Radisson Blu Resort and Spa Golden Sands

Colm & Joann

We stayed for 7 nights and had a wonderful experience. We were served by the lovely Elvie, and we later discovered that we are actually related! She was very polite, accommodating, approachable, and always full of smiles for everyone. Even when she was busy, she never failed to greet guests with a warm smile. And I’m not saying this just because we’re related—her service was truly excellent. Our bedroom had a beautiful sea view, which made our stay even more special. The hotel is perfectly located right in front of the sea, near the walking trail along the seafront—ideal for relaxing walks. The restaurants served lovely food, especially at Aglolio Restaurant and Moka Bar, both with a perfect ambience. There is also a café/bar near the beach, and Apple Eye Restaurant is less than a 10-minute walk away, serving delicious food and drinks. Special mention to Laarni and Mario at Moka Bar, and Alyssa at Aglolio for their great service and also Gerard. Highly recommended, and we would definitely love to come back!

Our weekend stays at this hotel are always unforgettable thanks to the incredible staff who truly make us feel at home. My husband, my baby girl Mimi, and I are always so happy and cared for every time we visit. A special thank-you to Manager Anket for always ensuring our stay is perfect, and to the lovely receptionists Elvie and Pinky, who greet us with such warmth. Sandeep from breakfast at Flavours went above and beyond — helping brining us food to the table while I juggled our little one, and making sure we had everything we needed. Daniel from maintenance was so kind and quickly fixed our TV with ease. And the amazing team at Mokka — Aminul, Sweetson and the wonderful girls — were incredibly accommodating and kept our daughter entertained; she absolutely adored them. Their burgers are also incredible — truly some of the tastiest we’ve had. Kudos to the chef! And of course Mr Henri, the one and only — a true gentleman with a warm heart. Whether we meet him in the lobby or are welcomed by him at breakfast, it is always such a joy to see him and be greeted by him. Every visit is an incredible experience filled with comfort, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The beautiful stay, the thoughtful service, and the wonderful people are the reason we keep coming back — for anniversaries, birthdays, or simply when we need a little escape. Truly a place full of heart.

This hotel offers a commendable experience, characterized by picturesque views and exceptional service. The primary areas for improvement pertain to the comfort of the bed cushions and the functionality of the shower. Specifically, the shower head was fixed, preventing adjustment and making it difficult to avoid wetting one's hair. Nevertheless, the overall experience warrants a five-star rating.

Marvellous hotel! Staff were wonderful and very friendly, breakfast was amazing with a fab selection to look forward to every day. The restaurants offered a super range of dishes and each were absolutely delicious. Rooms were lovely and the view of the sea was incredible!

Bottom line: This is not a 5-star establishment, as there are too many items that fall short of expectations. Good things: - very nicely kept reception and communal areas - very wide selection at breakfast in the restaurant - Nice views from the sea view rooms - The majority of the staff are very friendly, although some of them look flustered and overworked. Inconsistent / so-so things: - rooms and corridors are overdue refurbishment. Scuffs, previous paint repairs, stained carpets and so on. This is in contrast with the reception area as previously mentioned. Our balcony light was full of dead flies and the bulb was pretty much out. Little touches like this are important. - the hotel is an absolute maze when you are first there, and it took us a very long time to find the spa / pool area for the first time. - housekeeping is inconsistent. Some days we got the correct number of towels, some days we didn't. One day our bin wasn't emptied, nor were the cups or glasses replaced. But they made the bed up. Very strange. - the spa / pool area especially the changing rooms are starting to become tired and neglected. Water pooling in the changing room floor, shower areas clearly not being cleaned regularly, and missing fixings on things like lockers, or missing hooks in shower cubicles etc. Not a five star experience. The pool area itself was generally quite clean however. Bad things: - we felt we were constantly having to find things ourselves / ask for things at breakfast that should already be present, or being picked up by the staff. I lost count of the number of times there was no spoon present on a place setting - this is absolutely basic for any catering establishment. Same goes for things like coffee machines being allowed to run out of beans. Not a massive deal, but indicates a chaotic and badly managed restaurant, and this was in low season. - the spa / pool area seems to be deserted of any staff from afternoon onwards. In the male changing room, the hourly cleaning sheet had not been signed since 1pm, when I had used it at around 9pm. Sometimes the dirty towel trolley was stacked full, with no clean towels available. Why would we want to risk paying for any treatments if this is the level of service experienced in the first instance? - the bedding and pillows feel like they haven't been updated in a very long time. Overly soft and sinking mattress and pillows that have no support. Overall, I can't recommend this property to anyone, nor are we likely to return, as it simply doesn't deliver the experience expected from a hotel of this calibre.
