    Visited this park in October 2009. It's not the worst caravan park i've been to, but no where near the best. We were given a 3 bedroom caravan instead of a 2 bedroom so that was good. But when we opened one of the doors it came off, the cleaners had obviously not told anyone it was broken, called reception though and they came straight away to fix it. One of the caravan doors wouldn't lock, was unlocked when we got here, another thing the cleaners must not have mentioned.

    The timings printed o ...

    *MABLETHORPE*

    Nice beach, shops, park & boating lake all at the heart of mablethorpe & a general seeside feel to it.

    *Holiday*
    I Have just come back from a SEP 09 Sun holiday at mablethorpe Haven Golden Sands Fri to Mon & upgraded from standard to a superior at £24 & paid for linen £14.

    *CARAVAN*
    The caravan was in a good location for the entertainment area, but I was very dissapointed about the standard of the caravan, the TV was basic with a 'V' bad signal & the sofa had stain m ...

    Quite simply- the worse place i have ever stayed!
    To call Golden Sands a dump would be an insult! Infested with flies and wasps due to an inabilty to clean, rude and unhepful staff and 5th rate accomodation- we arrived to a room that " was forgot to be cleaned".

    Overpriced stores, clammy entertainment rooms, dated rides.

    Close your eyes- picture your caravan in the middle of a sewage work, surrounded by rude, unhelpful people, 1000s of flies and wasps and pay through the nose for everything yo ...

    We spent 5 days at Haven Holidays, Golden Sands last week and all i can say is thank god we took our own accommodation at least we knew that was clean.

    Where to start the touring site was filthy a million wasps it seemed like cause bins were constantly full, the toilets and shower blocks were disgusting i spoke to 1 woman who hadn't showered all week because she would rather stay dirty than wash in them can't really say i blame her either. There was 1 toilet block that was slightly better than ...

    We went to golden sands myself my wife and the kids in late July and I must say this what a disgusting place. The swimming pool changing rooms were disgusting. Nothing was free, the bars were disgusting, the caravan was filthy, the ball pool was way to hot, there was no air conditioning.

    As for the staff I thought they were quite helpful, the young man working in the ballpool was helpful and polite, the security staff were extremely helpful especially the grounds staff as they assisted us with ...

    Just a quick review, to re-iterate the other reviews on this site. I've been home for 2 hours now since getting back from Haven Golden Showers, I mean Sands! And I feel so strongly that no one else (with any sense of personal standards) should go there, that I decided to right this straight away.

    Every time I clear dog poo's from the garden I will think of Golden Sands, due to the smell. Let me run you through some of the disappointments.

    We booked Haven Holidays at Golden Sands, three caravans for our family, two standard plus and one prestige. The two standard plus were passable to some extent (one had to have the deep cleaning team in to clean smelly carpets) but the prestige caravan was so disappointing. It hadn't been cleaned properly (if at all) as old food was left in cupboards, dirty glass on floor - flat screen television and dvd missing etc. etc.

    On site facilities - swimming pool too much chlorine and dirty changing ...

    We have just returned from a week at Golden Sands and with it being our first family holiday we decided to stay in a platinum caravan. After reading plenty of horror stories on sites like this we weren't expecting much but thought that the whole experience was good.
    Admittedly the Pool is a little bit messy and the falcon bar could do with a bit of TLC but all the staff were very helpful and polite, they weren't too pushy selling things and the things you could buy were quite reasonably priced. ...

    I have been to a number of Haven sights as a child this was the first time for my wife and to kids,Goldens sands is basically a dump, we were suppose to be in the top rated caravans, the caravan was not clean, the park is to small for the size of people in it, the swimming pool changing rooms are disgusting and it has really put me off of going to haven again

    We arrived at the Golden Sands site for the may day bank holiday weekend having travelled for 5 hours. On our arrival we went to reception to book in. We were told our standard accommodation was not yet ready. But if we wanted we could upgrade to a 4 star 3 bed room caravan. We paid the money and got the keys expecting a pretty nice caravan. All that i can say is i would hate to see the standard caravan. The van itself was not too bad but the kitchen was ill equipped the grill didnt work prope ...

    We went to Golden sands for a weekend break through the Sun newspaper and when we got back i needed the same time to recover, Though we paid very little we got very little, grubby accomodation, inadequate caravan facilities, dirty caravan the list is endless, and what really rubs it in is the letter we recieved asking if there was anything that wasnt right on our return. After a two page letter no reply from haven but that was all i expected.
    This site gives British holidays a really poor name. ...

    I often go to Primrose Valley which is a haven site and we love it, clean and really nice but I thought Golden Sands would be up to the same standard but it wasn't, by a long way

    We arrived at Golden Sands on 16th Aug 2008. It was disappointing to say the least from the start. Our main issue was with the standard of accommodation. We had brought our dog with us and feel we were put in sub-standard accommodation. Dirty, damaged, smelly, worn, not fully equipped. We had a series of complaints, which we reported. Some were dealt with and some not. We are currently awaiting a reply from head office.

On signs just a unused building drove round for a bit & finally had to ask people passing by where do you go to get your pitch, finally got to reception where a chap whisked my wife off to a c ...

    I booked the holiday for me and my friend and 3 kids cost 94.00 for 3 nights in MY caravan on the touring part, we turned up struggled with awning the warden never help just looked at us, we were 2 mile from complex, looked as if they had purchased a field from a farmer and thought about putting tourers on it, I have never heard such bad language in my life, I thought the showers and toilets were terrible. Left after 2 nights, couldn't stand any more. WOULD NOT GO BACK TO HAVEN AT ALL.

    We arrived at our Haven Holiday at Golden Sands on Saturday afternoon at 3pm and left early the following morning. Had the children not been so tired after a long drive we would have left soon after arrival. While we were there I felt the entire park looked dirty, felt overcrowded, appeared smelly at places and had a vast array of slot machines which had to be negotiated to get to the "entertainment" complex to the bouncy castle and trampolines. I thought the "entertainment" bars stank of stale ...
