    Amazing short break - just far enough out of the city centre to feel like really being away. We were staying as a bday gift for my partner and could not have asked for more! Staff are incredibly attentive and we had a private dinner in our room courtyard that was personalised. I’d recommend the private dining experience for any occasion. The breakfast in the restaurant was absolutely delicious and so many options to choose! Excellent quality food and beverages all round. We stayed in a courtyard room that was comfortable and well decorated. The amenities were fabulous. We felt very treated, and will definitely be back!

    We did order the special dinner for our anniversary. At the time we ordered we did not realize that all the options for this special dinner were normal options on the regular dinner menu. We thought the food was going to be something special that was not on the standard menu. We requested the candlelight dinner on our balcony. There were no decorations or candles set up for the dinner. Not very romantic.

    Staff was wonderful. Atmosphere and view was great. Food was excellent.

    The food is really below expectations for this rate and such a place. I tried pizzas, Khmer food and Asian meals, and it was not good. The breakfast will make you feel full and is probably the best part in food, but still.

    Amazing place, beautiful and helps to disconnect with the city life. The pool and the rooms are amazing

    I really like that this place is very quiet and restful. The room is very spacious and comfortable. There aren't many units here and that's a plus cos it's cosy and even when there are guests, you still get lots of personal space.

    Nothing, we had a great weekend!

    Loved our room, comfy bed, nice bath tab. Kids loved the complementary cookie jar and fruits basket. Breakfast was amazing, on top of quick bites(selection of cereals, toast, danish pastry, fruits), we had variety of main dishes to choose from the menu. Lovely staff who ran extra miles for us-with two small children we highly appreciated the flexibility of all the staff to accommodate our request. We needed to leave the table abruptly as our kids started to cry and sleep, the staff swiftly arranged rest of our dinner to our room. It was lovely to finish our scrumptious dinner in our room! Also although it was after 7pm, the reception swiftly responded to our request to organize a trip to nearby silk island!

    The food at the restaurant wasn’t great and overpriced, $12 wagyu hamburger, was over cooked and dense, I asked for medium rare, on a plus note the cocktails were good.

    Great hotel, nicely designed, the suite was perfect and was the private courtyard garden, pool and the views were superb.
