Bel hôtel dans un joli cadre préservé face à une mer turquoise
Pros:

L’emplacement , pagoda beach est une plage propre et très préservée ce qui n’est peas toujours le cas dans l’île. Hébergement confortable les pieds dans l’eau. Personnel sympathique, très bon restaurant , carte variée. Packet et canoë à disposition

Cons:

Un buffet de petit déjeuner comme dans un hôtel économique avec petit plus 1 plat à choisir de bonne qualité. Decoration minimaliste des chambres, ce n’est pas la priorité visiblement dommage car pour le prix (100 à 130 euros par nuit) on s’attend à une belle décoration
Taxi ou tuk tuk cher pour se rendre à Longset beach coeur animé de l’île

Belle plage et ambiance relax
Pros:

Personnel au top
Très bon service
La plus belle plage du secteur sans aucun doute
Restaurant correct et en effet moins cher que les autres à côté
Hôtel très calme et relax avec chambres bien décorées
Douche extérieure
Ambiance bien tranquille face a la mer

Cons:

Pdj pourrait être mieux - mais ils ont du bon café (et manque la bière pression qu’ils n’ont pas)
Literie à revoir
C’est à peu près tout de qu’on peut reprocher

Nuestra estancia en Secret Garden
Pros:

El personal fue excelente, siempre dispuestos y profesionales, resolviendo todo con amabilidad y de forma eficaz. La ubicación es de ensueño, probablemente la mejor de la isla. Las habitaciones muy cómodas y todo muy limpio. La comida del restaurante excelente y a muy buen precio. Sin duda alguna de todo nuestro viaje por Camboya este ha sido el mejor alojamiento en todos los sentidos.

Kleines Paradies
Pros:

Hübsche Häuschen am saubersten und schönsten Strand von Koh Rong. Das Personal war super freundlich, hat sich um die Fährtickets gekümmert, und ich konnte unkompliziert einen Roller mieten (ist empfehlenswert, um die Insel zu erkunden).

Cons:

Genug Mückenspray einpacken! Es gibt Sandfliegen.

Pros:

+ The beach is absolutely stunning, and what makes it even better is that it’s cleaned regularly, so it really looks like a paradise beach

+ The staff are very welcoming; they always have a big smile and provide excellent service (even when something happens at night, they are there to assist you)

+ The design of the whole hotel is amazing — Scandinavian minimalism mixed with a tropical Cambodian touch. I loved it!

+ The rooms are beautifully designed, the beds are very comfortable, and everything is fresh and clean

+ The hotel is perfect for anyone who wants peace and tranquility, as it’s located in a very remote part of Koh Rong

Cons:

The worst part of the whole hotel for me was the restaurant.

Breakfast is included in the price, but it’s very basic. There are even some options that you have to pay extra for, which is quite surprising considering how expensive the hotel is overall and how simple the breakfast is. On top of that, the quality wasn’t great either, as I got food poisoning after eating Eggs Benedict on my first morning here.

The regular menu is much better than the breakfast, that’s for sure, but it still felt a bit underwhelming, and unfortunately the food didn’t agree with my stomach. And the issue is that because this hotel is so remote there aren’t really other restaurants to choose from in the area so you have to eat here.

The waiters in general were absolutely lovely, but there was one guy who was quite moody — one day he would be very friendly, and the next he would be quite rude. They also need to tone down the upselling, as one staff member was so persistent that it became quite annoying after a while.

Also, they need to do something about the bats living in the shrubs next to the pool, which fly over it in the evening, as well as the stray dogs that wander onto the beach and approach guests.
