Hotel Golden Sands (Oistins, Barbados)

Located just steps from the beach, and featuring its own beach club right on the sand, Hotel Golden Sands Hotel is a smaller modern property offering classical style accommodation. The rooms are newly renovated and are decorated in a charmingly casual island style. Each features en-suite bathroom, small kitchenette, in room safe, telephone and private balcony with views. Reception is open 24 hours and can assist with laundry and local information. Hotel Golden Sands star attraction is certainly its lovely pool area, compact, but perfectly formed and a great place to enjoy the good life, poolside. The Ixoria Restaurant has a terrific outdoor terrace and specialises in serving local Bajan cuisine, including the famous “pudding and souse” at the weekends. The beach just across the road is the main attraction, but guests travelling further afield will find bustling Bridgetown approximately 7.5 miles away.
