The location and the vibe are so nice — it really feels like I’m on an island. The hotel is very clean and spacious, and the pool is beautiful. I especially love the gym, because I can enjoy the sea view while I’m working out. The breakfast is also really delicious. Overall, I truly love this hotel and everything it offers.

It is always a good place for a holiday because of both the green and the sea. One of my most interesting is a swimming pool next to the sea.

I had a wonderful stay at this beachfront hotel! The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the ocean, with stunning views of the sunrise and sunset. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the amenities I needed. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. I especially appreciated their warm hospitality, which made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The restaurant served fresh and delicious food, and dining while overlooking the sea was a highlight of my trip. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape or a base for beach activities, this hotel is a perfect choice. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location, service, and overall experience. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable stay!

All in all, I can’t complain. The hotel is nice well equipped. The staff is friendly and responsible. Nevertheless, there’s a room for improvement. For example kitchen personnel most certainly requires some training. In the middle of our stay we had a severe food poisoning from breakfast buffet (there’s no doubt), which leads me to thinking a hygiene issue took place, not the food quality. Furthermore, Sunset restaurant has served me mashed potatoes with side vegetables instead of ordered ratatouille with chicken breast without any explanation or warning. Not crucial but disappointing.
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed our hotel and staff service, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you faced with food safety and service. Your comments have been shared with our team for immediate improvement, and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience.

Tucked away jn the heart of nature, this place felt like dream. Waking up to birdsong, falling asleep to the hum of the forest, and soaking in views that made my soul exhale. If you're craving peace, greenery, and a true escape - this place is it.😊🌴🛏

The room was clean and tidy, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The staff offered a warm welcome at the lobby, and everyone was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast featured a delightful variety of options, including Cambodian, Western, and Chinese dishes—all included with the stay. The view of the sea from the room was breathtaking, and opening the curtains allowed the refreshing sea breeze to fill the space.
Response from Property: Dear valued guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to know that we did our best and provided a great experience to the guest. We look forward to seeing you again very soon. Have a nice day! Best regards.

It’s look like they have a problem with the Black skin color when it come to the Spa and it’s too hard for the personal to hide the racism they have and fell about Black people in their Spa area refusing to give us a service we paying for.

This was my second time staying at this hotel, and I always love coming back for the amazing view of the swimming pool and the beach, it’s definitely my favorite spot in Sihanoukville for that! I stayed in the Pod Village rooms this time. They felt a bit small, but overall they were fine. I really appreciated the natural surroundings and the peaceful vibe. The breakfast was good, and overall I truly enjoyed my stay.
Response from Property: Dear value guest,We are glad to hear that you love our hotel. Please have a very nice day ahead.Best regards.
