Golden Bay Cottage

Big well designed room. Hotel is right on the beach with really good restaurants close.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Staff have been more than helpful. You really only have to ask if you need anything. You have the beach right on your doorstep, so to speak. And a great pool. There are plenty of beds around the pool area.You have a varied choice at breakfast. It's always nice to have tea or coffee in the morning to start your day.....The restaurant also has a nice choice of meals, with some really great cocktails. We enjoyed the veiws during the day of the beach.And the peace and quiet of the place day and night. They really do try and keep the place/grounds up together. We enjoyed our stay that much. We extended our stay for longer.... In fact, we are still here.?... If I was going to write anything negative, it would be about the white towels used for the bathroom. They are in desperate need of new ones.

Close to beach, easy to walk from/to. Close to many restaurants and shops. Nice and taken care of area. Good breakfast.

The sink is outside the bathroom and in the main area. Walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbours. There’s no shower curtain so water gets everywhere when you shower. No telephone to contact reception and once we did try to call then on our private phone, we had to call 6-7 times before someone answered.

Fabulous location, great staff, pool is perfect, great breakfast and good menu

Nothing at all

The beach is fantastic and right out the front. Breakfast is fairly simple but very good.

Rooms had AC but didn't have a window for ventilation.

Rooms were a good size Very close to beach Good breakfast and good breakfast room

The room I was in the toilet never flushed. I approached the staff on the three occasions regarding the issue. They gave me a plunger as a last resort. However I would still stay there again

Due to some trouble we arrived after 10 P.M. when the reception had closed, but the old man waited for us and we could check-in the day after. Friendly staff overal.The location is really good, just next to the beach. Nice sunbeds (made of iron so quite heavy)

The bungalow we stayed at had some problem with the flushing, so you had to flush a couple of times. We had a rather big cockroach in our room one evening after coming home from dinner.

The location of the hotel is perfect right on the beach which is sandy. The food at the restaurant was great and not over priced. There are lots of other restaurants in easy walking distance either on the beach or heading up to the main road.

The rooms although very clean were old and tired. The beds were very hard with worn out bedding and towels - we only got given bath towels and no hand towels and they smelt stale. The hotel grounds were spotless but the whole hotel lacked any character and felt soulless. The breakfast was the worst we encountered on our trip. And for the price of the hotel we expected so much more.

The beach. Khlong Dao Beach is one of the most beautiful in Asia with fine sand, gently sloping into the sea. It was perfect for my 87-year-old mother. Golden Bay makes the most of this with a beautiful lawn looking out to the Andaman Sea and a small terrace perfectly sited for beachfront lunches and cocktails as the sun sets out in front of the hotel. The food was limited but wonderfully good and the staff were lovely. I also loved the monitor lizards that from time to time wondered across the lawn and the hornbills that landed on the roof of my hut at night. It was a great place to spend a very relaxing Christmas.

The breakfast was OK but could have been much better. We went out and bought papaya and mangoes to add to the watermelon and pineapple that was available every day. Bananas would also have been nice. The Thai food for breakfast was always our favourite but more could have been offered. The restaurant, it's setting and staff were all great.

The location is excellent,right in the heart of one of the best beaches on Koh Lanta. The rooms were very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was good. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The breakfast buffet was ok, but not exceptional. Actually I prefer hotels which don't include breakfast and offer an s ka carte option.

Great place to stay, location was perfect front of the sea, u can see the sunset every evening.Room was clean and comfortable.Staff was friendly and polite!

The location was great and the rooms spacious. I also appreciated the pool towels provided.

Rules, rules, rules! Had to sign an A4 full of rules during checkin. Signs inside the rooms also with more things you can't do. I didn't know that drinking and eating in a room could be so bad. Do I have to walk out of my room to take a sip of water or have a quick snack? Who knows! It was just a bunch of rules that made the stay very uncomfortable. I can understand not wanting durian in the room despite my liking the fruit, but all eating and drinking being banned is ridiculous. The breakfast was a bare minimum for this price. I expected better. Also, maybe because I don't see marshmallows and gummy candy to be part of breakfast.

I love the friendly staff and location. Everyone was very helpful! I also appreciate the patio or shade area along the beach.

I found the grounds could have been cleaner. The shades above the pool need to be better maintained.

Probably the best location in Klong Dao! Very friendly staff and always clean and nice surroundings. We had a showerhead that didn’t function, and it took less that ten minutes before it was fixed; the staff all really did their best to make everyone happy all day. We also got a really quiet and lovely bungalow.

This place has so much potential! We stayed for three weeks, and there’s just some small things that would improve the place hugely. Whilst there’s room for improvements, it also feels like the owners are content with the way it is. The beds could be better / softer with some extra top matresses. There should also be mosquito nets available. Although the staff did spray our room when I asked, and we didn’t have any mosquitos after they sprayed.

The rooms were well appointed. Each had a porch and we were next to the pool. The cocktails were good

Location, beach, good restaurants near by, Quite. Not too much noise.

Not enough beach chairs.

Good central location. The room was clean with a/c.

Our room had a lovely deck but it faced a wall. You couldn’t swim in the pool after 1800. Every lawn chair had a towel on it to keep the chair reserved (even over nighy)so there was nowhere to sit. Lots of families and seemed to be all German.

Room, bed, location, beach

Breakfast poor

thank you very much for a pleasant holiday, especially Miss GOLF was absolutely exceptional and the overall service was at a high level, all the staff are great. The location is perfect, the beach is beautiful and overall the resort is excellent. We will really love to come back here. Albert, Karolina and David from red ginger

Great clean pool with sea viewAccommodating and polite staff Received a free welcome drink and our luggage was carried to the room for us Location was good

Our first bungalow was very ran down, bed was extremely hard and we were bitten by bugs for the entire night, however we asked to be moved to a different bungalow the next morning and staff agreed and moved us immediately without any problems which was nice. The second bungalow was much nicer with a comfy bed and it looked more looked after. They were both classed as standard bungalows, so it might be a lucky dip when it comes to the room.Cleaners weren’t great, our bed wasn’t made up properly ( it was an old blanket put between what it seemed to be two single sheets, so not a proper quilt or cover and since it didn’t shut it was all over the place and blanket was always coming out of the „covers” and it seemed that even cleaning staff struggled to put it together nicely and we were finding our things on the floor after they’ve cleaned.Breakfast was very bad, it’s the same buffet every single day, noodles were always cold, there were 3 people just standing on the side but they never refilled anything, so every day we had to keep asking for them to refill the milk, bring more fruit, eggs etc, considering that there were only 2-3 tables of people in the restaurant each time we had breakfast I don’t understand why it was a problem to keep the stations stocked, it really wasn’t busy at all.
