| 2.0 star rating | We booked this hotel as it was a Shangri LA hotel and considering the price we paid for this hotel comparing with many other hotels in Pennang, we thought that hotel will be good. We were very disappointed as everything in the room and common areas are so dated that they look dirty . The toilet in our hotel looked dirty and stained ! They kept baby cot and many spare matresses in the corridors during our stay of 4 days and never moved these. Corridors were treated as warehouses. The view frojm our room was a building site. We travelled in MALAYSIA for 3 weeks and stayed in 6 hotels ( mainly Shangri-LA ) and never have seen a four star hotel as bad as the Golden Sands. We will never recommend this hotel to anyone. | 21 July 2009 | ||
| 3.5 star rating | When I stayed in this hotel last April 2009, I had to changed my room three times during my stay because of unhappiness about the room but this time I checked in room 553 and I stayed there all the seven nights I was booked for. | 22 November 2009 | ||
| 5.0 star rating | Clean tidy hotel with professional staff, very relaxing. | Not much info about happy hour at sigis bar, we just so happened to be there during end of stay when bar man told us, we had been having sun downers at local bar further up the beach but would have rather been in our hotel. | 14 February 2013 | |

| 5.0 star rating | An awesome experience staying at the Golden Sands, beautiful food, great service. My only complaint would be the alcohol prices are a bit high, happy hour could be at cheaper rates. | 12 August 2013 | ||
| 5.0 star rating | An amazing five nights I spent in genting. I love the beach and the water sports which were very close to the hotel. The view from the balcony to the swimming pool was charming. | The room was a little bit small. The wifi network was week. | Qarout | 24 August 2013 |
