Golden Beach Resort

Ate here last night and was fabulous food and service . We are staying at a hotel round the corner and had passed it the night before with queues outside . Very impressed we hope to return before the end of our stay

We actually had an ok stay here from 2 Feb-8 Feb, nice location but noisy with long tail boats. Pool lovely with great view, not enough sunbeds though. All staff very polite. The rooms were clean but smelt damp and musty with very poor lighting. We were on ground floor directly opposite pool toilets, they actually need a voil curtains for privacy as when u close the blackout curtains it’s even darker in room. Unfortunately, when we checked out on 8 Feb we accidentally left 2 pairs of sunglasses in the safe, our own fault I know. However we emailed the hotel 3 times over the next few days and they eventually replied saying nothing was found. Our review which is much the same as above has not been put on booking.com so I wanted to make people aware. At the end of the day it was our responsibility to ensure we didn’t leave anything behind, but still leaves you feeling that someone there had a lucky find!

After many attempts of emailing and calling and no support from booking dot com we have not been able to cancel our booking we have sent proof from hospital of cancer diagnosis and still no response ,this has been going on for two weeks ,last minute .com fantastic service ,customer care dealt with refund in 12 hours of call .

There’s a lot going on in Ao Nang. If you’re curious about our usual travel preferences, check our other reviews—but even so, this place still works. Every destination is a compromise: village, resort, city, beach. Ao Nang, with all its quirks, asks you to make a few compromises too—but somehow convinces you to stay. It’s a hub, or maybe a “lost place,” for people aged 22–36 who momentarily misplaced their balance during the search and reached for weed, tattoos, and corn-bead haircuts to help find the answers. Or you’re just passing through. 😉 Anyhow- worth passing. Rooms vs Villas Sea view from most rooms, not all villas. It’ same same if you ask me. Worth it? depends on preferences. Wi-Fi – 2/10 Slow and weak coverage. Front Desk – 5/10 24/7, but English is inconsistent depending on what you want. Service (Restaurant & Cleaning) – 9/10 Very good cleaning and restaurant service. Cleanliness – 8/10 Well maintained, clean and not worn, despite age. Location – 10/10 Best in Ao Nang. Central yet quiet, sea views and mountain backdrop. Many nearby hotels are high-rise with small shaded pools—this feels more open and balanced. Room – 7/10 Spacious, older but clean. Dated bathroom, no smell. Hard beds, loud AC, thin walls - you will hear your neighbors doing their business. Twin beds pushed together- not a king, but works very well! Towels are old and fringed, but works. Value for Money – 7/10 ~1,300 SEK/night for 2 persons in Deluxe in high season – pretty good. Breakfast – 6/10 Limited Thai/Indian selection. Fresh and good quality, but missing juice, pancakes, and proper yogurt/granola. Pool – 9/10 Clean, refreshing, plenty of loungers, no rush to reserve. Towels are supplied 09-18, but are worn and bleeched. Plastic loungers. Food Nearby – 9/10 Walk 10–12 min inland for small, ”genuine”local restaurants. Family of four eats well for ~650 THB. Wonderful taste and wide selection. Overall – 7/10 Ao Nang feels a bit tired (second visit, last in 2022), but this hotel offers a very solid experience. Would stay again if returning to Ao Nang.

Pool and beach 5/5 Room and clean 35 Breakfast 1/5 Fine. Here’s the same review in clean, neutral English. No drama, no marketing fluff. Guest Review: Overall, the hotel is average. The location is good and convenient. The hotel environment is clean. Breakfast was very basic and even below expectations. The service quality is average. The staff’s attitude was acceptable and polite, but nothing special. In summary, it is suitable for a short stay mainly because of its location, but do not expect a special or high-quality experience.
