Golden Beach Resort

Beautiful resort, 3 great pools and the amazing white beach infront of the door. Perfect with kids. They have kids menu and even toys for the water. Games to use and very good food. Massages are great and the staff is so helpfull and friendly

Highly recommend golden beach resort for anyone looking for a luxurious stay on Koh Rong island. First mention goes to the staff without a doubt, they were some of the loveliest people, on reception and in the restaurant also. They could not do enough for us - they organised a few things for my girlfriend’s birthday during our stay which made things extra special. Their kindness and effort really made our stay memorable, and we’re so grateful to everyone involved. We stayed in the sea view room and it was incredible, electric remote curtains opening up to the most beautiful view in the morning. How this resort is not 5 star simply baffled us both! We’ve stayed in many of 5 star resorts and this has topped many of them without a doubt.

That we didn’t stay longer!

A place you’ll want to return to. Total relaxation. A priceless view, cottages with a charming, atmospheric style, delicious food, and—on top of that—delightful service. We highly recommend this place.

Food and drinks were excellent. Nice rooms and facilities but nothing super special TBH.

Overall I was disappointed mostly by the price. We stayed at another resort on Koh Rong before Golden Beach which was half the price and much better in almost every regard. This resort is nowhere near it's 5 star rating - I have stayed in many 5 star resorts in south east asia and this was the most disappointing. Breakfast was good but limited options. The resort restaurant area was very small and overcrowded. On our last day there were heaps of people left standing with their breakfast waiting for seats, as the outdoor area was unshaded due to the 2 umbrellas breaking the day before. Day 1 we had no hot water, they came to fix - then we had no water. Eventually it was fixed. Every day we had to chase them up to service our room. No minibar. No happy hour - almost everywhere else had one! It was right on the main street which was a busy road lots of trucks and bikes zooming past which kinda killed any chilled vibe. There was then a major mix up when we were leaving with the boat transfer back to the mainland - staff member seemed all over the place. No thank you or goodbye when we were leaving. The vibe was just very strange the whole time. Very dull atmosphere, very little ambiance - no music in the bar/restaurant areas for the first 3 days of our stay. The facilities were nice and clean, food was outstanding to be fair, but the most expensive we experienced on the island. Another annoying thing, which in fairness we encountered a lot in Cambodia was the lack of no-smoking zones. There were a lot of smokers - so we're sitting having our breakfast and there's smokers everywhere around us. Kills the appetite. Would have expected this from a hostel or 2 star, but not 5 star. 4 stars at best - never 5 stars.
