Hotels Near Mangrove Forest & Beautiful Sunset in Trapeang Sangkae

I would 100% recommend Kampot Sweet Boutique. We fell in love with Kampot, both the area and the people. The hotel is quite new and even though it a bit remote still easily accessible. The hotel staff will arrange all rides, tours etc.... according to your personal choice. They are extremely kind, friendly and very helpful 🌞 We had a great tour around kampot and of the pepper fields. The hotel food was okay, many different options. If you did not feel to eat what was in their restaurant, it was quite easy to get a lift into the city area for more options. We stayed there for 3 nights then drove to Phnom Penh for one day and night (long weekend holiday) and we prefer Kampot so much better.

I chose this boutique hotel for my birthday weekend getaway. It's literally my first birthday celebration with my husband and it was horrible because we keep getting interruptions from the hotel staff. We got an incessant knock on our door TWICE during ONE day we stay there. The first time was due to their incompetent lack of preparation. They didn't prepare a spot for our car park even if we book the room one week in advance and when there are other cars coming they ask us to change our parking spot. The second time was a mistake, they thought they were knocking on another guest that they need something from. It ruined the mood and I feel like I have no peace or privacy. I will never go back and every single person going to visit Kampot I will tell them to never ever go to Phka Kravan Boutique.

Enjoyed 3 nights in kampots monkey republic. When reading reviews, please check the date. There are a small portion of dated negative reviews and I can honestly confirm we have experienced a great stay. Monkey republic grounds are stunning, the garden is beautiful, calm and relaxing. The restaurant and bar is wonderful, and every single meal has had the plate licked clean. We stayed in a private room, which had both air conditioning AND a ceiling fan, tv, fridge, lockable safe and much more. The ceiling fan is great for drowning out the sometimes slightly louder wildlife (birds) if you are a light sleeper like me. The windows are secure, and have a built in net if you wish to have your window left open. The hostel is located right in the middle of town and is a short walk or moped drive to the beaches. There is even a big supermarket a stones throw away. Excursions and mopeds can be booked with the hotel and laundry is right across the road. The rooms are clean and have everything you need. There is a slight smell in the toilets… I will agree, but this is Cambodia, where, sometimes drainage and sewage is not 5 stars. It’s not a deal breaker, it’s just a simple adjustment you need to accept in the country. The beds are comfortable and ours was clean. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and always happy to serve you. The vibes here are calm, welcoming, safe, peaceful and friendly - with the ability to turn up the pace, pool and darts are available and a huge selection of alcohol and fruit juices/smoothies from the bar. I seen a couple of reviews dissing the atmosphere - but it is absolutely perfect for us because we didn’t want 24/7 loud, crazy, drunk. I would highly recommend this to all groups, and most importantly, we would both definitely stay again! My favourite thing here is all of the monkey pictures and the cooked breakfast!

The hotel looks nice but a little bit dusty, our room also looks nice but it was full of mosquitoes which is super annoying, we had to use mosquitoes spray to totally cover ourselves all the time and be careful with the door to bathroom since bathroom is an open space with only half of the ceiling. But still we got beaten up a lot. The curtains were super dirty covered with dead insects, the AC was not too functional but they put this AC blows right on the bed which made me and and my boyfriend both sick after the tour. And the rooms are not private enough, the description says swimming pool view, but actually the swimming pool just 5 meters in front our room. Overall I like the design of the rooms but there are many details were not satisfying, especially with the price, it could be the most expensive hotel I have tried in Cambodia, but experience was seriously so so.

The hotel is new and modern, but far from the town centre. It has two small pools, neither of which looked particularly appealing, especially the one on the Boutique side. My room (311) was clean and tidy, but the bathroom had some problems. The bath was not installed properly and could have fallen over as it wasn't silicone sealed to the floor (no building safety checks in Cambodia). The bath tap had no hot water, only the shower did. The shower had no door, so the water splashed onto the floor and wall. This caused dampness in the bedroom wall. The room was supposed to be 40m2, but it was definitely smaller, even with the balcony. The hotel was also very noisy. There was a railway line next to it with passenger and freight trains passing by. Across the street, there was a house with chickens and a dog. The roosters started to crow at 4:30am and the dog barked soon after. I could not do anything about them because they belonged to a private Cambodian house. The best part of the hotel experience was the breakfast (except for the flies on the food that is sitting out) and the staff. They were all friendly.

This establishment is entered by a major construction site (with associated terrible noise) and is located right next to a major road over the New Bridge, where continuous heavy traffic (from tuktuks to the largest of trucks) create a constant and infernal noise. The exterior of the hotel looks sad and uninviting, I.e, It needs a huge and important facelift sooner rather than later! The unsmiling receptionist understood little English and spoke even less. There was no-one to assist with our baggage, and there is NO elevator on-site ... this makes an unfriendly “welcome “ even harder to swallow, when the so-called superior view room allocated on the third floor leaves one puffing and panting prior to a quick inspection. Whilst the rooms we saw were spacious enough, the bathroom leaves a lot to be desired (the shower is located virtually above the WC, making for intriguing manoeuvres)...and the decor could well be updated... All photos of this hotel must have been taken a long while ago, and certainly do NOT convey a true idea of the actual situation. That said, I feel I should congratulate the original photographer for his achievements, because even with the most professional and sophisticated equipment no-one could reproduce such results today!!! We decided very quickly to move elsewhere and, thanks to Booking.com, our cancellation charge was waived.

The resort is awesome and the staff is very attentive. Guests are really taken care of and the place is very well maintained. The only issue for all the area of Kep is the “beautification” project that is going on at the moment which is basically covering all the beach front for hundreds of meters with soil so all the resorts now have no beach or access to the sea, only a sad land of brown soil

We stayed one night at Knai Bang Chatt Resort, it is a stunning beachfront resort in Kep, Cambodia, that offers an idyllic escape. We enjoyed the ocean views, the gorgeous swimming pool, and the delicious food served at the resort's restaurants. Having lunch and dinner at The Wave is the best. Delicious food: The resort's restaurants serve up a variety of fresh, delicious food, including Khmer cuisine and Western options. If you're looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing family vacation, Knai Bang Chatt Resort is the perfect place to stay. We strong recommend.

The hotel room is very clean, the room is very big, the waiter is very friendly, the hotel breakfast is very delicious😋 and healthy, the hotel swimming pool is also very beautiful and the water is very clean, the hotel has free boating🚣I especially like the environment of the hotel, it is very beautiful😍, this hotel also It is very suitable for families to bring children to live in, it is very safe, and parents are very relieved to let their children play in the yard🥰

We 100% recommend! We stayed here 2 nights from August 31, 2019 to September 2, 2019. Very nice place, well located in Kep (<10mn from Crabs' market with tuk-tuk, <5mn from Rabbit's island departure pier). The owners are French (so are we!) and so kind. The hotel is very recent (built a couple of years ago), small (8 rooms) so intimate, the all rooms are very pleasant, each one with its unique decoration, with very nice material. Finishings are state-of-the-art, it is obvious the owners built this place working hard and paid attention to every detail. The garden (with a large and beautiful pool) is particularly oustanding and well-tended. We loved this place and will definitely come back!
