Goldkist Beach Resort

Please do not… I repeat do not waste your money booking the chalet here, it’s dirty and the staffs are so rude. My friends and I had our gathering here and the bbq pit is not provided, it cost $ 23. No place to sit or a table to put your food? Well, it cost $ 19 to rent it. The bed is uncomfortable and dirty. If you decided you want to check out earlier, before 10.30am you will have to clean your room n the small litters that’s all over the place, I agree we do have to clear up but they expect full area cleaning or u have to wait for the cleaner to report to work n clean for you which is about 10.30am

For lack of a better place to house almost 60 people for my 21^st birthday a couple of years back, I chose to have a party at a local chalet style resort. But being born 4 days after Christmas meant that almost every resort I contacted were already full for the holidays. Goldkist Beach Resort was one of the chalets that had free rooms since it was in quite a secluded place along East Coast Park, so I went for it.
First off, it wasn’t any 5 star hotel, so be prepared for a general lack of amenities and cleanliness issues. The one thing I like about their rooms is how their bedroom is on the second floor away from the bugs and creepy-​crawlies and meaning I could lock away our belongings upstairs while guests were arriving downstairs. Having the bedroom upstairs also meant that there was a larger free area on the first floor for guests to sit and mingle and also eat. There was a BBQ pit that could be rented, and would be ready for your arrival at the verandah area of the chalet. Having an outdoor verandah and an indoor seating area meant great contingency plans for the night.
But look out for the disgusting swarm of cockroaches that would arrive on a nightly basis — it can’t be helped since there is food around, but they need some serious pest control!

I recently attended a university orientation camp at Goldkist Beach Resort and am still wondering why this place still exists. Goldkist Beach Resort comprises of numerous chalets at East Coast Park and used to be rather popular around 20 years ago.
Entering the chalet, I was appalled at how dirty and old the place was. The floor was covered with a layer or dust and felt sticky and gross. The chalet was sparsely furnished with a table, a sink and a fridge, as well as 2 beds on the 2^nd level. The windows had holes in them and the door knob was rusty. It was truly a horrible experience. To think we paid more than a hundred for a night in this disgusting place is absolutely absurd. Even budget hotels could provide better facilities I believe. The pictures on their website is very deceiving, so please do not be taken in.
