Palm Village Resort & Spa

This is possibly one of the closest properties to Angkor Wat, so thats definitely great. Plus they offer decently prized tours also. It’s about 10-15 minutes away from the centre, but the hotel organised all tuk tuks for us every time, so we literally had no problem. The room is pretty basic (washroom is clean and well lit) but it works if you are looking for something rustic/non touristy. However, the BEST thing about this place is its ever smiling, helpful staff. I will always remember them as the highlight of my stay.

Low lighting in the room

Very atmospheric and friendly place. The cosy little huts you stay in offer spacious bathrooms and big fridges. The kitchen offers a great variety of regional meals at reasonable prices. On our late arrival it was already closed but we were offered neatly arranged sliced fruit, as the staff in general was extremely friendly and eager to make your stay comfortable. They organised three private tours to the temples and sights for us with a superbly informed guide, who showed us the beaten hot spots as well as his own „hidden“ places inside the vast area.

Location is at a certain distance to the town. This is in a way made up by the relatively short way to Angkor Wat.

Highly recommended: Palm Village was everything I needed, an excellent base for visiting the temples, and excellent cuisine for dinner. I don’t think you could eat better anywhere else; the cooking was perfect, with quite a large range of choices on the menu, very healthy. The staff are very hospitable and helpful; they can help you out with local information and services. I mostly used a bike they arranged for me, but they will also have a tuktuk waiting at the front door for you whenever you need it. There’s a lot more positives, besides: This is an oasis of peace in a peaceful area - a local neighbourhood (very nice not to be downtown) - which is nearer to the main temple area, anyway, so you can really unwind, and catch up on sleep. The swimming pool is perfect, too, a great place to relax and swim, with plenty of shade if you need it. The gardens are well-kept with a large variety of plants and trees, and there are hammocks to try as well. My room and bathroom were clean and everything worked well - a/c and fan, fridge, etc. The bathroom was well-done, like new. Overall, I think of Palm Village as another well-kept secret, a unique experience. I’m so glad I chose it. Being in need of a rest, a real break, it was a blessing. I will definitely stay there again if I take another trip to Angkor.

Awesome Resort, lots of trees, very tranquil and just beautiful bungalows. A great saltwater pool and the extremely friendly staff made the stay perfect. Returning to the resort felt like coming home. The Khmer-food was always fresh and tasted awesome. Enough variety to eat something different everyday for a week. We didn't need or want to go anywhere else to eat. Many, many thanks to the staff! A warning: If you hate insects and our nature don't go to Cambodia and this resort. I loved it!

The road upfront is very bad... and dark during the night. Not good if you go out alone, but nothing the resort can change. The car that you get if you rent the driver of the hotel is ... lets say very old.

Great location - close to Angkor by tuk-tuk or bycicle(aproximately 10 minutes); a lot of vegetation surrounding the hut and the pool area; good food and friendly staff; nice experience in the bamboo hut.

Hard bed; the distance from the NEW airport is around 55 km - only options of transfer are with a car provided by the hotel or taxi.

The property had everything we could have wished for and enabled us to take full advantage of the location, pool and fabulous food to unwind without having to leave for food. Over half way through our tour of Vietnam/Cambodia we needed to recharge our batteries but also wanted to tour the temples. We loved the warm reception from the staff and especially the pool which was like entering a warm bath. Highly recommended.

Arriving late at night you did get a sense of bring in the middle of no-where however this became our greatest attraction.

Pancakes with (excellent) fruits is a fresh and very good start in the morning. Order in advance to have it quickly! There are some hammocks near the swimming pool which are welcome. The staff is very helpful.

It is located outside the city centre which makes it hard (or not advised) to walk back in the evening as there are no public lights around there. Plenty of Tuk-Tuk of course to remedy to this problem!

This off-the-beaten-path resort is a great find. Beautiful, tranquil grounds with a pool and each room a private cabana. The food was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, for example arranging tuk tuk transportation to the archeological park and a guide for the day. We also enjoyed the massage, which is offered on the property.

The only downside of the location is that it's a bit far from restaurants, shopping, and the like. But, in our opinion, being out of the busy main town area was a good thing.

We loved this place. Little cabins set in beautifully kept grounds with lots of frogs around. A few little dogs too! The pool was really nice - big and deep enough for a proper swim. We loved the location away from Siem Reap town on the road to Angkor Wat. Staff were kind and friendly.

Nothing at all.

Pool was good, it was in a quiet area, staff was friendly and non interfering

I saw a small lizard roaming around in my room. I was scared it might get in my luggage. Room was not serviced daily. It was left as we left- bathroom not cleaned, towels not replaced. I had to manually go and request. I didn’t eat here as the menu was not impressive and I found better food at Pub Street which is a $3 tuk tuk ride
