Amansara

Truly the best in Siem Reap, Cambodia! Everybody works so hard to make your stay exceptional at Amansara. There wasn’t a single unfriendly or less than ideally trained staff here including their amazing general manager, MJ Birch! Angkor Wat tours, the highlight of our trip, were so well planned and executed. We left very early in the morning everyday but the light breakfast delivered to the room made it possible for me to be a morning person for those few days. Pictures don’t do this place justice so you just have to come see it for yourself! Amansara has to be one of the best Aman stays for us. Thank you Amansara team!

good luck in your Am

We just completed a 4 night stay at Amansara, our sixth Aman and had a terrific stay. Obviously a big plus for this property is the location of this hotel next to multiple historic temples dating as far back as the 9th century. They are truly wonders of the world and a must see for any avid traveler. Our tour guide for our entire trip was fantastic and we would highly recommend him. He was part of our package booked via the hotel. It truly is worth spending 3 to 4 full days as there is so much to see. I do recommend coupling with a couple of days in Phnom Penh to see the temples and learn more about the Khmer Rouge and Cambodia’s tragic genocide. The staff at the hotel are great - probably the most attentive of any Aman we have stayed at. They are led by a strong GM called MJ who was present, kind and responsive to any expressed concerns. The head chef Sattar was great. Multiple times we ordered off menu and he always accommodated us. I had cravings forIndian food several times which he prepared. All our servers were great but Ramorn and Phanet stood out. We booked a package to stay at the Ampanpuri in Phuket as well as Amansara and it came with a lot of great perks including transfers, a massage, includes tours, a breakfast at Khmer House, a small property by the reservoir owned by the Aman, a Jasmine blessing with a priest and laundry service. The laundry service was fantastic. It is great to be returning home with laundered and pressed clothes. We used the spa several times for massages, wraps, facials, pedicures, manicures and also my wife had a soul healing with a visiting specialist called Coco who is originally from France. All the treatments were great. The property itself is beautiful and architecturally interesting. It was a guest property for the King and celebrities like Jackie O stayed there before it became a hotel. It is modern, French, Cambodian in style. We had a pool suite which we enjoyed. While the main pool was barely occupied it was nice to have the privacy of our own pool. My only critique was dealing with central reservations. They failed to conneft us to the htoel so we could plan our itinerary in advance

From the moment we arrived at Amansara we were greeted by the wonderful staff and management . The grounds are stunning, the room was amazing, the restaurant - perfect. No detail was overlooked. Complimentary laundry service was available whenever we needed it! THE EXCURSIONS ARE FANTASTIC. UNIQUE. We did temples , sunrise at Angkor Wat (stunning), water blessing by a monk! And a forest meditation walk with a monk the next day. We also took a cooking class. Outstanding. It was off the property in a local house. Amazing cooks to teach us. I think I can actually make spring rolls now!!!!! We even did a sunset cruise - just the two of us on an amazing boat. Toasting the sunset in style. I think what made this even more special was that we had the same guide all 3 days. Mr.Huo Chuop. He was very knowledgeable and he catered the tours to our wants and needs. Truly special. We felt like he was an old friend showing us around his town. Truly everyone at the hotel was lovely. Location is perfect. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. This was the highlight of our trip to Southeast Asia. If you are thinking of visiting Siem Rep - look no further than this special hotel. We can’t wait to come back!
