The Secret Garden Koh Rong Reviews

Best place to stay on Pagoda Beach. Hotel is located at the end of the beach which is away from the noise of other hotels. Also, the sand and quality of beach is much better. The staff is very friendly and willing to do what they can to help make your stay better. I asked for local dishes not on the menu and they were more than willing to make them. The staff works very hard with no complaints. Would highly recommend staying here if you want peace, quiet, and a very relaxing atmosphere.

Pros: - the most beautiful beach I've seen in my life. White sand as thin as flour. Transparent water. Fish swimming around, seashells, crabs... - kids love it. There's almost no waves. You can walk 50m into the sea and the water just reaches your waist. Great for little kid. Our 1.5 y.o. kid loved playing in the water. - the restaurant of the hotel serves fusion food. Delicious and not pricey. The neighboring hotel Your and Me has a restaurant that makes more traditional khmer food that is also delicious. - the room is spacious, bright, with an incredible view. Anyway, you will spend the whole day outside. - for 100$ you can take a boat and do fishing, snorkeling, touring the island. - the hotel has free kayaks, paddles. Can improve: - the staff is very laid back. They are very nice but at the restaurant for instance, better go to the bar to order I saw people do that rather than waiting for someone to service you. Everyone seems ok with that. Cons: - the shower is outdoor. So washing outside trying to avoid mosquitoes is not great. One night we had a visitor, a huge spider fell on my wife while she was giving bath to our kid, it was the size of my hand. Not a great experience. But we'll this is nature. Can't fault the hotel. - we staid at a double room the night before. And the only difference was just a few intelligent change in furniture : trash in with a lid, glass door in the restroom so natural light comes in, a bathtub that was not really useful. For these small changes the price difference is huge. Important Note: I learnt unfortunately that the island is infested with sand fleas. All the hotels are facing this issue. A bite is not dangerous but bothersome if you're allergic which was my case. My wife and two kids had no issue. But I was bitten on my back because there was some sand on my bedsheet and the sand fleas had a feast at night. My back itched crazy for one week. The bad thing is it seems hotels have no pharmacy. So be prepared and bring your own topical cream or cortisone cream, and antihistamine just in case. It seems I was the only one in the hotel to have this issue but googling it I found a few bloggers describing having this issue. Note 2: there's a ferry that can bring you directly from Sihanoukville to the hotel's beach, one per day. We took the GTVC to LongSet Beach Pier, then had a taxi, 5$ per person. We did that. It was a smooth ride. The taxi was a great experience

Beautiful beach , snowy sand , clean water and clean and spacious room

Just awesome! Quiet,private and peaceful..A day stay wont be enough and staff are helpful and friendly..The beach is just breathtaking..Ill definitely come back!

Refused free cancellation even though there were flash floods and the request was sent on the same day of the deadline. Book somewhere else if you don’t want to risk it!

I had a good rest. I am satisfied.ㅎ Advantages 1. I think it is the best place to enjoy swimming (Among Pagoda Beach) 2. The sea view from the room is really pretty. 3. The mattress condition was good. Disadvantages 1. The food is not as tasty as other accommodations. (The price is cheap) 2. The room condition was not good. A lot of ants and cockroaches greeted me....

I saw a beautiful sunrise. There was a band on the weekend night. I ordered a seafood barbecue on the beach, accompanied by a glass of white wine. I walked on the beach feeling a little tipsy and looked up at the starry sky.

The scenery drove almost everything. I don't think the service is particularly good. The accommodation facilities are average, and the food in particular is not very tasty. However, I was satisfied with good friends and beautiful scenery.

It was a nice, very well-maintained hotel. The food was also delicious. It was a wonderful hotel that I would like to visit again someday. Thank you to all the staff.

Overall it's good. This is my second time staying here. There are more mosquitoes this time. I hope my house will be closer to the restaurant next time.

The accommodation is clean and the staff are friendly.

Hygiene: very clean. Sand like snow. service: good Facilities: good Environment: good There is a reason why the surrounding business is better. I got up at 6 o'clock this morning to watch the sunrise. People were already cleaning the beach, and then it took 20 minutes for the staff of the hotel next door to come out to work one after another.

Wrong order, no refund

Dined here for lunch and dinner on a four night stay at neighbouring You&Me - staff so friendly, really tasty food (especially desserts!) and cocktails across a varied menu. With the exception of the fish tacos which I’d steer clear of, on the whole I’d definitely recommend.
