No problems, good services, March 5, 2008 by Udo Hartmann Visit Date:February 9, 2008 "We booked a glasfront bungalow. Dont do that, its dirty, sparkling, moody and very small. Dont believe the pictures on the webside. We change to a hotelrrom. It was o.k.Staff very friednly. Breakfast was o.k.The restaurant to expensive, go in other on the beach.For this prices you can get a better resort on samui.

The booking service was wery good.At first we tryed to book on Thaihotels.com, but they were wery slow, and made a lot of misthakes. Then we tryed at Sawadee, and at once ewery thing was going the rigth way., March 2, 2008 by Jonny Dahl Visit Date:February 9, 2008 "The hotel is on a nice lokation, rigth to the beach. The beach is not a good beach if you have children. Big waves, 5 meters out it is wery deep.Rooms are a litle old, but ok. The staff is wery nice, and the maneger of the hotel is a wery nice guy and he is always around if you need help.The hotel is placed in the best end of the town if you need some peace and quired. But you dont have to walk more than 100 meters and you are rigth where the action is. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
Superb communication and easy way to order on the internet. Thank you., February 20, 2008 by Anne Ruud Visit Date:February 2, 2008 "When we arrived at the hotel we got wery disapointed. We tought we were going to have wery nice rooms since the rooms to begin with were quite exspensive. We were offered 40% off since it was our first stay at the hotel, so we ended up paying about 31000 bhat per room for 2 weeks. When we arrived and entered our rooms it was wery weared down even though it was written on the hotel pages on the internet that it had been upgraded lately. We understood that the pictures on the internet must have been taken when the hotel was new. Several of the bathrooms had holes in the walls, and there was stains of mould because of humidity. There was no curtains in the showers so we had to move the toiletpaper everytime we were going to take a shower. We found out that we should not complain, because we were only going to sleep there, and that we would spend most of the time outdoors.The hotel-staff were wery nice though, polite and did all they could for us to have a pleasant stay. The room was cleaned every day and it was done well. New beach towels and bathroom towels were given to us every day and on my boyfriends birthday the hotel staff gave him a big beautyful flower-arrangement. The hotel restaurant had good food, but most of the time we were served so that the first person was finished to eat when the last got his food. Understandable when we were 12 people for dinner, but it happened also if we were 4 people. The hotel had a nice location, with a pool and only 2 stairs down to the beach. All in all a pleasant stay because of the nice staff. " |

January 27, 2008 by Andrea Visit Date:January 16, 2008 "the Hotel is nice, neat and tidy with a quite good looking garden with big green lawns and palm trees. The pool is good and right on the beach. Service is friendly and very discreet. The only minor defects of the Hotel are: 1. bad acoustic insulation of the rooms, so that you can clearly hear what s going on next door; 2. very average breakfast.There are much bigger problems with Samui, not to be blamed on Golden Beach Hotel.The place has become quite ugly and noisy. Sea water isn t very good, the roads are narrow, trafficked, badly paved and muddy. There s a lot of restaurants and shops but the quality is medium low. What s been more annoying this time is the new habit of the fireworks, going on up to midnight and beyond. Huge blasts waking up my little son in tears several times between 10 and 12pm, every day! It was not New Year s eve, neither western nor chinese nor thai! I think that if Samui doesn t want to lose all the little baby guests and their families, they should do something to address this issue.Generally speaking, I ve been to Samui several times in the past but this will be my last time. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
Excellent and reliable service, June 23, 2008 by Marina Whiteman Visit Date:January 3, 2008 "Good hotel for the price. The bungalos with glass doors are better than the villas. The condition of the rooms is average and they need to be refurbished. The beach is nice, water was clear on most days. Nice breakfast. We have stayed there for the New Year Party and it is just great how the stuff prepared everything including food and program. Massage in the hotel was not too good, we used to go to the hotel next to GSBR. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
Booking service was very good- fast and efficient. , October 8, 2007 by Colin Shepherd Visit Date:October 1, 2007 "The Hotel is in a great location, the poolside area is nice and the grounds are lovely. The food was also quite good and service was OK but the staff, whilst pleasant enough, lack the level of trainig that would improve the tone of the place. Unfortunately the rooms are sadly neglected and in dire need of upgrade. We stayed in the glass front bungalows. You don t expect a lot at these rates but the mould and bad odours in the bathroom and the genreally shabby decor is a sign that the management is eaking every last buck out of the place before either giving up or investing in a reasonble upgrade. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
very useful and very fasti will you it again, September 13, 2007 by Sabrina Visit Date:August 26, 2007 "Nice resort for the price. Very kind staff.We did not speka english so much but we didn t have any problems. Free babycot. The rooms wasn t far from the river and the restaurant is recommended. The room was nice but we think that they have to be renewed.." |
No problem at all!!, July 23, 2007 by The Andersson family Visit Date:July 5, 2007 "We stayed here for the 2:nd time in the Seaviewroom. They were ok but not more, could really need a refreshing now! Small bathroom with the shower next to toiletchair, you have the water everywhere! Nice pool with a small childrenspool next to it. The jacuzzi didn´t work. They have built a new restaurant next to beach and the menu is a bit expensier now. Breakfast was good with a lot to choose of. It´s very good to live close to beach and yet have the nightlife just outside the hotel. Quite in the evenings too! <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
Excellent. We only booked it a few hours before we arrived and it was all sorted out, including the transport from the airport., July 8, 2007 by Gerard McConville Visit Date:June 27, 2007 "Very happy with it. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the restaurant had lovely meals. We changed from a deluxe room to a superior room, because the deluxe room was noisy, with the air conditioning units outside it. We got moved to a superior room on the 1st floor and it was great. Access directly to the beach and a lovely pool." |
Excellent!, January 25, 2007 by Erskine Lau Visit Date:January 17, 2007 "Excellent resort in this reasonable price, the beachfront swimming pool is very nice, next time back to Samui I must choose Golden Sand Beach Resort and stay more night." |
Very easy, no hassles., January 9, 2007 by Lee Christie Visit Date:December 28, 2006 "The pictures don t do the place justice. The hotel far exceeded our expectations. The room was very clean and spacious, stayed in the glass bungalow. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was great: close to shops, scooter hire, pubs and restaurants; beach front pool with jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. The new year s eve gala dinner was an absolute feast and the hotel staff really went all out. We would definitely stay at Golden Sand Resort again if visiting Ko Samui in the future. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
