The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the staff's warmth and the sheer size of the rooms, often calling it a 'home away from home.'
Angkor Grace Residence & Wellness Resort
$138-600+/ night
Book this if You want the space of a luxury apartment with the soul of a wellness retreat, and you'd rather hear chanting monks than Pub Street bass.
Why People Love It
- Massive 33-meter lap pool that puts standard hotel pools to shame
- Apartment-style units (1-5 bedrooms) perfect for families or groups who need real living space
- Serious wellness cred: Technogym-equipped fitness center, sound healing temple, and daily yoga
Quick Take: It’s a high-end gated community turned resort, so you get a full kitchen and living room, but you'll need a $2 tuk-tuk to get anywhere else.
Reviewed by @nawfanurie: I came here feeling burnt out and left feeling completely renewed. The sound healing session was unlike anything I've tried before—pure magic. If you want a place that actually feels peaceful and not just 'luxury', this is it. Highly recommend for a solo recharge.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
Breakfast can get repetitive after a few days, and the 'resort' feel is slightly different because it was built as a residential complex.
- You are traveling with a tribe (family or friends) and need multiple bedrooms and a kitchen
- You prioritize a gym that actually looks like a gym, not a closet with one treadmill
- You want to be closer to the temples for those 4:30 AM sunrise starts

5 things to know before you go
💡It was originally built as a residential 'borey' (gated community), which is why the layouts feel like condos.
💡The 'bio-pool' uses natural filtration, so the water feels softer and less chemical-heavy than standard chlorine pools.
💡You might hear chanting from nearby pagodas in the early morning—it's atmospheric, not annoying.
💡The 5-bedroom villa bedrooms are separated by external stairs in some layouts, meaning you have to go 'outside' to get to the next room.
💡The lush greenery is beautiful but requires aggressive mosquito management; you might see fogging happen at dusk.
