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.
