This sprawling resort was the first five-star option available in
Sihanoukville. Its style is definitely oriented more towards the Asian
market, with a rather soulless and ostentatious lobby not really
fashionable by Western resort standards.
The staff are lovely and
helpful though. The gardens have come into themselves and are lush and
tropical, and the enormous pool has a slightly exposed feel, although
with such a beautiful beach below, you may not want to spend too long by
it anyway.
The beach itself is decked out with plush recliners and
umbrellas and the white sand is immaculately maintained and trash free.
Rooms are spotless and spacious and come with all the amenities you
would expect at this pricepoint.
On offer to guests are a fitness centre
with sauna and steam bath, a children's playground, a spa and free
daily shuttles around Sihanoukville. In addition to the room types
listed below, the Sokha has an array of lavish suites and villas --
