The resort is located in a nice and quiet part of the town with a nice stretch of beach. We got a free upgrade to a very nice room. We had a great dinner at the restaurant. Very friendly staff all around providing excellent service whenever needed. The breakfast has a great selection of Khmer as well as western food. The beach is combed to remove washed up rubbish. The property is slightly dated but I highly recommend this place.

The hotel is good but the city around it is a complete building site. The roads are terrible, no pavements and with all the construction work the dust if you go outside the hotel is dreadful. This is not the hotels fault but it makes it a disappointing place to stay. It will take years for this to be solved but if and when it is this hotel will be a nice place to stayw

Good beach area but that’s about it. The rooms are dated and poorly lit. The lights are so dim you can hardly see anything. Over grown palm trees block any views from the room (we booked ocean view rooms). The WiFi speed in our room was so slow (less than 0.5 MBps) that it was unusable. The worst part was they made us wait at checkout when they went to check our room to see if we took anything from the mini bar. They wouldn’t believe us when we told them we didn’t take a cup of instant noodle and two bottles of water. They made us wait while they resent a staff to recheck it again. What a horrible customer relationship. After we spent nearly $2000 usd for 3 rooms somehow they thought we would cheat on not paying for a cup of instant noodle. We certainly didn’t travel half around the world to steal and eat a cup of noodle. We won’t be staying here again.

This should be everyone's first choice of hotel
This hotel was superb in almost all ways. The staff are super friendly and personal and always have a smile on their faces and provide excellent service at all times of the day. I arrived 7 AM on my check in day and to my surprise they let me have access to my room straight away even though check in time is 15 PM. This was a welcoming surprise after a late flight. One night at 4.30 AM I needed to go to a pharmacy and they sent me there with a hotel car without charge. The staff here really provide genuine service The rooms are great with comfortable beds and all necessary facilities. The beach are right in connection to the pool area and are magnificent with white sand. The food in the restaurant are tasty and the breakfast offers excellent choices. This will always be my choice of hotel when traveling to sihanoukville in the future. The hotel was a big part that my trip became a true pleasure.

The staff were really friendly, but: -7 of 9 of our family members ended up with bad stomachs (and worse, had two kids with projectile vomit) and we only ate at the resort. Flies were everywhere around the restaurants and obviously food prep is an issue. -it seemed like half of the staff were new (often took 10 minutes to get a bill in the restaurants) -the gingerbread houses for sale were partially made with a GLUEGUN!!! I'm not kidding. -our room was wet - tons of condensation on the ceiling and floor was damp, could not get dry even with AC on high; switched rooms and no problem. -no signs anywhere on the property about where the fitness center or kids club were. (There were signs everywhere, but useless ones with pictures of dishes from the restaurants with no info.) -the casino looked like the inside of an abandoned department store. -nice beaches but the water turned into sludge on the third day (there were storms in the area) and there were diapers washing up on shore at night. Not exactly their fault, and the beach was cleaned up each morning, but a factor in our experience. -guests are forced into paying for an outrageously priced Christmas dinner. The info on Expedia was vague about this. There was a good spread, but nothing up to like what we've had at nice hotels before. All in all we were very disappointed as the resort was supposedly 5 stars and cost over $180 USD per night.

We liked being near the beach even though the water was not clear. We also like the friendly staff. Dislikes: 1) no steps into pool and "ladders" are poles rather than steps. Very difficult to get in. 2) rooms on second floor damp, musty, even wet with water dripping off ceiling. 3) very poor lighting in rooms. Had to put make-up on outside and could not read. 4) food is mediocre, especially main restaurant and we all got food poisoning.

Thanks for your comment. It is really disappointing to hear this kind of review however our peak season covering 1000 people everyday are definitely not easy to manage. It is also sort of estrange to hear food poisoning out of many guest. We have forwarded your comments to our Food & beverage team to look after this issue. Have a greatful new year!

I’ll start by saying the Chinese “guests” have ruined Sihanoukville! I came to Sokha 4 years ago, I was amazed and fell in love with the private beach and had many late night conversations with other guests. Coming from Australia but with Cambodian heritage it’s sad to see how much has changed for the worse at Sokha and Sihanoukville overall. My overwhelming issue and concern is from the Chinese who make up 99% of all guests who now attend Sokha. They have completely ruined the experience for our group and many other non-Chinese guests. From hocking up flem in the pool, walking around spitting all over the floor to constantly being pushed in front of in line like we were invisible. Their lack of manners and consideration for other guests is digesting. I thought I’d give them the benefit of the doubt but soon found its was the majority of these Chinese guests who acted this way. The white sands and crystal clear clean beach waters of the past have been replaced with green merky water and floating rubbish at the private beach from the influx of Chinese construction. The rooms and amenities are as I remember them 4 years ago not really and issue rooms are ok but AC was on the lowest setting but didn’t feel very cold. We were so excited to revisit Sokha but have been extremely disappointed by the infiltration of Chinese to the area and influence they have on the Cambodian Hotel group. Sad to say but we will never return to Sihanoukville.

We enjoyed the beach and the pool. The room was also very comfortable. We were slightly disappointed with the food and we all got sick for more than half our stay. Not sure why, as we travel regularly and rarely fall ill, we only suspect the food. Otherwise, when we were healthy, we enjoyed our time there.

Great stay
We arrived, having had a terrible experience on Koh Rong to this grand 5 star resort, exactly what we needed. We were early, but were allowed to avail of the facilities while our room was being prepared. While laying out we were asked were we staying here and promptly explained our situation. The next day we went to the beach and we were asked again were we staying there. Bit irritating. No one else was asked this. we believe it was because we did not avail of the resort towels. Other than that, the breakfast was the best selection we had in Asia. And the most delicious. The room was always clean and, they provided me with a cake, candles and a note for my birthday which I loved and was very grateful. The service here is fantastic. If at the pool, there is table service. Overall a great stay here and would recommend.
