The food was good and the villas were top-notch. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Poly 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice and nature’s love.

The quality of customer service leaves a bit to be desired though. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanny 29 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great piece of history. ##### Vanny Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Room was very nice, restaurant was very good.

The breakfast is ok. It’s close to a fairly nice beach and it’s a nice “jungle” walk down to the beach. The pool and close surroundings are quite bad. Nice view over the ocean. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/94D1B88F8638B97A9887F0558B8FADAC11847DA01664285310346.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7469977EDBF48168DB3E38089FC731C70350F6021664285304124.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3BD883620A7E46B25663FC54FDCFE5B200752C041664285308002.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lennart Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darci 10 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 60’s chic! Does not look as old as it is. Loved the pools and the workout room. Buffer and room service food was delicious! I highly recommend it ##### Darci Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Audrey 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is beautiful especially the Ocean Pool…you have access to the pool and beach simultaneously…the food from Sunset Restaurant was delicious, tasty and hot while the pool food was cold and insipid…not sure why! The drinks were great but need more alcohol…Happy Hour was on every day…breakfast was on par…cordial and professional employees…they were real polite and on point. Housekeeping was always timely and helpful. They only need to spruce up the landscape…Overall it’s a great place to stay. ##### Audrey Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Arthur 18 Jan 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### private but old Great location with its own private beach and surrounding area which makes it good for not having to leave the hotel. 2 pools and lots for space to do activities including table tennis, pool etc. The hotel is old and needs a disparate makeover to bring into the modern world. The rooms are big and mostly clean. Not sure if it was quite season but hardly anyone around (staff included). ##### Arthur Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeremy 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not truly luxury. Good breakfast buffet. The hotel is basically good. And the breakfast buffet is great. But in the first room they gave me, the bathroom smelled of raw sewage. They gave me a second room when I asked, but that room did not have hot water. I didn’t ask for yet another room change since I was leaving the next day anyway. ##### Jeremy Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kaori 12 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 清潔でした。 ##### Kaori Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chrissula 23 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Die Zimmer haben eine schöne Grösse, die Dusche ist auch sehr angenehm, man fühlt sich wohl im Zimmer. Wir hatten immer wieder Probleme mit der Eingangstüre, was aber immer gleich souverän u nett gelöst wurde. Fand es sehr schade, dass wir den Billard- sowohl den Pingpongtisch nicht wirklich nutzen konnten, da die Klimaanlage nicht funktioniert hat. Die Bar im Hotel war auch nie geöffnet. Abends gab es nur die Möglichkeit sich im Sunset Restaurant zu verpflegen. Am Pool konnte man sich zwar verweilen, aber wenn es geregnet hat, was öfters vorkommt, ist der Boden so glatt u gefährlich. Ich bin ausgerutscht u habe mir heftigst den Hinterkopf aufgeschlagen am Boden. Es sollten unbedingt Schilder angebracht werden u darauf hinweisen, dass es glatt ist! Ich denke das Hotel hatte sicherlich mal seine Glanzzeiten, aber diese sind verblast… Man ist dort in Sihanoukville so im Ausseits u weiss gar nicht was mit sich anstellen… ##### Chrissula Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexander 18 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Tolle Lage-guter Service-renovierungsbedürftig Ich war 3 Nächte in diesem Hotel. Das Hotel liegt außerhalb der "Kasinostadt", sehr idyllisch. Man bekommt von dem Rummel, den Hochhäusern und den Bauruinen nichts mit. Man sieht sie nur aus der Ferne. Die ganze Hotelanlage ist eigentlich sehr schön. Mein Zimmer Nr. 604 (Hauptgebäude) war renoviert, man hat einen seitlichen Meerblick, der Blick gerade aus ist durch die Bäume verstellt. Die Dusche war leider schimmelig, die Klimaanlage alt, ließ sich nicht gut regulieren (zu starkes Gebläse). Der Bereich der Fassade, der Außenanlagen um den Pool herum (an der Lobby) bedarf dringend einer Renovierung. Das Hotel (Hauptgebäude) ist sauber, aber in die Jahre gekommen. Ich war im Februar dort, das Hauptgebäude war nur gering belegt. Absolut loben möchte ich die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Der Service sowohl an der Reception als auch beim Frühstück war perfekt. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist perfekt. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr professionell. Sehr schön und renoviert ist das Sunset Restaurante, das Essen und der Service war ebenfalls perfekt. Positiv vom Hotel hebt sich der Ocean Pool ab, der ist sehr gepflegt. Dort sind auch fast alle Gäste, der hoteleigene sehr schöne Strand und der Pool hinter der Reception wurden kaum besucht. ![Lobby](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6E7FAD84FCD9B88215B6E02EBA41FE580A7D516C1676706122237.