Koh Rong Sanloem is a lovely peaceful island. We stayed at Island Center Point which was wonderful. The water is warm, we swam a few times, plus went kayaking. All very safe. There is a small shop in Saracen bay where you can buy essentials, plus there are a few places offering laundry facilities. You can also go hiking to other beaches or the lighthouse, bring plenty of water with you!
The beach is great for relax and nature exploring. You have several walkways that guide you towards the Sunset beach (a bit steppy but worthy), the Lighthouse (amazing views for just 1$), the carving stones,...)
If you want peace and quiet and chill out every day by the beach in hammocks, go scuba diving for some exceptional marine life and coral viewing, then this is the place for you. Getting around the island could be tough as paved roads are still on the wish list. You have go around in rented motorbikes or tractor mobikes.......Gr8 place none the less.
I loved Paradise Villas on Saracen beach it was the quiet end of the beach. The swimming and relaxing were amazing. The staff and guests are friendly the food great, lots of other restaurants to walk to. You can walk to other beaches or take a boat trip. Very relaxing if you want to get away from it all. The beaches were kept clean and the water was clear lots of fish to see if snorkelling. It's not a party destination. If it's a simple beach holiday you want this is a great destination after rushing around the rest of Cambodia.
Most people here love lying on the beach, and they are everywhere. Instead, I love hiking and there are trails to all of the beaches. Some easy, some challenging. Laguna Resort even has a trail guide if you aren't sure which trail to go on, or if you are worried about getting lost.
I stayed at Mpai Bay, so this review is based on a four night’s stay there with one excursion and independent exploring. Overall, it’s a beautiful island and well worth staying. There’s good snorkelling and swimming all over the island (mostly when taken to prime spots on a boat tour). The restaurants serve a variety of lovely dishes at bargain prices and excursions are really good value. On the downside, there is a lot of rubbish about when you leave the popular areas (discarded and rubbish that has been washed ashore). Sadly, this seems to be the case all over the country.
The location was incredible, right on the beach... literally. They will drive you from the pier to the hotel. All the restaurants and bars are on the same beach, so you can easily walk at night . The staff is wonderful and the walk to the rooms/accommodations is beautiful and you feel like in the jungle .Superquiet, just the sound of the cicasas at night .The room was comfortable and cute. The happy hour by the pool was great after a day of exploring . The staff is super helpful.

In paradise! Very comfortable brand new bungalows with great A/C and modern bathroom and a terrace to the sea. Perfect to enjoy a coctail in the evening.... We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed every single moment. The bungalows are located quietly at one side of the bay, but only a short walk away from the other hotels / restaurants. Food (breakfast / dinner) was wonderful. The owner and his wife are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Very helpful staff at reception, they helped us book a minivan ticket from Sihanoukville to Phnom Pehn, online tickets were not available. Rooms and bathroom are clean and new. Breakfast - good options, they can adjust to vegetarians if you ask them. For lunch, dinner, drinks we walked till the next hotels - Sara resort, Eden, Onederz etc. Beach is amazing, very clean, white sand, private. Not many people around.

The location of this hotel is really beautiful. The beach is lovely and so remote - it’s just two or 3 resorts along it. The aircon worked well and the shower was good. Lovely quiet night’s sleep - no music from other hotels or anything. We enjoyed the food from the restaurant, and they also have a pool table, table football, and nice tables. You eat just next to the water so you have the sound of the waves.

The bar / restaurant area overlooking the beach is cozy and inviting. The bungalows are either on the beach or very close to the beach. This resort is situated a ways from the loud and busy hub that occupies the middle of Saracen Bay. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The beach in front of the hotel is beautiful and clean.
Koh Rong Sanloem
Silence, peace, trees and shadow to take a rest from hot and sun. The resort has a very big potential, but there's still a lot to work on it, which is not easy on the Koh Rong Samloem island. I guess the staff does the best they can. The rooms and the villas are big enough and very cozy, perfect for a romantic or relaxing vacation.
Koh Rong Sanloem
The Cambodian staff was really nice, the room was very small, the price of water is really expensive compared to the water prices on the rest of the island, there is also no option to refill bottles, we wanted to stay more than a week, we changed hotels after 4 days, the wifi in the room was really bad, no value for the expensive price

The best place to stay while on this island, the bungalow was very cute, the beach beautiful with sunset in the evening and glowing plankton at night. It is not a hotel but a community and you can feel it in the friendly atmospehere. The food was delicious as well!
