I booked this hotel based on the pictures on the website. I thought it looked like a wonderful retreat and the price was better than most of the hotels on many different travel sites. I was a little apprehensive that it might be a litte too good to be true. But, I was very very wrong.
We arrived at the Siem Reap airport and were picked up free of charge. The resort is absolutley gorgeous. The paths between the cabins are covered in tropical flowers and trees, many of them with fresh fruit. The pool is under a mango tree.
The rooms are individual cabins. They have the most comfortable beds I have slept in while in Asia. Each has an A/C you can control and a ceiling fan. Even though we went during the hot season, we were cool.
The service is great and breakfast is included in the rooms- you can have it at the main area, by the pool or in your room. I really recommend the Khmer food- they have a great noodle soup and the Khmer BBQ is the best I ever had. Plus, the fruit is so fresh, they go pick it after you order it!
They do have internet access for the guests and a pool table. It was very relaxing to go back to the hotel after a long day at the temples and swim, play pool and just relax.
The hotel is not in the main city and is off the beaten track. I loved it because you got to see a bit of local color. Plus, it was very quiet at night and the stars are amazing. As you sleep, the only noise you hear is the sound of the chirping geckos and frogs. I like that, though I understand that many people do not. You will see them in the evening in the main area since it is typical Khmer and it open to the outside. (Keep your door closed and you will not have a problem with them in your room.)
The only possible negative I could even say about this hotel is that since it is a little off the beaten path, you cannot just walk outside and wave down a driver. You will have to arrange it with the front desk, though it was very inexpensive- just $12 a day for all day.
If I go back to Siem Reap, I don't plan on even looking around, just booking this hotel again.
