Hvorfor folk elsker det

  • Private custom remork (tuk-tuk) tours with English-speaking guides included in the rate
  • Airport transfers in a vintage 1965 Mercedes-Benz limousine
  • The 'Aman Junkie' service standard where staff seem to know what you want before you do

Hurtig oversigt: It is undeniably expensive and showing its age in spots, but the access and atmosphere are unmatched if you value privacy over glitz.

Anmeldt af @jennifermhasbun: I spent my mornings eating fresh papaya by the ocean and my afternoons lounging in those rustic cabanas. The vibe is incredibly grounding—perfect if you need a mental reset. Plus, seeing the dogs happy on the beach made the whole place feel so welcoming.

The hype

A serene, temple-like oasis that feels more like a private residence than a hotel, with exceptional guiding.

Reality check

The property is aging—expect some worn pool tiles and manual blinds that have seen better days, and the gym is surprisingly basic.

  • You are an architecture nerd who loves 1960s minimalism
  • You hate crowds and want private, back-door access to temples
  • You value silence and understated luxury over gold taps and marble lobbies

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

  • Housekeeping: Twice daily, generally excellent with turndown gifts, though recent reports cite missed spots.

  • Maintenance: Most things work, but guests have noted worn blinds and aging pool tiles.
  • Linens & towels: High quality, plush, and replaced generously.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh lemongrass and jasmine scent throughout the property.

“I am looking for a quiet Pool Suite away from the new construction next door. If a Pool Suite isn't available, I'd prefer an original suite that is not Room 1 to ensure distance from the restaurant.”

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is the price worth it?

If you utilize the private guide and driver daily, yes. If you just sit by the pool, you're overpaying.

Is it kid-friendly?

Technically yes, but the atmosphere is library-quiet. Kids might feel stifled.

How far is Angkor Wat?

Very close—about a 10-15 minute drive in your private remork.

Do I need a visa?

Yes, most travelers need a visa. E-visas are easy to get online beforehand.

Is there a dress code for dinner?

Smart casual. It's relaxed, but people tend to dress nicely for the evening.

Can I skip the temple tour?

You can, but it's included in the rate, so you'd be throwing money away.

Insidertips

  • ✨

    Ask for the 'Khmer Village House' breakfast—they take you to a rustic wooden house near the royal reservoir for traditional noodles.

  • ✨

    The library has a fascinating collection of books on Khmer history that you can borrow.

  • ✨

    You can request a private spiritual blessing with a monk at a nearby pagoda, arranged by the hotel.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The gym is surprisingly small and basic for a hotel of this caliber.

  • 💡The 'Pool Suites' are in a newer extension, not the original 1962 King's villa structure.

  • 💡There are no TVs in the rooms (by design), so bring an iPad if you need Netflix.

  • 💡The vintage Mercedes transfer is cool, but the AC in a 1965 car struggles in 100°F heat.

  • 💡You might spot monkeys near the property, keep your terrace doors closed.
