"Everyone was so helpful and nice. We were greeted immediately with a cool towel and a juice drink. Our flight came in around 10 a.m. which means we got to the hotel well before the 2 p.m. check in but they were able to let us check in early. Pro tip, the hotel offers a pick up/drop off from the air port at a specific price. It is very much the going rate for the ride, so just accept their ride. We did not because previous hotels overcharged for this service and it would have been much easier to get a ride from Saem Siem Reap Hotel.
Breakfast was good and the salt water pool was so refreshing after visiting the temples. All around beautiful place to stay."
"Excellent hotel. I can’t say enough about this place and the staff. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind, helpful, polite, and professional. I wish I had noted their names because they truly stood out.
The hotel grounds are beautiful, the pool is lovely, and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was the cherry on top, fresh and absolutely delicious.
I traveled solo and stayed for three nights, and I felt very safe and comfortable the entire time."
