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.

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.

Moved to main hotel - large room with bath and could work at desk, with great sea view.
Modernist 1960s hotel, with charm. Good swimming pools. Restaurant bit hit and miss.
Beach good within the purview of the hotel, but a disgrace further down, with crumbling ******* and abandoned building sites
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the spacious room, sea view, and swimming pools. We appreciate your note on the restaurant and surrounding beach area — your comments help us improve. We hope to welcome you again for an even better experience. Have a nice day!

The hotel's location is truly ideal for a vacation, striking a perfect balance between relaxation and excitement. Nestled amidst lush, verdant forests that are alive with the playful antics of monkeys, the setting offers a unique and enchanting atmosphere that immerses guests in nature's beauty. The sounds of rustling leaves and distant calls of wildlife create a serene backdrop, making it easy to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Upon my arrival, I was warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink that was both invigorating and soothing—an ideal treat after a long drive. This thoughtful gesture set the tone for my stay, making me feel instantly at home. The staff, with their consistently friendly smiles and genuine hospitality, went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist made a significant difference in my overall experience, adding a personal touch that is often hard to find in larger establishments.
