Lovely park my children enjoyed it nice…arcade useless

Lovely park my children enjoyed it nice on site chippy.. easy access to beach and not far from both fairs.. the only downfall is my son spent £30 of his money on a machine to win a android watch and it didn't even work.. all the manager of the arcade could offer me was a pink one or a choice of two teddies.. I didn't want that so I asked for cash back.. I only got £10 back after my son spending £30 of (his pocket money) on the machine.. think this was disgusting..

Cleanest place I’ve ever visited the previous reviews say it all. The staff are really friendly but not false! The actual site all
Of it is pristine clean not just COVID sanitised. Handy for the beach as it has direct access to the long coastal beach walk. We loved it and we stayed for 7 days loved this place!

Overall a great venue & location

Queuing in the rain to get into the cabaret room was not good. Otherwise a great stay, the receptionists, the restaurant & really all the staff were excellent, could not do enough for you.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Golden Sands

The caravan was very clean and very modern. Even though we did not use the on site facilities because of the COVID 19 there was plenty on offer. The staff were very cheerful and always happy to help. We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay there

we had a good relaxing week and enjoyed being by the seaside. We did find the caravan a little basic and small though and the fixed seating a little difficult to get comfortable but it was cheap so maybe worth highlighting this when people book. Also worth highlighting that internet is not included when you book as was expecting it to be included in the price. Good just to say it then people are fully aware what is included.

Thanks for your flexibility in letting us rebook!

We left half way through our stay as we were so disappointed. Totally misleading pictures for the Platinum caravan. Was a lot more similar to Gold, but again not even as nice as the Gold picture. 'Luxury' as described it is not. Broken fixtures, shower head broken, unstable table, rusted chairs on a dirty outside area. Absolutely disgusted that no one even asked why we were leaving halfway through a £1100 holiday we did not want to complete. Not a call or email to follow up our early departure. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU BOOK. Ask to see pictures of exactly where you are staying. If I had, I would not have booked.

Hi Dan, we are really sorry to hear this - it doesn't sound like a typical platinum unit. Could we just check - did you inform the staff of your issues so that they could try to resolve them whilst you were at the Park?

Yes. the day after we arrived I said we were not happy and asked if there was anything else we could move into and said I would be happy to pay if it was more, there wasn't anything else available. We did another couple of nites and thought what was the point. We stayed in Seabreeze 13 (unlucky for us it seems). I was told that was a platinum unit. They should be checked for broken fittings/shower/tables before guests arrive. No excuse for that at all.

Caravan was not cleaned properly

Caravan was not cleaned properly, faeces left in the toilets, caravan doors did not close properly and there wasnt enough adequate bedding for all the beds. Also couldn't check in till 5PM although check in time was 4PM. Never had a poor caravan off golden sands as I visit the park every year but this year was poor and very unexpected seens as the cleaning should of been done to a high standard due to covid.

We are really sorry to hear this Mrs Walters and can assure you that is not the standard we work to at the Park. Did you alert the staff to this matter whilst at the Park?

Hi Lisa, we apologise that you couldn't get into the club. Unfortunately due to the restrictions placed on us by the Government during this time of COVID-19, we are limited in how many people are permitted at one time. This is to enable us to adhere to social distancing and we realise that this is not ideal during peak times.

We were surprised that you felt you were too far away from the complex - the furthest our accommodation is situated is less than a 10 min leisurely walk from the facilities. Could you let us know which caravan you were staying in so that we can clear that up?
