Golden Beach Resort

酒店位於Sok San海灘，西港遊艇可以直接到達海灘碼頭（來回30$/人），步行5分鐘左右到達酒店。酒店對面就是乾淨細膩的白色沙灘，映襯的碧藍的海水和天空白雲瞬間讓人心曠神怡，這家酒店建築比較有特色，酒店環境也很好，唯一不足的是服務人員太少，等了很長時間沒有那菜單點餐，每次都是自己跑到前台那菜單再點餐，感覺就是自助式服務，價格相對比外面高2-3倍。不過這家酒店檔次在附近相比應該是數一數二了，另外酒店可以租摩託車15$/天，大概介紹到此，總體挺不錯，值得一去！

一對波蘭夫妻是老闆，酒店員工很nice，吃的也不錯，在門口的沙灘上躺椅上躺一天很舒服…就是島上太曬了…

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. ☹️
