Hotels in Koh Rong, Sihanoukville

Hotel location is really good, close to the ferry drop off, scooter rental right next to the hotel, staff is friendly enough unless it’s breakfast time. The hotel is basically on the beach, the sun beds on the beach are covered in mold; so is the bathroom in the room we had. Bedroom guests include cockroaches, mosquitoes and occasionally the neighbours will mix up the rooms and try to enter yours. The bedsheets on the first day seemed like were from previous guests, but hey, they let us check in early 😉 Overall - if you can, don’t book it.

Apsara Resort Koh Rong is perfect for those who love a quiet, romantic escape. The atmosphere is very peaceful, especially at night, making it ideal for couples or anyone looking to truly unwind. However, if you’re after a more vibrant nightlife or lively evening vibe, I’d recommend staying at a resort located on Long Set Beach instead. The rooms at Apsara Resort are super clean and luxurious, and the quality clearly matches the higher price — you really do pay for what you get.

We absolutely loved our stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our time at the resort. Our room was clean, quiet and very closely located to the beach. The food was good, the drinks were great and reasonably priced - happy hour daily 2pm-4pm is a great bonus too. Our room was turned down daily and the air con was excellent. The gym had some good facilities however, the air con is never on a the door is left open so take plenty of water and be prepared to SWEAT! The beach was the highlight, plenty of sun loungers for everyone, beautiful crystal clear waters and the sands were regularly cleared of rubbish washed up. There’s lots of palm trees and cashew nut trees to seek shelter under and plenty of cute stray dogs around to entertain you. The resort itself is a great location, near to lots of restaurants, shop, laundry service and a short walk down the beach to more bars with a more party vibe that’s great for a short time before heading back to the zen of the resort. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

We arrived at Royal C Beach Resort after taking the ferry to Koh Rong and found it to be a great spot to slow down for a day. The property has a laid-back island feel, and we spent most of the afternoon walking along the shoreline nearby. Our bungalow was simple, clean, and had a nice amount of space. At night, we could hear the waves from outside, which made the whole experience feel even more like an island getaway.

The facilities are clean, the view is great, the restrooms are large, and it's very quiet. It's also very close to the beach. The only downside is the road conditions; I recommend renting a motorbike for $10 per day. The only reason I gave the service a 4.5 rating is because they didn't provide free water the next day. This place is perfect for customers looking for a quiet vacation.

What I liked: The excellent, comfortable bed and pillows, pristine white linens and towels. The hotel staff contacted me in advance and helped me book ferry tickets and a car from the pier to the hotel. The hotel restaurant served quite delicious dishes. Breakfast was also very good, despite the limited selection. You can use paddleboards for free at the beach. Snorkeling from the shore was also decent; we saw two cuttlefish. The beach is a dream, with one small caveat. There were always enough sun loungers. What I disliked: The beach was littered with plastic remnants from the sandbags used to reinforce the shoreline. One evening, we ordered a bottle of Prosecco at sunset. The waiter opened it and threw the foil directly onto the sand, shocking us with such disregard for this beautiful place. Another morning, guests at the neighboring table on the beach had Coke brought to them. By lunchtime, no one had come to clear the glasses and cans. By sunset, the same cans were still lying on the sand; the glass cups, however, seemed to have been collected. There were also many disappointments with the room: everything was shoddily done, built in a hurry, the furniture was stained with paint, the rug and hat in the room were torn, and in the huge shower, there wasn't a single hook or towel holder. There's also no shower curtain, so the toilet was always wet. Half of the light switches didn't work, and the switches by the bed were swapped. When you leave the room and take the key card, the light above the entrance also turns off, making it quite an adventure to return in the dark and climb the stairs. There's a refrigerator, but it didn't work, and this was the case in two different rooms. At the entrance to the bungalow and the restaurant, there are hoses to wash sand off your feet, but none of them worked. My husband took one apart and cleaned it, and then it worked. Conclusion: With proper management and care, this place could turn into paradise. Things to be prepared for: In the evenings, there are many mosquitoes or gnats on the beach; they bite hard and itch for a long time. Repellents are essential. Within walking distance, there's only the neighboring cafe and nothing else. This could be both an advantage and a disadvantage for some.

What a beautiful location! Peaceful, quiet beach away from the main backpacker areas. The room was simple, bed was comfortable and the outside shower was refreshing. The beach bar/ restaurant had a good menu selection and the included breakfast menu was extensive. Happy hour 5-7 was a good deal. We will be back!

We stayed at this hotel for five nights in January 2026 and changed two rooms — one with a sea view and one with a garden view. The rooms were amazing: spacious, clean, with fresh furniture and recent renovations. We really loved them. Huge windows and curtains controlled by a remote — it’s absolutely wonderful to open the curtains in the morning with a remote while lying in bed. Sunrise, the sea — incredibly beautiful. The staff are extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. They literally anticipate your wishes and help with everything — from carrying suitcases to the room to inflating a large rubber mattress for the children. The restaurant is very good, with a varied menu and tasty food. Breakfast has everything: different types of eggs, pancakes, fritters, waffles, delicious juices. Essentially, all our wishes were satisfied by the restaurant. The highlight is the Surf Club — an artificial wave and the opportunity to surf, with one free hour daily for guests. My older child practically lived there and learned to stand on the board. I would also like to especially note the cleanliness of the beach. It is constantly maintained: the sand is not just leveled with rakes but actually sifted with special equipment. You won’t find a single stick, large shell, cigarette butt, or anything like that. The sand is perfectly clean, the sun loungers are good, the mattresses are clean. It’s simply a paradise. This place is wonderful not just because of its location, but because the staff make maximum effort to create comfort, cleanliness, and a truly pleasant atmosphere.

Honestly, I have zero complaints. The location is perfect, the views are unreal. The rooms aswell are very spacious, perfect for a couple or even a solo backpacker! The food though…oh my god…every chef in the back deserves a massive pay rise RIGHT NOW😂😮💨the food was incredible, very reasonable. But my highlight of the SkyBar were the Tropical Smoothies…I think the workers had enough of me ordering them 4 days in a row for breakfast lunch and dinner 😂 But genuinely this place is amazing! Other than the stairs…those stairs are a killer but it’s good to get some cardio in once in a while 😮💨

I had an exceptional experience at this well-equipped, comfortable, and warmly welcoming place. I was extremely satisfied with both the state-of-the-art facilities and the welcoming atmosphere. The professionalism and enthusiasm of the service team further enhanced my positive impression. Overall, this is a highly recommended place that can meet various needs, whether for leisure or business. Highly recommended!
