Private beaches and ocean pool. Lots of animals. Contemporary 1960s vibe but modern conveniences of course. Staff willing to take any needs on board with a smile. Buffet breakfast with lots of choices Openable windows..great if Aircon can't be turned up to a higher temp, like 26° Outside lift down to sunset restaurant or beach and pier brilliant if you're not fit enough to climb mountains The views...to die for. And pay for an upgrade the room space is amazing. Great beds. House keeping spotless The history of the hotel and location. You feel part of something special if you stop and take the time.

Lack of TV choices but that's a govt link issue affecting the hotel. Snobby geese! Would not talk to us 😁 Ocean pool hard to get down to or into if you are a bit elderly or disabled. Lack of hot water for showering. Everyday over a 5 day stay and various times. But guys, seriously Nescafe? Everywhere. No tea in the rooms. No proper coffee in buffet breakfast, just a pseudo espresso vendor. Make some brewed local coffee guys! The town. Sihanoukville has been plundered by Chinese lack of commitment. No actual centre. Western tourists not supported. Everything in Khmer or Mandarin. Buildings deserted mid build. Very sad.

Very nice hotel (with really cool history) and beautiful pool. Food was delicious and beach was nice! They had gym, ping pong table and pool table so always something to do.

The staff was not service minded what so ever. They were nice, but incredibly confused, this goes for the staff both at the pool, the bar and the restaurant. It would take half an hour for the staff to bring out a glass of whine, with 5 people doing nothing. Sometimes we would get our drinks after we finished our dinner and they didn’t check on us ones of we needed anything else or wanted to pay, we always had to go find them ourselves. Felt like they were completely lost all of them.

This hotel exudes character and history. The atmosphere and overall experience was excellent and although the hotel had a few minor repairs needed such as tiles missing on the infinity pool, but this did not detract from our .experience. The New Year buffet on the beach was amazing and the best we've ever attended. Room was large and comfortable and had a great view of the bay. The staff including the general manager worked so hard to ensure everyone has had a special night and throughout our stay he service was first class.

Nothing everything was perfect

The staff is very friendly, and the room is clean and tidy. This is my second time here, and everything is once again at the highest level! There are monkeys on the property — you need to be cautious, but they add a special vibe. The included breakfasts are great: a wide variety of dishes and everything is delicious. The beach is a separate love: clean, almost deserted. The perfect place for recharging and relaxing! 🥹😍

Excellent , the staffs , the buffet style with varieties of choice, clean , western and Asian culinaries with lots of choiced of pastries and bread too beside Asian food. The room is spacious with the beach view. Garden and the lay out is beautiful, lots of pictures hang on the wall had told us that once upon a time the hotel was a heritage International hotel and was visited with manny worlds leader..

The air condition seems and old ducting ,which need to be in service. I notice it when I had an allergic on the first night. But it was solved when I asked the front office staff to help me purchasing the claritin tablet for me.I recovered soon , i did not use much Aircondition to minimise this ptoblem.

The swimming pool

The connecting door of 2 rooms. Other guests were able to open the connection door to my room while I was resting.

Historic, well appointed hotel with excellent facilities and even better potential. Have a read of a history of this place, so interesting! Mad to think it was once the tallest building in all of Cambodia and now would not even make the top 100 of tall buildings in Sihanoukville! Great view from the rooms, decent breakfast. Beautiful beach pool, with an excellent sunset.

So much potential and I am sure much is out of the hands of the current management, but the fact that black, smelly inky, possibly sewage water is pumped 24/7 into the sea and indeed the hotel private beach from the hotel grounds has something to do with the legacy of the construction of the hotel. However this can not continue because it is gross, off putting and just completely out of keeping with the rest of the place, which clearlt Dara have done much to improve and should be commended for!

We had a very comfortable room with balcony and sea view. Short walk to pool area and to reception (the hotel offers a cart to reception on request but we didn’t use that service). The breakfast was great (quite few options for different tastes). My both sons had great time at the pool and the sea.

Our room was infested by mosquitoes. We had to go to town and buy Raid (insect spray) to treat the mosquitoes. After that all was good and he rest of the holiday was pleasant.

We loved the pools. The staff was very friendly and responsive to our requests. The buffet breakfast was fantastic and considerably upgraded from our prior visits. The food at the restaurant was very good as well. The beach was beautiful. We were happy with our room. It was quiet and comfortable.

Daytime guests.... The Internet in our room was not good. But 4g speeds for Smart compensated.

The king pod we stayed in was really good! Monkeys everywhere! A great experience. The staff were all really attentive and lovely.

Sadly what let this place down for us was the sea side pool - it is tired (run down), tiles are missing, the pool by the hotel is green in places and could do with more cleaning / chemicals. Only one restaurant was open.
