Truly a heavenly place. Staffs remain great and consistent, even since 2017/18 I'm visiting this place. Mr Thibaud always available for anything, everything and anytime. The location is in the city but the vibe is just like a paradise. Solo and or couple, will appreciate this resort. Rooms is exotically beautiful& spacious with generous amenities. Location wise, very accessible. Starbucks is actually just feet away. Shopping's at zando & teens with daily discounts whether member or not, such a great deal. No worries of transport, tuktuk is available outside the property. Or, you can walk 10-20minutes to reach Salon, Blue Chillis, POP, & others. BKK area is also an expat friendly with many expat owned establishments. I love it here.
I really enjoyed the place and the overall ambiance of the hotel. It has a cool, beautiful, and very relaxing atmosphere. Even though I didn’t stay overnight, I had the chance to try their facilities, and I was truly impressed.
The staff were very accommodating, friendly, and attentive. They made sure everything was comfortable and were always ready to assist, which made the experience even better. The entire area was very clean and well-maintained you can really tell they take good care of the place.
I especially loved the steam sauna, dry sauna room, and the jacuzzi. Everything was perfectly prepared and so relaxing. It was a refreshing and soothing experience from start to finish.
Overall, it was such a great experience. So clean, so good I would definitely come back again! ❤️
Went to A&P for the sauna and a massage. Both of our massages were borderline bad that we didn't stay to go to the sauna. If you want a super oily rub with a nice looking masseur, you will be ok but if you go expecting a half way decent massage you will leave disappointed..
A little oasis in PP

Amazing place in the heart of Phnom Phen. If your a gay male visitor to the city you should definitely either make this your hotel or visit on one of the day passes (10€ foreginer, 6.50€ local).
Our 5-night stay was perfect, if we hadn't already had an onward itinerary, we would have stayed another 5-nights!
The complex and rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished, lots of polished concrete, greenary and pieces of art. The beds are very comfy with quality mattresses, sheets and pillows. A varied Breakfast is included, which you can enjoy in the restaurant or in your room.
Great bathrooms with separate toilet, natural soap products, tooth brushes, combs, earbuds & shampoos replenished everyday by house keeping, along with bottled water/ tea & coffee.
Bar/ Resturant in the ground floor serving, beers, banded spirits, juices, smoothies and cocktails as well as a good range of Khmer & western dishes.
The staff are phenomenal, Gee/Gue/Guye (apologies if I've spelt his name wrong!) is exceptional, really made our stay, never seen anyone work so hard! The rest of the staff are friendly, talkative and speak good English.
We had two 90 minute oil massages, with two different masseuse's, both great, highly recommended in clean, well appointed air-conditioned rooms.
The pool area is beautiful and lush with plants and we enjoyed the music selection! There is some construction noise in the area, but this didn't effect the rooms and was not overly intrusive around the pool.
The sauna/ steam room/ jacuzzi/ darker areas open to non-guests around 4pm and got much busier with locals around 8pm (midnight closing). We stayed Saturday - Thursday and each night (especially Sunday) was busy with locals and foreginers.
The sauna/ steam room/ jacuzzi areas are very dark, darker than we are used to in the west and there are steps (check it out before dark) but once your eyes accustom, it's no problem. The jacuzzi, steam room & dry sauna are hot! Which is great and a change from the lukewarm temperatures you often find.
Guests with ID can visit you room without charge if you like entertaining 😉
The resort can arrange your transfers and tours and there's tut-tuts outside.
Can't wait to visit again next year!
