Golden Sands Beach resort - Resort hotel in Thiruvananthapuram, Kovalam - Thiruvananthapuram, India

Rooms:Below par, Sticky floors and wifi is located way far so basically it's non existent. Air conditioning in the room we stayed was noisy and in poor condition. Television were there in both rooms we booked but there's no connection. There's a refrigerator in the room we booked and that's a positive I suppose. Service: Other than the only positive being swift delivery on orders, room service won't impress you. We asked for our room to be cleaned due to sand lying here and there( we don't know how it got there.) We went out for the day and it was still there when we came back. Pool: Not available beyond early evening. Food: Overpriced without a doubt. You could order three different main courses and they'll all taste the same but with different toppings. General : I'd say overpriced due to the below par amenities provided but I guess they are enabled by the high demand of the location in general. The beach is a 200 m walk through some corridors, it's not in sight as the title beach resort might mislead.

"My experience was terrible" 1. Outside food is not allowed and sold inside the resort relatively high. 2. Strictly prohibited to consume beverages. 3. Parties are prohibited. 4. This location does not permit the use of speakers. 5. Strictly prohibited to have more than two guests in a single room. 6. The swimming pool is strictly available for use until 6 pm. (The pool is quite small.) 7. The behaviour is extremely repulsive. The question is: Then why do we need to take a resort ? to sleep?

Very nice budget friendly resort for family and friends. Very good rooms and facilities was nice. Clean and tidy rooms. There is a swimming pool which is accessible from morning 8:30 to evening 6 for every guest. Food is also available at paid rates. Parking also available. You will find a bit creepy to reach to the resort as the road is so small and only one vehicle can pass. If you are a beginner in driving, it will be hard to reach here. The resort is situated few metres away from kovalam beach, you have to walk around 5-10 minutes to reach the beach.

This place isn't located in a good location. Though beach is just 200 meters from here. You will get better hotels at this price at the beachside. Rooms are very basic, only plus is a swimming pool. Overall you can stay here if you don't get a better room nearby kovalam beach.

Average experience with Golden Sands resort. We did our tour of Kerala covering Cochin Munnar Eravikulum Idukki Thekkady Periyar Jatayu Kovalam Kumarakom houseboat Alleppey Trivandrum Poovar Eranakulam and 6 hr drive from South to North Kerala. Room was good with a balcony. However room intercom was not working and caused us major issues for us to communicate with the reception. I had to go up and down 2 floors at least 5 times. This is uncalled for. Batteries in the remotes were dead. There was no fridge in our room even though it was provided in other rooms with the same price and connection for the fridge was there. Staff was helpful and courteous. The night manager was very helpful. However kindly check your bill here. They tried to charge me extra for bottled water. The pool was nice. Floats were provided. Other than a few things that can be easily rectified it was a good stay..

They are fraud. Don't go there. After seeing video on YouTube I went with my mother and daughter and room was pre booked and payment was made earlier but when I reached there I came to know room is not available and i was shifted to another hotel which was just 3rd class. Whole night me and my family was in hell. Also I came to know that such type of activities are common here because they are fraud. Don't go there. Never pre book this place. They will take your money but will not provide you rooms. Pathetic.

Rooms are neat and clean. Rooms are very spacious. Service is very good. Overall very good experience in staying in this hotel. This hotel is very near to light house beach. Only 5 mint walking distance from hotel to beach. Bathrooms are also neat and clean. Staff is very cooperative.

Rooms are well spacy, neat and good. Receptionist Man (old man) is really hectic. Way of speaking with customer is worse not even don't know how to speak with people's.
