Long Beach Resort Koh Rong

We stayed at the hotel for 5 days. Overall, the impression was not bad. The bungalow was a bit odd (the shower had wooden partitions right in the room), and there was no space for clothes at all – no closet, no shelves. Two bathrobes hung on hangers on a small rail, but they were taken away the next day. The bungalow needs a cosmetic renovation – it looks quite tired. The buffet breakfast was decent and varied. The beach was good, with enough sun loungers and umbrellas for everyone, even considering people not staying at the hotel. Definitely use insect repellent, as we got bitten quite badly and never figured out by what. I would recommend this hotel to those who seek peace, quiet, and solitude – the number of people only increases on weekends and in the evenings to watch the beautiful sunsets, as the hotel is located on the 'sunset' side. A huge plus of the hotel is its magnificent beach with 'singing' sand!

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.
