Golden Beach Resort

Gorgeous small resort, we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights here. Beautifully designed & decorated rooms. High quality bed linens & extremely comfortable bed. Very friendly & helpful staff. The beach is stunning. Breakfast service slightly chaotic at times but delicious omelettes & super selection on buffet. Resort also had paddle boards & kayaks which we utilised & brand new scooters which we rented. Would definitely recommend & would love to return here. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This is a lovely hotel on a small but very picturesque beach. The room was very nice with a very comfortable bed and good pillows. There are 2 pools, one a little busy and one quiet. The food and drinks were very good. The staff was terrific. Sitting under a palapa on the comfortable lounge chairs was heavenly. Nice sugar sand beach. The water was beautiful with nice body- surfing waves. There are calmer beaches on the island, but I enjoyed the waves. I enjoyed the tuk tuk ride around the island with a very personable guide. The picture with the palm tree is on Crocodile beach. I traveled there alone and always felt safe and well looked after.

We stayed at Golden beach for 5 nights and loved it. The staff were incredibly helpful, they helped us figure out where to go on the island and how to best use our time! The food was good too. Sok San was a great home base for exploring the rest of the island.

Simply loved it. You can pick out minor areas of improvement if you want (breakfast & WiFi) but really that sounds nitpicking. The staff were BRILLIANT, simply couldn’t do enough. The only problem was wrenching ourselves away after 6 nights 😢

Golden Beach Resort on Koh Rong, Cambodia, exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel instantly welcome. A standout highlight of our stay was the exceptional service provided by the General Manager, Karolina. Even before our arrival, she went above and beyond to ensure that our journey to the resort was seamless. Her attentiveness, helpfulness, and wealth of knowledge about the island made our experience truly unforgettable. It's evident that Karolina's departure from the resort will be a significant loss, as her dedication to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Her high standard of customer service will be sorely missed and it will probably be impossible to adequately replace her. In addition to Karolina's outstanding service, the resort itself offers a serene and relaxing environment. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The resort's location, nestled on the shores of Koh Rong, is perfect for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. Overall, Golden Beach Resort is a hidden gem on Koh Rong, made even more special by the exceptional hospitality of Karolina and her team. While we are saddened by the news of her departure, we are grateful for the unforgettable memories she helped create during our stay.

PROS - Nice bungalows - Nice pool area - Right on the beach - The receptionist Chanrath is very friendly, helpful and super sweet. - The waitress Chanthorn is so nice, and she really does her best despite having way too much to do. CONS - Hotel appears poorly managed and understaffed. - Wifi is unreliable, internet is unavailable most of the time. - Long wait time (1 hour) both for food and drinks. Lots of mixups in orders, both because of language/communication issues, and general lack of organization. - Breakfast buffet selection is limited. Some days the food was warm, other days not. - Pick up service seems unreliable. Did not show up at agreed time. We had to call the hotel. Other customers were not picked up at all. - Beach is not well taken care of. Garbage is not really collected. Seems like they try to hide most of it under the sand when evening out the sand in the morning. Beach towels are not collected. I collected garbage around the sun beds every morning, which is often considered a job for the staff. - New years eve the hotel arranged bbq and entertainment. Next morning was a total mess. Beach was not cleaned, and full of garbage. Breakfast was cold, and there was not enough food. The bar area was full of used beer glasses and dishes, which were not cleaned until after midday. I myself got several garbage bags from reception, and filled them with trash from the beach. - Boat trips offered by the hotel are crowded and expensive. We booked a private trip elsewhere for a lot less. Not a 5 star resort, as they claim to be. Not worth the price.
