We weren't completely impressed. THe location is fantastic - right on the board walk at Ao Nang, but the service was mediocre (the woman at the desk was'nt able to tell us how to take a boat to Ko Yao Noi, nor was she particularly helpful with anyting else we asked). They also don't have free wireless, which is surprising given the cost of the rooms here. The rooms themselves are OK, we had a poolside room. It was a bit dark, but very big and the bathroom was nice and clean. The buffet breakfast was quite good and included in the price of our room.

We stayed at the Golden Beach Resort in November and although it is in a great location, I was disappointed with our stay. We booked a chalet room - it was spacious, but we were right next to building work which started every morning at 8am. When we asked to move, the hotel staff were not very helpful and we had to be quite forceful. We did eventually move, and it was further away from the building work, but we could still hear it. In addition to this, the breakfast was not good and it was the only place we stayed during our holiday to Thailand where the staff just seemed not bothered. I wouldn't stay here again.

After booking six months in advance to ensure we were at a beachfront hotel for the highlight of our holiday, we arrived at Golden Beach resort to be told they had a system error and had no rooms available. Instead we were moved to a hotel 15minutes from the beach overlooking a construction site. I would not recommend golden beach to anyone unless you dont mind poor management or where you end up.
