Apsara Resort Koh Rong

Beautiful property right on the beach, with spacious rooms, very comfortable beds and an absolutely fantastic swimming pool. Everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The breakfast was extensive and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. We especially loved the personal touch of the WhatsApp service, which made it very easy to contact reception whenever we needed anything. A special thanks to Bunroth for his kindness and help to us!

The resort is built on a hillside, so some rooms require walking up quite a steep incline, while others are more easily accessible. Also, the road leading to the resort is not yet paved, making it quite challenging to reach by scooter or car. We would recommend having plenty of experience riding a scooter or using the hotel’s taxi service, although this comes at an additional cost.

Our stay at Apsara was the most perfect resort holiday with the highest level of service. The resort is stunningly beautiful with a gorgeous infinity pool a pristine white beach. The bedroom was very spacious with beautiful beach views. The food was superb and all staff were very welcoming, friendly and caring. I would like to say a special thank you to the general manager, the chef Michael, Rosika, Sunrok and the driver. We had the most incredible time at Apsara, and we are so grateful to all the staff for such a wonderful stay! Gillian

Nothing - it was perfect in every way.

Beautiful outlook on a very nice beach. Staff take a great deal of pride in their work, this shows in rooms, gardens, beach, food and service. From the pick up from the ferry until check out and return staff ensured all was perfect.

Nothing to not like.

The pictures are accurate and it’s a collection of less than a dozen rooms around a sweet pool on a lovely beach it shares with a back packers hotel and cafe with rooms above so it feels fairly private tbh. The rooms are nicely decorated and a good size. The food in the onsite restaurant is extremely good indeed (for lunch and dinner) with a small menu of western pub classics and rice bowls etc in the Asian section which lets the chef concentrate on quality. On arrival we felt we had done well.

Even though we had booked rooms with sofa beds which were needed to accommodate the named guests in our reservation we were told the sofa beds were included but the bedding wasn’t and would coast $35 per sofa bed per night. Rather set the tone tbh. The problem with the place frankly is the staff who are very smiley, very pleasant and totally inert. The place is urgently in need of maintenance (see pics) with the rain washing the beach away to expose plumbing and sewer and the staff either leave it or throw a tarp over it. Although there were only 4 rooms occupied the week we were there, (we were a party of 5) and took 2, all the tables were set for 2 people. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner, the three staff would stand and look blankly as we pushed tables around to make a 5, then chairs, then take table setting from elsewhere and set our own table. Not once did it occur to anyone to either pre-empt or assist. If you want food or drink you have to go to the bar or into the kitchen where the waiting staff hang out. They ran out of rum on the first night and beer on the second. Breakfast was grim, odd as the food later in the day was genuinely delicious - the noodles are fab. The pastries (which ran out on day 3 never to be replaced) and cakes and juice etc are 7-11 style. Lots of food die. Lots of sugar and very stale. The choices are very limited indeed- maybe because it was so empty I don’t know and the hot options are greasy and unpleasant. The hotel has two stray dogs, (not uncommon in Asia) and when i tried to offload my bacon on them - both refused it. Says it all. There are two inflatable kayaks for guest use but both are slightly deflated and nobody can be bothered to find the pump…. The beach area around the restauarant looks like a massive ashtray.
