Mountain View Hotels in Sihanoukville

I have absolutely loved my stay here! My room was just perfect with a little plunge pool directly facing brilliant sunsets each night. The bed is massive and super comfy and they use lovely linen and fluffy towels! The staff are all so friendly and always make an effort to say hi whenever they see you. There are plenty of sunbeds and the beach is gorgeous. There are a few negatives but these are only for info only really. The resort is just that .. a resort. There’s not a lot around here .. a few makeshift mini marts and a couple of local restaurants. Apparently it takes 1 hour 45 mins to walk to Saracen Bay where there’s a bit more going on and I decided against that! I did get the taxi boat to Saracen Bay which I highly recommend, but it was quite treacherous getting on and off the boats and ensured I wasn’t in a hurry to do it again! The taxi is not free .. which I think is a shame based on the room rate .. and costs $10 return. Perhaps it would be more popular to do a ride there and back each day rather than separate trips for $10 a pop? I think the hotel could benefit from having a shop with products in like beauty products and chocolate and maybe offer some essential services like waxing in the spa? Just ideas to consider .. I will be sad to leave this little bit of heaven and hope to come back one day .. it’s been just lovely .. thank you 🌴

What I liked: The excellent, comfortable bed and pillows, pristine white linens and towels. The hotel staff contacted me in advance and helped me book ferry tickets and a car from the pier to the hotel. The hotel restaurant served quite delicious dishes. Breakfast was also very good, despite the limited selection. You can use paddleboards for free at the beach. Snorkeling from the shore was also decent; we saw two cuttlefish. The beach is a dream, with one small caveat. There were always enough sun loungers. What I disliked: The beach was littered with plastic remnants from the sandbags used to reinforce the shoreline. One evening, we ordered a bottle of Prosecco at sunset. The waiter opened it and threw the foil directly onto the sand, shocking us with such disregard for this beautiful place. Another morning, guests at the neighboring table on the beach had Coke brought to them. By lunchtime, no one had come to clear the glasses and cans. By sunset, the same cans were still lying on the sand; the glass cups, however, seemed to have been collected. There were also many disappointments with the room: everything was shoddily done, built in a hurry, the furniture was stained with paint, the rug and hat in the room were torn, and in the huge shower, there wasn't a single hook or towel holder. There's also no shower curtain, so the toilet was always wet. Half of the light switches didn't work, and the switches by the bed were swapped. When you leave the room and take the key card, the light above the entrance also turns off, making it quite an adventure to return in the dark and climb the stairs. There's a refrigerator, but it didn't work, and this was the case in two different rooms. At the entrance to the bungalow and the restaurant, there are hoses to wash sand off your feet, but none of them worked. My husband took one apart and cleaned it, and then it worked. Conclusion: With proper management and care, this place could turn into paradise. Things to be prepared for: In the evenings, there are many mosquitoes or gnats on the beach; they bite hard and itch for a long time. Repellents are essential. Within walking distance, there's only the neighboring cafe and nothing else. This could be both an advantage and a disadvantage for some.

The water quality was really poor, with a strong disinfectant and sour smell. The pool water was even worse – my friend broke out in a rash all over after swimming. Breakfast was terrible, with very few options. The restaurant next to the hotel played loud rock music until 2:30 AM, and there were incredibly loud bird calls every night right next to the hotel, making it impossible to sleep. The shower water temperature was too low; it was practically a cold shower. I definitely won't be staying here again; the value for money is just too low.

The location is great, very close to the city center, though it was a bit noisy at night.

Quite average, stayed for two nights, there was no hot water in a cabin or a tent. The tent is a bit noisy by the sea and the public bathroom, but the bathroom is quite clean. The cabin has a separate bathroom. The sheets are hand-washed, kind of that...this beach is very convenient to watch the sunrise. Be careful not to try to wash the clothes with clean water, and I don’t know what water is, it turns my white clothes yellow before washing. Just like iron rusting. The only better boss can communicate in a little Chinese is more convenient

This hostel / hotel is amazing! Mosquito nets to sleep, fan, very clean, showers and toilets cleaned every morning. The common area is really nice, net, swing and seats, you have the choice! Direct access for snorkeling and watching the sunset. The manager is very nice as well as the rest of the staff. Very well located!
