Golden Beach Resort Reviews

It's too bad I couldn't read reviews about this place in low season. I was not so much confused by the rains, which fell for 70% of our vacation, as the color of the water in the sea. It is dirty, yellow-green in color. In general, the hotel is good. The territory is very beautiful. Very clean and well-kept. There are not enough personal hygiene products in the room. A restaurant with delicious dishes! Foreign cooks work, which was very surprising. I would return to this place, but in high season.

We were unfortunate to travel during low season, which in Koh Rong means 99% rain everyday, by conversations with locals they are fully aware of this yet all bookings and activities are business as usual but cannot be enjoyed, such as snorkling, BBQ boat etc. because of the weather we were stuck in the hotel 90% of the time, there is NO TV (it does say in room amenities, I read too late) so just be aware, specially if travelling with little ones. The pool is not an option because of thunder and lighting. It costs 15USD to get to the hotel from the pier. There is no ATM on the island only one stall that lets you use your card to pay the local then they give you the money, this is charged at 8% 😡 This is important because for lack of internet connection you cant always use card to pay at restaurant for your lunches and dinner, also when you can, there is a 3% fee to do so. All activities must also be paid in USD but old rugged bills are not accepted even if they have been given to you by other traders ib the island or if the bills got a bit wet in the rain, which was a frequent problem.So come with plenty of new dollars or you'll find yourself stuck with little options. the night before check out, we asked the staff to please let the ferry company know we would be taking the 9:30am ferry to Sihakouville (as instructed by the ferry company). We booked a 9:00am return trip to the pier as recommended. However as we arrived the ferry was leaving, at 9:15. We were not the only ones left behind. Some people had a flight to catch later that day and were made to pay another 17USD per person as according to them it was "impossible" to fit them into one of the almost-empty-boats of one of the other many ferry companies, because they dont work together, some families payed up to 70USD to not miss their flight despite it not being their fault. The hotel was standard, for a beach hotel, nice huts, the beds were clean and comfortable and the highlight was definitely the food at the restaurant, over the 4 days, we tried many dishes all of them delicious. I can imagine during sunny season it must be a beautiful location and a beautiful hotel. saying this, I already thought it was overpriced for low season compared to similar hotels in Thailand and Bali, so for me the price you would pay in high season I would not consider it, specially given the whole experience with the ferry and USDs. ☹️

Everything was just perfect  Beach front

Very exciting place and resort fecilities.

The hotel is located on Sok San Beach. The West Port Yacht can directly reach the beach pier (round trip 30$/person), and it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the hotel. Opposite the hotel is a clean and delicate white sand beach, and the blue water and white clouds in the sky instantly make people feel relaxed and happy. The architecture of this hotel is quite distinctive, and the hotel environment is also very good. The only shortcoming is that there are too few service staff. I waited for a long time but there was no menu to order. Every time I ran to the front desk to get the menu and order, it felt like self-service, and the price was 2-3 times higher than outside. However, this hotel is one of the best in the vicinity. In addition, the hotel can rent a motorcycle for 15$/day. This is the introduction. Overall, it is quite good and worth a visit!

Wonderful hotel on a secluded island. We had a rest with the family and were very pleased Large family room, beautiful beach, delicious restaurant. The hotel service is very friendly. I can recommend the hotel for both family and couples.

Very good hotel, very close to Soksan Pier, booked a sea view room, the view is so beautiful, the hotel facilities are complete, there is a gym and spa, the service staff is very enthusiastic, the only drawback is that the breakfast is the same every day, not many choices

A Polish couple is the owner. The hotel staff is very nice, the food is good, and it is very comfortable to lie on the beach chair at the door for a day... But the island is too sunny...

Enjoyed the trip! The beach was beautiful.

Pleasant trip, comfortable experience

Rich breakfast, friendly staff

The resort is pleasant, the rooms spacious and the bedding perfect. Modern and comfortable furnishings. The beach is clean, with a few sand flies around the deckchairs. We had a pleasant weekend.

Good, good, good, good, good

Very good experience👍
