“Great place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

We stayed five nights here in March 2011 and were lucky enough to be opgarderet to a delux bungalow.
Golden Bay is a super nice resort with a really good service and very nice staff, the food in restaurants is very good and very popular on the evening of guests from other resorts.
No matter where you are at the resort, you're never more than 150 meters from the beach, the beach is really nice and child friendly.
Fine pool area.

If you want to stay close to shopping Klong Dao Beach is highly recommended as it does not take more in 5 minutes in a taxi to get in there.

Can definitely recommend Golden Bay.

“Loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011

The rooms were spotless (but simple), the staff were brilliant, the food was good. Have no complaints about this place. We stayed for a week before heading to Phi Phi but wish we stayed longer.

Our chalet looked out across Klong Dao bay with breath taking views. Not a bad way to wake up every morning. The staff could not do enough for us. So helpful. Favorite place in thailand, and came at a ridiculouly cheap price.

Room Tip: They all seemd pretty nice!

“Calm, excellent service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

We stayed two nights in air con bungalows for 2000 baht and one night in a deluxe bungalow for 3600 baht. There was not much difference between the basic bungalow and the deluxe bungalow, besides from a nicer bathroom. Very calm surroundings, close to the beach. Breakfast was included, but there were no pancakes.. Excellent service, free transfer to and from the ferry. Close to a taxistation and an ATM.It was a very nice midrange place to stay.

“Dated Rooms and Average Beach”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2010

Stayed here for 1200 baht the cheapest room they have. Room faced out onto the back wall of another bungalow. Very dated interior - think1970s. Not enough loungers by the beach and these too are not well maintained. Service friendly. I would not stay here long term. It is okay for one or two nights but the beach water is not clear like on the photos, The beaches on Lanta farther south looked nicer from the speedboat snorkeling tour I did but if you go further south you will need a motorbike or pay taxis to get around.
