The Golden Beach Resort is a nice mid range hotel perfect for those who want to be near bars and restaurants and those who want to explore nearby islands. The staff were polite but not overly friendly compared to other Thai hotels I have stayed in. The Executive Bungalow we stayed in was very comfortable although a lizard or two... more

Stayed in a bungalow & liked it. Seems to be one of the best hotels in Ao Nang. Basically on the beach (no traffic on the road). Slight mosquito issue, but repellant helps. Excellent location for just about everything other than transfer to/from airport as some coaches can not go to the hotel. Great staff. Only one dork. ;-) The... more

More than impressed, I was slightly worried after reading a few negative reports. Stayed in a garden bungalow for 4 nights, plenty of room with a large ensuite. Tea making facilities, robes, and comfortable chairs and coffee table add a nice touch. Excellent location opposite nice beach - short walk to main shops etc. Staff were very friendly and more... more

We stayed in GBR two times last year. First stay was in bungalow and other in deluxe room. Both are nice and clean, but have quite a lot mosquitoes inside. Of course that is typiccal situation everywhere in thailand, so it is really not big minus. Location is excellent and the view from pool is amazing, There is something, which... more

Recently stayed at this hotel. Location: steps from beach- we loved that. I loved this beach and I have been to many other vacation destinations. Check in was good. Staff speak fairly good english...you just need to be patient when asking questions. They are so kind and accomodating. Rooms: We had one deluxe room and one cottage. Both were immaculate.... more

After 3 nights in Bangkok it was lovely to stay at a hotel so close to the beach even if its not the greatest beach (very noisy with long tail boats coming and going all day.) We had a nice welcome and were shown to our twin room (which should have been a double). The room itself was nice, serviced... more

Short review: Basic 2-star room at very expensive rates; many rooms have poor views; mosquitoes; no tea-making accessories; poor and unsympathetic management. I will never stay there again. Long review: We live a short 90-minute flight and hoped that this hotel would be our place to stay for years to come. But - no way!! Let's start with positives. LOCATION:... more

This resort is set in a perfect location, about 10 seconds to the Ao Nang beach and minutes to transport. The staff are extremely friendly. Our room was cleaned daily (incl change of sheets, towels, etc). The hotel provided two bottles of water every day. The food was great and service fast. Breakfast was free and awesome: eggs (fried, boiled,... more
