"I recently stayed at The Golden Sands Hotel for a few days, from 22nd–25th October 2026, while back visiting Jersey, and once again I couldn’t fault the experience.
Originally from Jersey myself, although now living in the UK, I always try to get back to the island a few times a year whenever I can, whether that’s with the family or on my own to catch up with my mum, sister and friends. This particular trip was a quick visit on my own, and having stayed at The Golden Sands once before, I was more than happy to return.
Fantastic Location
The hotel is in a fantastic location, right on the beautiful St Brelade’s Bay, which has always been one of my favourite parts of the island. With the beach literally on your doorstep, Sir Winston Churchill Park directly across the road and some lovely restaurants nearby, you really couldn’t ask for a better setting.
It’s also ideally situated for public transport, with bus stops right outside the hotel and regular services, including the number 15, which takes you straight into St Helier, the island’s main town, stopping at the main bus station. From there, you can easily catch connecting buses to pretty much anywhere across the island. Perfect if you want to explore Jersey without needing a car!
Another bonus is that the hotel is only a short bus journey from the airport, making it really convenient when arriving and departing, without having to worry about travelling too far with your luggage.
All in all, a fantastic location whether you’re looking to explore the island, enjoy the beautiful beach on your doorstep or simply get around without needing a car.
Fantastic Staff and a Warm Welcome
On arrival, I was greeted by the reception staff, who were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, and that same level of friendliness continued throughout my entire stay.
I honestly can’t remember everyone’s names (apologies!), but every single member of staff I encountered was an absolute credit to the hotel. What a lovely team you have working there – you should be very proud of them!
Comfortable Room and Facilities
My room was lovely too. I had an inland-view room overlooking Sir Winston Churchill Park, which was still a really pleasant outlook and certainly nothing to complain about.
The room was comfortable, well presented and had everything I needed. I genuinely couldn’t fault the room, the facilities or anything about my stay.
I was only really using the hotel as a base this time around, as I was out and about for most of my visit catching up with people, but it was always lovely coming back to such a welcoming and comfortable place at the end of the day.
Delicious Breakfast!
I did treat myself to a cooked breakfast one morning, which I ordered through room service. It arrived lovely and hot and was absolutely delicious!
I certainly wasn’t expecting such a generous portion – there was so much food that I couldn’t even manage to finish it all! Definitely no complaints there!
My only regret is that I didn’t get the opportunity to eat in the hotel restaurant or enjoy a drink in the bar during this visit. I’m sure they’re just as lovely, so that’s something I’ll definitely have to put right next time!
Looking Forward to Returning!
All in all, another fantastic stay at The Golden Sands. A beautiful hotel in a wonderful location, with lovely facilities and, most importantly, a genuinely fantastic team of staff who make you feel so welcome.
Thank you to everyone at The Golden Sands for making my little trip back home to Jersey such a pleasant and enjoyable one. It’s always nice coming back to the island, but having somewhere so lovely to stay makes it even better.
I will definitely be returning next year when you reopen for the season. Already looking forward to it!
From a very happy and very satisfied returning guest.
Thank you once again, and see you next year! 😊"
