“Tucked away from the grand entrances, this resort feels like stepping into a private botanical paradise. The villas, reminiscent of colonial design, offer both generous space and secluded outdoor bathing, while the attentive staff elevates the stay from pleasant to genuinely memorable. I found the emphasis on fresh, local Khmer cuisine particularly appealing, adding a distinct flavour to the experience.”
