please ensure you have research this fully before booking as confusing. Booked for Golden sands ( great reviews trip advisor)Pictures not true as when you arrive it is the Agilia hotel (see awful reviews trip advisor) and awful it is. We are not complainers see previous reviews but this hotel is bad and definitely not 5 star. All inclusive it is not. fir example had to pay for sunbeds
, beach towels, icecreams for children, only wine and beer ckassed as inclusive. Hotel management is uncontactable we spoke to others who had been trying to get a resopnse for 10 days or more. Sadly they could not afford to move luckily we could. Apparently we were not alone . We
 voted with our feet and moved to another hotel in Rhethymon Numreous englush couples booked out to move hotels on the same day as us.  Pease please be aware. Good end to sad review we booked into a lovely hotel and are now enjoying our holiday.

BEWARE

High level of hospitality by staff of the hotel. It is very close to the beach, around 400-500 meters. Rooms are cleaned every day!!! A big apartments with a big toilet, kitchen and two rooms with a balcony. Also there is a swimming pool in the garden with terrace with a bar in the hotel! Free wifi.

Excellent apartments!!!

Excellent... The best service and very good care..
 
I think the best hotel I have visited in recent years...excellent cuisine with pleasant traditional Greek flavors and sometimes desserts.really hospitable environment without supposedly...

The best of creta

Great place from check in to food. The staff are amazing 
Receptionist is just so on the ball and kind. 
Could not find a fault. Beach so close, bus to town outside. Loads of nice walks, nice tavernas close by. 
Spacious apartment good supermarket next door
We will be back

What service! Lovely staff and property

Just got back from a cracking week and this lovely little resort.  Location is fabulous - about 300m from a superb beach with beach bars and plenty of sunbeds. There's great access to Chania by foot [about 3km] alongside the sea, by regular cheap bus or road for those with a hire car [plenty of free parking too].
The apartments are modern, spotlessly clean and  well maintained.  The bed is huge and very comfortable. The bathroom is good too. Cooking facilities are limited to a 2 ring hob and a couple of pots/pans but prices at the pool bar and restaurant are good with generous portions and very friendly staff.  Free WiFi was especially good with no limit on the number of devices you could connect and good speed too, 
The pool is well maintained [no missing tiles/sharp edges], there are loads of comfortable sunbeds and the design of the complex means good shelter from the prevailing North wind on windy days [We were there in mid October] and good exposure to the sun.  There are citrus and other trees to provide shade when needed in the central gardens.   Happy hour at the bar from 4 - 5pm too.
I can't think how anybody could think of this place as a 2 star - it's better than several 3 star places we've stayed at in the Canary Islands.  I'd give it 3 1/2 stars - but I was very happy to only have to pay the 2* tourist tax of 0.50€ a room per night [Its 4€ at a 5 *]
Many thanks all at Golden Sand for a most enjoyable thoroughly relaxing week.

Very much better than its 'stars' would suggest

First time in Crete traveling as a family of 4 with teenagers. Unsure of what to expect but the golden sand suites was a very pleasant surprise. The apartment was spacious and clean. The pictures are accurate. They were fully equipped. The staff was friendly and even though we did not have breakfast, they let us take bowls and sugar for cereals, which were the only things missing. The pool was great and we loved that there was grass around, plus it wasn’t  facing the street (private to guests only). Transats were always available. The restaurant was also nice; we tried it one evening after returning from Balos very late and were not disappointed: simple but tasty and not expensive. The beaches around are pretty, the closest is typical with a few waves, but you can choose from the different criques: we tried one each day and it was fun to compare. Apart from the beach there is nothing to see in the neighbourhood so the setting of the hotel was very good (closed to the street). I highly recommend, excellent value. Only small negative was the internet working mostly near the pool. 

Very nice apartments and grounds

Very nice apartments, large with 2 rooms and balcony, there are one big bed in one rooms and another 2 small beds in other room
There is a kitchen in one room with all you need
The complex has 2 buildings, each building has pool
Near the complex there is a good beach ( 2 minutes ), very good for children
Breakfast is simple but good and enough
Is a very nice complex and recomand this accomodation


Very nice apartments

really disappointed, we had booked a etage room but when we arrived all etage room was occupied, insed we get a room with worst balcony place ever. Spoil the entire stay and the children are so disappointed

not what we booked

Nice nice staff. We were sittning near the pool.
Very tasty food. Toast, chicken nuggets, pasta and salad. Nice price, Euro 44 (for Family 1, 5 person)
They make a table for us all 9 quick,
Good watermelon to the note.

Dinner 

A very nice hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful, cleaning staff are swift and efficient and nice.

Rooms were spacious and clean, good beds. Airconditioning was at an extra cost, but in june we didn't need this. I can imagine one would gladly want to pay for this. 

Breakfast is good, fresh and sufficient in quantity, quality and variety with, again, friendly and helpful staff.

The pool with poolbar and restaurant is very nice. Plenty of shade; trees and umbrellas. Good food in the evening at very nice prices.

The beach is at less than ten minutes walking distance, Chania itself a little less than one hour to the outskirts, just over an hour to the Old Venetian Port. Or you can buy a busticket at the local supermarket and for 1.2€ they drive you right into the centre of the town. 

Very friendly towards elderly people,  children, wheelchairs, special needs..

I would come back to this hotel for a next visit.