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Zimmer 604](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/125DCA700A7CE612ABD0F24829E8D84555A9CE7B1676706120392.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![seitlicher Meerblick ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/05F486FB78E79FAE6BE9696E4346732B8A99D0131676706128808.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![renoviertes Sunset Restaurante](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3672D338B9BC7D92427133EA79CE22B98EC6339B1676706120751.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alexander Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Pauline 19 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Cet établissement a un potentiel énorme. Malheureusement il a été laissé à l’abandon depuis quelques années et tout est vétuste et à refaire. ##### Pauline Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### SUNAO 19 Jul 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 部屋がカビ臭い！ 設備が古い！ 庭の手入れが全くされていないので、落ち葉がたくさんあった。 もう2度と泊まることはない！ 最悪の3日間でした。 ##### SUNAO Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mapp, 2 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Love the beautiful gardens. Friendly staffs. The hotel is old and not well kept. The window facing the ocean needs cleaning. The A/C air filter needs cleaning/replacement, because we started getting sinus after two nights from the dust blowing from dirty filter. Hotel could use a fresh new paint job. ##### Mapp, Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 24 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 11 Dec 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 老朽化が進むホテル 老舗高級ホテルとのことで宿泊。 老朽化がかなり進んでおり、建物が修繕されていないままになっており、見栄えも悪い。 また、宿泊者数が少ない理由からか、館内の照明も大部分消されており、廃墟のような気持ちもした。また室内も飲み途中の水のボトルもそのままになっており、清掃が行き届いていない。その割に、老舗高級ホテルの価格のままになっており、コストパフォーマンスが悪い。 建物そのものや立地が良いため、本当にもったいない。リニューアルして、サービスも変われば良いホテルに戻れるとは思いが、今のオーナーでは難しい？ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the friendly staff and the pool was the best feature. We had booked a pod room but on arrival were given a twin in the main building, we were happy with this so did not mention it to the staff. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Feb 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 이용후기 잠을 자야해서 이용했음. 기대 수준 보다 낮음 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### DAVID 17 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing stay without TV TV not working, otherwise excellent ##### DAVID Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Les Jardins du Marais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Les-Jardins-Du-Marais.h20931.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibersol Almuñecar Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almunecar-Hotels-Almunecar-Playa-Spa-Hotel.h1468289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-London-Hyde-Park.h436269.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Bordeaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d6023322-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Dunoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d5587-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Generator Barcelona ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Generator-Barcelona.h5265915.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Manchester-Airport.h7946506.Hotel-Information) > > [JOIVY Luxury George Street Apartments: Edinburgh Suite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Luxury-George-Street-Apartments-Edinburgh-Suite.h36984583.Hotel-Information) > > [Point Hotel Barbaros](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Point-Hotel-Barbaros.h479503.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-The-Tor-Park.h13358867.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Malta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Malta-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d111-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Breakfast in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Breakfast.0-0-d178279-thotelwithbreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Ostend (OST)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/ost/leeds-to-ostende) > > [Flights from Kingston (KIN) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/kin/lgw/kingston-to-london) > > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Killarney (KIR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/kir/bristol-to-killarney) > > [Flights from Quito (UIO) to Santa Rosa (GPS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/uio/gps/quito-to-isla-baltra) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Larne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Larne.d182720.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Gorges du Verdon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gorges-Du-Verdon-Provence-Alpes-Cote-dAzur.d6361356.Attraction) > > [Bansko Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bansko.d6046713.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Rute](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rute.dx6124398) > > [Visit Leigh-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leigh-On-Sea.dx6358945) ---
