We are traveling with my parents who cant walk a lot so will be spending time at the hotel when tired while my husband and I go exploring.
From what I can tell, from the back of a tuk tuk, is that a lot of the resorts are being built/have been built on the fringe of the downtown area as stand alone properties. I'm sure they offer free shuttles to the markets but we were right in the heart of where the activity was. Keep in mind that there is a Golden Temple Boutique Hotel and a Golden Temple Residence. They are right across the street from each other(literally 20' apart). And the street seems like a back alley until you realize all the side streets are this way. I was originally booked at the Boutique Hotel until an email informed me I had been moved to the Residence. I was assured the rooms were the same with the difference being the Residence had a bigger pool and more amenities. We enjoyed everything about our stay there. Good luck to you and your family!
