About The Hotel:
If you don't know which Golden Sands Dubai Apartments you are booked in, since there are 11 in the same complex, you can ask at the counter of Golden Sands Dubai Apartments at the Dubai International Airport.
The Wi-Fi internet near the business centre, restaurant and pool area works well and is free of charge.
Excellent apartment facilities like a huge well-kept kitchen with a big fridge, microwave, clothes washing & drying machine, dish washing machine, crockery, cutlery and saucepans etc.
The 1st floor of Block 3 has a small clean pool, where chairs/sun beds are limited. Refreshments and meals are served here by hotel staff.
The Golden Sands Dubai aparthotel is easy walking distance from the Dubai Creek and local market areas, however, it's at the other end of Dubai city from the large international hotels and fancy tourist attractions. So depending upon your purpose here, chose wisely
A major shopping centre (Deira City Centre) and supermarket (Spinneys, across apartment 10) are within walking distance (around 500m), so it is quite economical to buy groceries and store and cook them in the self contained room.
And Some More...:
A very basic breakfast in the hotel's cafe costs AED 55. Way too expensive.
You can book tours at the tour desk at Golden Sands Dubai Apartment No.5. Order a Dubai Travel Brochure for Free.
A mini-bus departs from Apartment No.3 at 10am for the beach.
The Golden Sands serviced apartments Dubai, are clean, spacious apartments and at their price, a great value for money.
Taxis are pretty cheap, but they always seem to take the long way, so always ask someone the approximate fare to the place you're going, and then let the taxi driver know about it, before he takes you for a ride.
A taxi to Deira City Centre shopping mall can cost AED 20.

Restaurants, in-hotel and nearby:
A McDonalds is also in the vicinity of the serviced hotel apartments.
My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal at the The Samari Restaurant and Cafe, which is a mile away, has good meals. You must try the Moroccan Tea and Sheesha. Wonderful service and friendly staff.
A quiet and charming courtyard cafe, the Basta Art Cafe has the best lemon and mint drinks in Dubai. The Arabic Coffee is also worth a try. Highly recommended are the potatoes and salads. It is 0.7 miles away.
The Jhony Carinos restaurant which is half a mile away, serves you french bread, garlic and olives until your order is processed. The ambience is good and food portions are big.
Also recommended are the steaks, pasta and grilled salmon. Great value for money
