadwalk with many options within walking distance.
We got the king oceanfront room which looked directly over the Broadwalk, beach and the Atlantic Ocean which was awesome.
Tony and staff were great to work with. He got us checked in early, we got a parking spot and then it was time to enjoy the amenities of the Golden Sand and the Hollywood beach area.

I was in 107 which was labeled as a twin studio but was a full size bed. Bed was comfortable, temperature good, ver clean, older place. Excellent terrace. That’s where I spent my time in addition to beach & boardwalk. Has beach chairs, towels & boogie boards. Could hear things at night but you’re on the boardwalk so I expected that & it didn’t bother me. Great for price.

Only 2 rooms have an ocean view but their is a shared balcony area where everyone can enjoy the beautiful beach view. There is a locked gate at the main entrance which is great for safety. Do not bring big bags as you must walk up an inclined narrow staircase. The room was super clean, the beds were comfortable and the water was hot, overall wonderful. If you are planning on cooking there is not much in the kitchen but who cooks with so many good restaurants.

The room itself was perfect—very clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet considering how busy the area is. I slept great, and the shower was excellent.

There were also some thoughtful little touches that weren’t necessary but were appreciated (like big coffee cups!).

The location couldn’t be better. I won't stay anywhere else when I come to Hollywood!

This place ticks all the boxes, and then some! The staff was exceedingly friendly and accommodating when some airline/weather snafus presented some last minute arrival issues. Customer service at Golden Sand is top notch! Thanks so much, Tony!

The room is clean and well maintained and had everything needed for a great stay.

The oceanfront room has a great view of the beach. Yes, there is some music heard from a downstairs restaurant, but it ends promptly at 11. It did not present any inconvenience and I'd happily stay here again.

The room was great, Tony was on the ball like a boss on everything:-) took care of everything and I was impressed. The good thing that I did like was it was a locked gate to enter, so there was good security on that.

I have to mention as I was unaware and may not have noticed when I booked that parking is $25 a day.

I have no regrets.

Bonus was there is no front desk. There is a number you call and he communicated by phone and by text. So basically, checking in was almost instant. Though you still have to wait for your room to be ready which was at 2 pm for me.

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.

Great area. Only issue is it's a loud beach and the music is inescapable. That is just a preference. We liked it most of the time but it was from 11am to 12am. It was a bit much for us. Maybe 20 years ago would would have loved it but now our yesterdays are about even with our tomorrows.

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!

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!

Perfect location on the beach and within walking distance of many restaurants, bars and shopping. Owner was friendly and responded quickly to messages. Room was clean but directly above restaurant who played music extremely loud until 2:00am every night. The live music was done around midnight, which was good but then they played the radio so loud the bed shook upstairs. Would never stay in room 201 again but might try a room on the back of building.

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.

We came back here again because of the good value and great location. Tony the manager on call is awesome, super nice and always answers his phone. The cleaning girl was also so friendly always smiling and accommodating. Some information: no stove, toaster or toaster oven... just a microwave and coffee maker therefore just utensils in the kitchen no pots or pans which was fine for us. There was some coffee and filters in the cabinet but we always bring out own anyway. The 3/4 size fridge with separate freezer was the perfect size for us. Bed was more comfortable than the last time we stayed here a few years ago. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here once again and will be back soon. Thanks

I had to pay $45 for 1 night parking and walk 1/2 mile back to the BNB. Plus my elderly parents, with walker's, had to traverse 2 flights of stairs that were slick. We couldn't drive anywhere else because we'd have to pay the parking again. None of this was told to us before we booked it and we'd called the Holiday Inn direct number and got VRBO instead. I wasn't happy about it but we were running from a hurricane so what was I going to do? I had to protect my parents. At least they were kind enough to let us check in early and once was contacted by the manager he was very quick to respond. I will say though that those stairs are treacherous. I fell on them and busted my knee and fractured my foot. It's just lucky for them that my parents didn't fall and get hurt. I would have been unable to be reasonable.

The location of the hotel is great. The deck of the hotel has an amazing view of the water and the beaches are very clean.

Parking is $20 per night, cash, to park but well worth it, otherwise there isn’t public parking close by to park.

The hotel is older and definitely needs to be updated. The bed is not verycomfortable and the curtains don’t close all the way. Not very amenities, no ice machine. However, The owner was very responsive when I needed more towels, or had questions. It’s a decent spot if you want an ocean view at a good price.
