Overall Ratings & Reviews Golden Coast Hotel & Bungalows - All Inclusive

Like a lot of other people mentioned, the staff/activities were primarily French, but I never had any issues with communication. Everyone spoke English well enough to help with whatever I needed, and were all too happy to do whatever they could.

The hotel is found in a very good place - green area and very close to the beach. The facilities are kept accessible and organized. Had issues with the shower in the rooms ( rented two rooms) but managed to handle the issue by myself. Really like the hotel and can’t wait to visit again!!

Nothing was special. Only the food is a bit tasty and more than mediocre.

Great experience

We had a wonderful stay at Golden Coast Hotel & Bungalows! The entire experience exceeded our expectations — the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, the food was delicious and varied, and the hotel grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. It’s a perfect place for families, with everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The only suggestion we’d like to make is regarding the animation. All activities and entertainment were conducted only in French, which made it difficult for non-French-speaking guests to participate. Adding English-language options would make the experience more inclusive and enjoyable for all visitors. Thank you for a lovely vacation — we would definitely return!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It isn't a fancy resort but it gives you everything for a relaxing time by the seaside. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The food is very good and there is a variety, even so for my picky American husband. There are many drink options for the all inclusive price, including beer, wines, and well spirits. If you want a fancy or named brand drink, however, you will pay for those and it is an average price. But for the price point, it is well worth it. There are 2 pools and 2 poolsode bars. There is access to the beach area and there are also a few closeby restaurants in walking distance as well. It was definitely a nice slow paced change after several days in Athens. You can also rent bikes to take a leisurely ride along the sea. We would love to come back. The resort and the rooms were also very clean. The staff is always helpful and most speak English. We would love to come back!!!

We booked this location blindly, looking for somewhere convenient to get to from Athens airport. We were truly delighted. This place has everything we could need, copious amounts of free parking, on site restaurants, pools, bars, a well-stocked shop, and comfortable and clean accommodation, all right next to the beach. The area around the resort is a little sparse but some good places to grab a coffee and a spot of lunch along the beach front. The staff were fantastic and most of the facilities are new, making this a sparkling oasis in the Marathon area. Wouldn’t hesitate to return and already planning our next visit.

ALL staff were very friendly and most helpful. Would live to return again in the future. Food was of a good range, breakfast, lunch and dinner and the all inclusive was great. A large, clean resort with several pools and seating areas positioned around the resort with a beach outside the complex with umbrellas.

Beautiful and scenic. The room decor could use an update. The dinner buffet was underwhelming.

The resort was very nice, the property was safe for children and the food was very good. The rooms are not very big and also, the bathroom is quite small. No slippers and no bathrobe was found in the room. But, in general, the hotel was a very good one.

Very friendly staff. We had a great time visiting

Customer service: poor We did not feel welcomed at the resort with the exception of a few dining staff -Anastasia,Helen and one other (blonde short hair). It seems the staff were not welcoming of ethnically diverse Americans . The Olympia dining Lead staff/ supervisor was outright rude to my husband on one occasion . He also never greeted us with a smile as he did with other guests. We saw him daily for meals and this is the face I'll remember of my unpleasant Greek experience. We encountered two very unpleasant experiences where we were treated with disrespect and condescension while at the resort and from there we were met with daily unpleasant racially based encounters while exploring nearby businesses. We found it very difficult to enjoy this vacation. Quality of Food:fair Room comfort: poor/ loud noises, lots of insects in room stains on sheets and mattress no mattress cover or fitted sheets (housekeeping friendly) Activities: limited and not as advertised in all inclusive rate, staff led activities are all facilitated in French only and unable to participate due to language differences. Definitely not worth a $4000 Vacation but so glad we did not book an extended stay as originally planned . We will not likely return to Greece and if ever we will choose to visit Greece in the future we will definitely research which city is most welcoming of brown biracial individuals and interracial couples.

The resort itself was quite nice (not sure I would say 4 stars). Main building looked recently refurbished. Bungalow rooms, where we stayed, were dated but comfortable enough. The staff were very good, and (we stayed early in the season) always plenty of available loungers on the beach, around the pool and seating in common areas. The main issue for us was the food and drink. It was very low quality and we barely ate. The two restaurants both had exactly the same food every day (the website implies they offer different choices) and the 'snacks from the pool bar' were just leftovers from main meal times - we were expecting maybe a poolside grill where hot food could be ordered. The main dining rooms/buffets were terrible. Perhaps because we are British and this resort is aimed at the French market - while I'm not saying that we expected burgers and chips, there was little that appealed - lots of offal, and the majority of dishes were cheap meat in very greasy sauces. There wasn't a great deal of choice and it felt very school-canteen (and the hotel hosted lots of school/youth football team trips, so avoid if that isn't your thing!). The all-inclusive drinks (sodas and juices) both in the self serve areas and at the bars were not calibrated properly (i.e. concentrate to water ratio) and so were very syrupy and the fruit juices tasted like pure concentrate. Pools freezing - no one could go in despite hot weather and all very deep - not suitable for young kids.

Really lovely stay and very friendly staff - thank you

The hotel lobby was modern but the room was dated. It was clean and comfortable though. The pool was maintained but it was too cold to swim. I enjoyed my stay.

Nice size villa for a family. Rooms a little dated but ok. Is off the beaten track and away from the village so a car is essential. Outside area needs a tidy and there are noisy dogs on a farm across the road which my children found a little intimidating. Had a lovely walk into Galaxidi though taxi services so had to walk back too which was fine for us. Pool not heated but was not expecting it to be so out of season is cold but we still used it

We had a wonderful stay.

Didn't like the food, was not tasty and the variety was no good. Lack of entertainment, the beach was not clean and had rocks in the sea, so our feet would be sore stepping into the water. Bed was very uncomfortable and the double was 2 single beds joined together & sheets were not changed over 4 days, most of the bar staff were rude apart from a few. Would not stay here again.

Very nice venue, with 3 swimming pools 2 restaurants and many sports activities available including water sports
