About Good Times Resort
The staff are what people remember here, and that comes up again and again in reviews. Reception, gardeners, cleaners, kitchen, drivers, all of them friendly without the stiff, rehearsed feel you get at bigger resorts. That counts for a lot when you're back from a long day at the Bridge or the waterfalls and just want someone to sort you out a cold drink.
The grounds do the heavy lifting otherwise. Ornamental water features, a koi pond worth feeding, and a covered outdoor sitting area by the river that comes into its own at sunset. Two pools, the larger one long enough for proper lengths, though guests have noted the water runs cold. Rooms are air-conditioned with firm beds, breakfast is a decent spread, and the on-site restaurant handles meals through the day with cocktails at prices that surprise people.
Soundproofing between rooms is thin. If you're a light sleeper, or your plan is quiet afternoons by the pool rather than exhausting days out, noisy neighbors will reach you.

Reviews from Google
Amazing facilities, beautiful views (especially at sunset), attention to detail with the ornaments and water features, 2 swimming pools and a delicious breakfast. But the main attraction for me was the super friendly and caring staff. At some of these resorts, the interactions can sometimes feel artificial but not here- genuinely nice people who are more than happy to help others. All staff - receptionists, gardeners, cleaners, catering staff, drivers and tour operators should be applauded and admired. Special mention to Taw / Tho (sorry for spelling :)) young man with a big heart and a warm personality. Miss all you guys already Khob koon mak krub 🙏
Really lovely hotel with great staff. The gardens and pond area are beautiful and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Cocktails are great value and taste really good, the food is also quite reasonable. The soundproofing in the rooms isn't great, we were exhausted after a day of activities but if you've just come to lay by the pool and relax you may find it a bit noisy at night if you don't have quiet neighbours
Lovely hotel set in a very good location. Comfortable room and beautiful swimming pools. The larger one ideal for swimming lengths. Very nice restaurant on site which also offers breakfast for guests and is very comprehensive. Staff friendly and helpful on excursions. Scooter hire available.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
