joohm-reap soo-a !
(it means 'hello' in
Khmer language 😃)
I am just back yesterday from
another trip to Cambodia with hb; this time to Sihanoukville. Many years ago, I
heard that Sihanoukville was akin to Maldives paradise in South East Asia; however due to the many on-going constructions of multi-storey hotels in the city
(time as per my trip), I am not so sure! I might talk more about this in next
post but for now, I would love to just talk about the hotel that we stayed in;
because I am so happy with this hotel and am so glad that I picked this
hotel 😃
- Strategic location right across the beach
- Efficient and helpful reception
- Clean and comfortable room with complete amenities
- Delicious dinner and yummy breakfast
- Great pool and sunbathing
The Location – right
across the beach at Otres Beach 1
After booking my flight
ticket about a month ago, the next thing I did was to search for a lodging to
stay in. Because Sihanoukville has a few beaches and each beach offers
different characteristics, first I had to decide which beach I wanted to stay
at. I finally decided to stay at Otres Beach 1 as the purpose of this trip was
to just relax and laze around and thus I didn't want to surround myself with
all the hustle-bustle of the busier beach.
Then the next thing was,
to pick a hotel at Otres Beach 1 and gosh I took many, many days to finally
settle on Sea Breeze Resort, after considering the location and price, and the
pictures online and reviews from other guests. I was able to book a standard
bungalow at USD103.66 for a 2-night stay, via the Agoda booking site. I admit I
had some worries too because there were not so good reviews from some guests
too but I thought, since both of us are not fussy generally, so it would work out great
for us hopefully...and yes it was!!!!
Sea Breeze Resort is
located just near the junction to Otres Beach 1 and boasts a total of 22 elegant and comfortable
bungalows with free WiFi access throughout the property. It took about 30 minutes travel time (about 10km) from the Sihanouk International
Airport to reach the resort by taxi (USD20). Had the road condition is better
(because there are so many constructions going-on at the whole city), I think
it would take less than 30 minutes to reach.
