Golden Beach Resort

It's a very beautiful place. We were delighted, I highly recommend it, everything is very clean. There is a boat station nearby, where you can get to the neighboring islands.

We stayed in the villa P123 on the ground floor. It has a decent sea view from the patio but is very close to the nail salon that blocks the view from the window. there is a second unit above and the first night thw upstairs neighbors had kids that ran around the room a lot whuch was quite annoying, so maybe ask for an upstairs unit if you are sensitive to noise. Everyone was very friendly except one receptionist. I can't remember his name, maybe Sun. He didnt smile or greet us when we arrived, just harshly put a clipboard in front of me and asked me to fill in the paperwork. It was a very bad introduction to the hotel and I was worried that we picked the wrong hotel. Fortunately, everyone else is quite nice. Not truly professional and some of the wait staff were a bit negelegent or got impatient during peak hour dinner service, but that is more understandable than the recption being so cold. we unfortunately had the same receptionist on check out and he was just as cold so i can't blame it on a bad day. So the rest of the staff are nice and helps quickly when we asked about the airconditioner leaking and greeted politley whenever we passed, the other receptionists always look up and smile and said hello when we were in the area. The breakfast was good and varied each day. the bed was comfortable and there was a double bed and single bed which was convenient for our family. thw room was cleaned daily at about 3pm. we only recieved clean towels on the first 2 days and the next 3 days our towels were not changed, not sure why. the shower water was sometimes cold, we thought maybe because the power goes off whenever you leave yohr room (no alternative to this situation). then we thought maybe we share a geyser with the upstairs neighbors and they finished the water...couldnt figure it out the air con worked but needed to be cleaned twice to continue working or it would leak heavily. the location is ideal. only a small road separates you from the beach. the longtail boats to get to the othwr islands is nearby. the busy restaurant and bar street is close enough to shop at but not close enough to create noise and a diaturbance at night the hotels restaurant food is better than most of the other places, though Le Medusa restaurant next door was our favorite. the pool is beautiful, unfortunately closing early at 6pm. I would stay in this hotel again and don't regret booking it. None of the issues were big enough to concern us, I just wanted to write a useful review.

Everything was ok in general . But the common complaint of not being offered a king bed is legit. Despite preferring a king size bed, you end up with 2 singles. They did join it manually but still a bit of hiccup at the start . No brush or toothpaste which is weird for a 4 star resort. Food in breakfast is ok ok . Def no go for vegetarian. Nothing in the options for them except salad and milk n bread. Can't beat the location so that is what you are paying for. Location

Excellent location hotel. A little old but clean. Breakfast is reasonable, good variety. Pool closed at 6pm, which is way too early.

Great location with the beach right across the little street close to everything can just walk to the main street.Good restaurant and nice breakfast I do recommend this place.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel. It is adjacent to the sea beach. During evening high tide the waves are hardly 20 feet's from the hotel premises. Breakfast is awesome. A very good combination Westen food, asian food, fruits and salads. Hotel staff members are helpful and gracious.
