Hotel on the beach. Beautiful sand and water for swimming. Hotel has a really great pool, pool bar and restaurant. Good choice of breakfast included. Other bars and restaurants close by. Had a couple of minor issues but the staff were excellent and were quick to fix. Booked for 1 week but extended for another!

Cambodia Tour

Nice hotel. Chalets are a bit small but that's ok with me. It has all you need and would expect. Bear in mind it's on an island with limited facilities. Great pool area and right on the beach. Other beaches are walkable within about 30 minutes or so of hotel. Lots of bars and restaurants to the left and right of hotel, all along the beach. Very close to the ferry jetty. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again.

Sara resort was a great place to stay. Beach front property. Food was good. Rooms clean. Friendly staff. Beautiful view. The only negative was Mic The designated tour and island information guy. Misleading. Claims to have been on the island 13 years yet locals say he just arrived. Speaks no Khmer. No information on other island. Led us to a walk to the beach which was unmarked and we got lost and I wished for more honesty and upfront with his knowledge. Disappointing and we just wondered why and what the purpose was for him to mislead info about his knowledge of island. We caught on quick. Go stay at Sara resort for sure but don’t waste time with mic!

Great stay, good resort

We had a lovely few days here. Very friendly welcome, management very visible throughout our stay. Right on the beach, excellent value for money and a good free breakfast included. This is an island, it is more basic, but it is a very good value for money hotel

Nice hotel with friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The location isn’t amazing though, since the beachfront is quite small (very small to enjoy actually) and it is very dirty on that side of the island. Breakfast food is decent too.

A very Nice place to stay at. Just at the water. Great food and comfortable room. There are something to wish for, but it’s Cambodia. Little laid back and relaxed attitude. Just love it.

Fantastic stay! Great restaurant on site, bbq available in addition to wide menu selection every night. A la carte breakfast included lots to choose from. We had a cabana which wasn’t huge but if you are organized there is plenty of space. Bonus that the pool opened two weeks prior to our arrival, was a nice surprise. Front desk staff super helpful in booking our transportation forward to our next destination. Restaurant staff clearly well trained in customer service. Couldn’t have been happier.

Great place just for the swim.

Place is very good, staff very polite and pool very clean, but apart of this I can be say same things for the food. Mouldy tasted pizza, steamed red snapper on the grill, cold served cappuccino warmed at microwave. Guys, you put to many staff but nobody controlling how good the quality of the food. Please... just for the food I stayed one night. Everything is great, but where is the quality?

Wonderful resort! The room was spacious and clean with nice complimentary toiletries. The restaurant was excellent with a wide variety of dishes. Included breakfast also had great options. The front desk can book any tours directly which is easy and helpful. I can’t say enough about the amazing staff:) every interaction I had was pleasant and professional, I felt like the whole team genuinely cared how my stay was going and if I needed any assistance. The paths to Lazy and Sunset beach are right next to the hotel and easy to navigate. The resort also offered pickup and drop off at the ferry pier with luggage assistance. 10/10 from the moment I arrived to the moment I left.

Book a bungalow

We were in the economy room which is a row of 4 or 5 adjoining rooms. This means you can hear your neighbours quite clearly. The air con, hot shower and safe were all good, the room was a bit tired and smelled a little damp. The bungalows looked to be in a much better location. Not many sunbeds available considering the size of the place Could not fault the staff, they were really friendly and helpful.

What an amazing place! the resort gave me a free room upgrade, free drink on the house before leaving, and has the best guide dogs to your island destinations. The only trouble is that when I got back to my room, I had to kill at least 10 mosquitos laying on my pillow because the sliding door is not properly sealed from the outside. Apply bug spray to the door crevice at night and you should be fine. Overall, the place is great, food is cheap and high-quality, and the service is wonderful.

Koh Rong Sanloem is an amazing island - beautiful and chilled out. Sara Resort is located near to other restaurants etc in Saracen Bay. The resort staff were super friendly. Prices in the restaurant were more expensive than other local eating places, but the food was good. The pool and pool area were fantastic, with plenty of loungers. We had a budget AC room. Shower was good and air conditioning was ok. Mattress was super firm though, which meant uncomfortable nights sleep - they could do with either purchasing proper mattress toppers or memory foam mattresses. I asked for a topper and was given an extra duvet, which did little to make it comfortable. A shame, as that was the only negative to our stay.

Decent place

I wanted to love this place, but for the price… sadly we found it disappointing. We are not high-end travellers with high-end expectations, but, when paying that much for a resort in Cambodia, I’d expect more. There is no doubt the location is beautiful, but the ongoing construction on the beach bar and pool area was not exactly the peaceful vacation we were looking for. The beach is also incredibly small (with very few lounge chairs considering the amount of rooms) when the tide is up (which is often). The service, however, was fantastic, as was the breakfast. We moved to another resort on the same beach and did come back to Sara often for dinner tho. Great food, and probably the best staff on the whole beach. Definitely recommend the restaurant.

Not a great experience staying here

The room was good. Their bath towels were not dirty but did not give a neat look too. I did not find the food to be great, that could be because I am vegetarian and so less options. We requested a check out by 10:45 AM as we finished having our breakfast at around 10 AM and needed some time to pack stuff. But they did not agree stating that we had an early check-in around 10 AM, After negotiating they came down by 15 mins. I was expecting them to be considerate. Overall, I did not have a great experience in this resort.

Go to Koh Rong Samloem Now!!!!

We stayed at SARA Resort for 7 nights, loved it so much we booked an extra 3. I wish I could have stayed longer to be honest. All the staff from Retha, shcol (excuse if I spelt it wrong) Billy, Sara, Jody, Steve, Pete and the many other staff at the restaurant, let alone the cleaning crews. And of course, the bossman Ben were so welcoming to us. There was talk of work on the island and construction, and yes there is. But where Sara resort is situated is the perfect distance away from any works going on. There is a road next to the resort, but it's used rarely by the people manoeuvring stuff from one place to another. And certainly no disturbance to myself or my wife. We totally love Sara Resort. Massive love from Warren & Amanda, UK,

Positive points: Nice resort close to the pier. Good communication with the staff about ferry pickup time. Comfortable bed, hot shower, beach restaurant with a good selection of local & international food. Staff was nice and helpful. We were upgraded to a bungalow at no extra cost, which was a nice surprise. Negative points: Power went off for a couple of seconds twice a day - would come back right away but you had to restart the AC everytime. Pool area was under construction with a lot of noise at breakfast and during the day, not the best if you've come to relax. Beach right in front of the hotel is dirty (plastic garbage and it looks like sewage water is going into the sea not far from there...), better to walk to Lazy beach. And - but this is not the hotels fault - most of KRS is under construction; some neighboring resorts have eviction notices and are in the process of being dismantled, which is a bit strange and not very pleasant. The hotel is nice enough but I wouldn't recommend spending time in Samloem right now as things are in flux, it's basically just all a big construction site.
