Good afternoon!

I would like to share my review about the Golden Beach Club hotel.
Having the experience of family vacations of previous years (2 adults and a child of 6 years old), we were looking for a new bungalow-type hotel.
I wanted smaller neighbors and to be quieter - we are not such lovers of loud entertainment. For ourselves on vacation, we always find the best options for relaxation ourselves, practically not paying attention to animation, both for adults and for children.
When choosing a hotel, I was seduced by beautiful landscapes, lush greenery, the presence of water slides and a favorite location - it was Side with its constant breeze and almost no permanent perspiration from the heat.

We arrived early in the morning (the flight from Kyiv was at 4 am). We are waiting for the settlement. Went for breakfast and around the area. It seems that everything is beautiful - if only to settle down, change clothes and go to the beach. At the reception about 11 they report that there are no standard rooms in Golden Beach (namely 2 + 1), we will settle you in the Golden Coast (4-storey buildings, seemingly unremarkable).
These are 2 hotels on a practically common territory, one owner. We refuse, we say that we will wait for a room in the chosen hotel. After a while, they offer a room in something like a barrack - a long gut, divided by a wall and tiny balconies, on the reverse side of the dungeon. We start to get nervous, we call the administrator. He also reports that there are no standard rooms and offers to show a room in an already proposed hotel. Since we are tired and want to stay somewhere, we go to look.
In general, the room is good, a wide double bed, a bed for a child, a plasma panel on the wall, a bathroom with a good repair and appliances, a view from the balcony to the sea. We are settling in.
We can say that the rest was a success: the sea is good, but a bit small - perhaps those who cannot swim or with small children will like it. The water is clean. Several pools - active and relaxing. 11 slides - rolled and enjoyed.
The food is good: fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, pizza, soups - who needs what.
Vacationers from everywhere - Germans, French, Dutch, Belgians, Turks, Russians and our Ukrainian brothers. There are few of us - it's good for us. There were no scandals, drunkenness, screams and fights. Mostly the audience is families with children.
After a while, they tried to talk again with the administrator about moving to a bungalow, because with all the good things, there was still a residue that they didn’t get exactly what they expected. But the room was released somewhere in the middle of our vacation, and the room also had to be looked at - the places were both good and not very good, and we stayed in Costa.
The only negative is that we didn't go to bed very late - 10:00-11:00, and the noise from the evening programs was until 12:00, even the closed balcony doors didn't save us. Although over time we got used to it. Our people can deal with everything.

Another privilege in Costa was a special bracelet that we carried in our pocket, since these marks of vacationers are infuriating in principle. These bracelets gave the right to use the services of the Golden Beach Hotel. Honestly, I have never used it - only my husband went to the gym, because in Kostya the gym was being repaired. It was in the hall that Ukrainian animators from Odessa, Simferopol and other cities said that ours are mainly settled in the Coast - because there are few standard rooms and they are not kept account. And foreign tourists are fastidious - they pay for what they want to get - they can’t sell a neighboring hotel, even with a better repair. And our people agree on everything.
So if you are going to live in a bungalow at the Golden Beach hotel in the amount of 2 adults and a child in a standard room, be prepared to be placed in another, albeit a good hotel, but still a little sediment that you got not what you chose and what you paid for will remain.
Have a good holiday everyone!
