    Not much, maybe the villa furniture could be upgraded and the AC modernized, as ours could only run on fan mode.

    The resort is ideally located in the middle of Saracen Bay and is a good value-for-money option. The villas are cosy, although the furniture is quite dated. The breakfast is plentiful and tasty: you can order anything from the menu. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they even refunded a portion of the tour we booked because we got a worse service than expected. Overall, would stay again.

    Located in a peaceful corner of the island, with a gorgeous beachfront. Only a short 10-minute walk to the mart and lively bars/restaurants. The staff were dedicated and eager to please. Definitely planning to return!

    Overly critical here but maybe 1 or 2 more options (or variants) on the breakfast menu. Still no points deducted from me on this.

    Located in a quiet part of Saracen Bay but within a 5 min walk of numerous shops, bars and restaurants for choice. This place is unreal! Stunning waterfront villas, spotlessly clean and well-appointed, we enjoyed nothing more than waking each morning, walking 20-30 metres and hitting the warm water first thing. Each villa has a hose out front to wash sandy feet, a lovely veranda with chair, table and couch to relax, decent air con inside, fridge, good showers, the list goes on.... On the beach, they provide sunloungers, hammocks and some free water sports equipment and are more than happy to arrange any additional tours. Food in the restaurant is very good, nice selection and well presented. Finally the staff.... Exceptional! Helpful at every turn, eager to assist and each encounter delivered with a genuine smile. Wouldn't stay anywhere else!

    Nothing in particular

    Great resort just in front of the beach. It's located in a quite area of Saracen Bay and maybe 7/10 mins by walk from the restaurants and shops on the beach. Breakfast is good and also the restaurants.

    Nothing could be better. There are a few mosquitoes; but where is a tropical beach without them? The staff in most restaurants put burning coils under the tables at night and this really helped. Otherwise normal sprays and covering up worked as well as anywhere. Fans at night are a necessity, and aircon works a treat.

    Location was amazing; our little wooden 'hong'/cabin was right on the lovely Saracen Beach. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough to help us. The breakfasts at the restaurant were excellent, and they have the best coffee in Cambodia! We expected the accommodation to be simple and basic, however we were very comfortable and everything was in good repair. We had been warned about electricity outages and loss of internet and wifi. This did happen, but it was for short periods only and did not affect our holiday. We work from our laptops for part of each day; this was possible, however we had problem with banking as could not receive OTP messages in the time frame required. If we return, we will invest in some local SIM cards and see if that solves the problem.

    No coffee/ tea cattle in villa but I didn’t ask for because i was bringing mine for a long stay. A little overpriced restaurant- the food quality is very good so just a polite advice to the management.

    Absolutely everything was perfect - friendly staff, location of the villa just first line on the beach, comfortable king size bed, sofa on the balcony to have a drink watching the seа or reading a book listening sea waves, plenty of hot water in bathroom, perfect breakfast, a lot of fresh fruits every morning, unforgettable Mango smoothie for the afternoons, thank you Sokna Dom. Sol beach resort is located just in the middle of this side of the island and the sea water and the beach are clean, not such case on the edges of the island, where i think most ot the local people are living. Very safety island no problems to walk alone during night time. Sol beach resort doing their best for the tourists, highly recommend stay by me and believe me I’ve been in 74 countries up to now and slept in so many hotels around the world. Thank you Sol Beach Resort for the perfect stay and so many friends made from staff ❤️

    The included breakfast as well as the other food we tried was not very good. Also the restaurant area is not very inviting. There’s some room for improvement.

    Beautiful spacious bungalows right on the beach with a huge, comfortable bed, big bathroom with great shower as well as a fridge and a safe. We initially thought the price was a big high, but compared to other resorts on the island, this has to be the best value for money. There’s plenty of sunbeds and hammocks to chill on the perfectly clean beach and underneath the trees. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    We had to wait at the pier more than 1 hour for the transfer to the hotel. Quality of food can improve.

    The staff were nice and friendly, willing to help us arrange our transfer back to Phnom Phen. Bungalows are amazing, there is a lot of space in the room and bathroom, and they are located directly on the beach!

    There are graffiti on all the beach bungalows sides, it looked like gangsters stayed there, I'm not sure the reasoning behind it. The pollution into the ocean is terrible, they or the place next door just dump their wastewater through a mini river straight into the ocean, killing the bioluminescent plankton and other poor sea creatures, on the plus side they at least clean the beach daily of all trash. The wifi is basically non existant and very slow if you're lucky to get a connection.

    The room clean, with the air conditioner working very well. We had the beach front room which was quite nice. The staff are friendly and caring. The breakfast was very good.

    Missing ac upstairs, though there was a fan - so not really an issue. Limited menu in the restaurant but as mentioned before other restaurants are in walking distance.

    The location is perfect. Quiet part of Saracen bay although walking distance from the more lively part of the island if one likes that. The restaurant serves beef steaks (I might be wrong but those are from sirloin or tenderloin) which are great. Perfectly cooked. Lok lak was also Perfect! The huts are a bit old but still perfectly fine.
