GOLDEN ORIENT BUFFET RESTAURANT
Since losing my mother last October I made some New Year Resolutions, some have been easier to keep that others, but over all I am still on track, although weight loss is only small it is still helping to getting me better; but that?s another story, the resolution that led us to the Golden Orient was to try new foods and to spend more quality time with my family.

Advantages: Great location, very good customer service and food in restaurants good Disadvantages: rooms a little dark and we had no view , could not flush toilet paper in the toilet

GETTING THERE:
We arrived at the airport after a flight from Birmingham via Amsterdam and having read a number of reviews about the taxis from the airport and their enthusiasm for speed and reluctance to accept a fair fare or take four people in one taxi, we choose to book an airport transfer. We were met by a gentleman with our name on his notice and then escorted to a taxi outside. The journey was quite speedy but incident free, a couple of hairy moments, some very close ...
