For a number of years, my daughter and her 2 children stayed at the Golden Sands Motel. The family run business is invested in making you feel at home. Now, my whole family stays at this motel. I get 3 rooms side by side with me in the middle with a small kitchen area. The rooms may have older funiiture... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Golden Sands in 2000 and again in July 2012. Both times we have enjoyed our stay. The motel is a family-run business and they treat their guests as family too. The rooms were very clean. Every day are room was cleaned and restocked with fresh towels. The motel also has an outdoor... More

My sister and I decided at the last minute to go to Virginia Beach. Golden Sands had been recommended to us and I'm glad we stayed there. The motel is getting old but the rooms are clean and they had a refrigerator and microwave. The motel is directly across from the beach, which was very convenient. They have an average... More

We stopped in VA Beach on the way home from a great week in Myrtle Beach and what a great "cap" to a great vacation. I comparison shopped and they had the best rates. While the rooms are not "5-Star" plush they are clean, comfortable and good value for the money. I had my wife, my tow teenage girls and... More

I live 35 miles from this hotel and I reserved this motel to do the Rock and Roll Marathon. It was a 2 day minimum at $150 a night (can you say price gouge). I didn't stay the first night (only needed one night for the night befor the 1/2 marathon). We checked in at around 5 pm with me... More

We just returned from a last minute getaway weekend at Golden Sands. We stopped by several hotels looking for a room. We decided to go to Va. Beach very last minute and didn't RSVP. Other hotels were outrageous in their room rates. We arrived at their property and got a room on the 5th floor with an OCEANVIEW for $130... More

My husband and I just returned from 4 days/3 nights in Virginia Beach at the Golden Sands Motel. We were originally going to just drive down in hopes of finding a hotel but I found Golden Sands, gave them a call and the prices were unbeatable compared to those I had previously called for rates. Not only were the staff... More

This is the only hotel I have stayed at in Virginia Beach, so I cannot compare its value to others. I paid $140 + taxes on 5 July and thought that is not good value, compared to the other hotels I stayed in on this trip. While the hotel was adequate and everything worked, it looked a bit tired and... More

I stayed at the Golden Sands for two concurrent weekends and found it to be a nice little motel with a great staff. The ladies at the front desk are very accomodating and friendly (and seem to have a good memory for faces). I stayed in the same room both weekends, because I could park my motorcycle right outside the... More
