Great pool, and helpful manager

8.0

This hotel is like an oasis in the desert. We were disappointed to find that our room allocation was an eco lodge room. Far too small for my 6ft tall partner. We also didn't like how far we were from the pool or the beach (golf caddy being the only way). So we asked to go back to reception to discuss the situation. We were taken care of by one of the hotel assistant managers and he made sure we were allocated to a much nicer room. He was even concerned that our sea view wasn't quite perfect as it was slightly obscured by trees. He had nothing to worry about. The view was great and the room was comfortable . The best bit was the lovely pool. I was able to fully let go here and enjoy the peace. Note though that drinks are more expensive poolside than inside. This hotel is popular with Chinese tourists so breakfast choices felt quite Chinese, so added another twist to our holiday. I wouldn't want to stay in sihanoukville unless I had to. It's not exactly nice. But it's an experience. Best to head over to Koh Rong Samloem as soon as you can.

Only hotel that is pet friendly in Sihanoukville. I feel comfort to bring my little buddies there. (They charge 15$/pet which is affordable)

needs to do better.

6.0

I've stayed here previously several times, those I really enjoyed. This time not so much. The main historical building I really enjoy, with great views of the ocean, nice large rooms and comfortable beds. However, in the hotels quest for money, opening up the beautiful oceanside pool for people from outside, meant paying guests couldn't get a seat. Waiters are running around trying to serve so many guests (not enough service staff for the influx in visitors), some not even wearing appropriate swimming outfits. It's not a facility for hotel guests. Previously the beach was also private, but now people come walking in and out, sitting on the seats. Not guests at the hotel. The staff leave the area before the sun goes down. These are just basic management. I will never say at this hotel again, and with newer hotels opening this will struggle into the future, will be saved by it's iconic location and name. You wont get repeat guests. Breakfast was great, staff fantastic in the breakfast room. Potential, but badly managed.
