Overall Ratings & Reviews Palm Beach Bungalow Resort

My seventh time visiting to Koh Rong but this was not good experience in this resort because it was too hot. It was my mistake for assuming every resorts have air condition in 2025 and I made reservations for seven days. We wanted to leave after the first night. We checked out early and did ask for refunds because of my mistake. ONLY OUT COME IS GREAT EMPLOYEES

This was a perfect island get away. The staff was exceptional. The owners were involved. More like a family affair with a wonderful community feel. Over the Holidays they organized games in the restaurant to include everyone (I was solo and never felt left out). I even had a medical issue and the owner and a local pulled me aside and gave me some excellent and very timely information that saved me from some real problems. I extended my stay even longer, which was lucky as they were booked out all the other days.

The owners and staff were great. Made me feel at home. Had a trivia night on Christmas to engage everyone into some community fun. It was very entertaining. Yoga is available in the morning most days. They helped set up all my activities and transportation. Also, The Chu Chiri “Tempura Barracuda” was my favorite dish in all of Cambodia. Ordered it twice in 3 days.

I had a beautiful stay at the Palm Beach Bungalow Resort. I stayed in a beach front bungalow which was very clean and had a beautiful view. The staff were lovely, and all the meals were delicious. I went on the boat trip which cost 20 USD and included fruit and drinks. We went snorkelling, fishing and swam with glowing plankton. I definitely recommend doing this if you have time. The location was very picturesque, and the resort didn’t get too loud which was nice. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and cannot thank the staff enough for making it so memorable.

Qualified and super nice staff

Great atmosphere with this place. And a real mix of people, that works so well because of the relaxed atmosphere. Try lying in the hammocks that are in the sea. Lie in the sea as the sun sets over the forest behind the bungalows then grab a cocktail.

We stayed here for 5 nights as a break from city backpacking and it was absolute paradise. We arrived on the boat and were greeted with a welcome drink and sat with one of the owners who explained how things work. You are given a barcode with your roomkey which you use to run a tab for the duration of your stay. This works really well as it means you dont need cash on you and you just settle up at checkout. There are no safes in the bungalows but there are safes within the restaurant and you keep the key with you which we felt very safe doing. The bungalows themselves are basic but have everything you could possibly need for a beach stay like this. We absolutely loved the bungalows and they certainly exceeded our expectations. We chose to make the most of the opportunity to relax so didnt do much exploring of the island but there were options to rent motorbikes if you wanted to. We set ourselves up on the sunbeds and stayed until sunset! The property offer two trips, a morning hike and an afternoon boat trip. We did the boat trip and would definitely recommend as the plankton was something we will remember forever. The staff at this resort played a huge part on our experience and the service was so personal and spot on for the vibe. This isn’t a luxury resort, but that is reflected in the incredible value of this place.

The staff and accommodations were exactly what I expected. A wonderful place to kick back and relax.

When we arrived after a horrible ferry journey we were told we could not get food as the kitchen was closed due to a wedding taking place. Our bungalow was 50 meters behind the stage and the loud music went on until 1.30 am, so we could not sleep until it stopped. This spoilt our whole experience. If we had been told about the wedding in advance , we could have arrived a day later.

It's a family run beach front resort that is well kept and the owners are very pleasant people. The views are first rate. The cabins are cute and cozy. It's not the typical worn-out tourist spot. The food is tasty and there is plenty to drink if that's the goal. There's also snorkeling, kayaking, hiking the lovely island forest, relaxing on a fabulous beach, or sitting on a bungalow porch lazing in a hammock. What's best about this place is that they have struck the perfect balance between price and paradise. You don't have to declare bankruptcy or break the piggy bank to go and have a wonderful time. That alone makes me want to make it a regular vacation spot. Thanks!

Beautiful beach. Stayed for 3 nights in in deluxe bungalow with great view over sea. Visited Palm Beach resort 3 yrs ago. Much quieter then but even with several large groups this time the service was very friendly. Took Palm beach ferry back to Sihanoukville and was met by man in cafe in dock who was only one offering a taxi. Ended up a crazy journey in a tuktuk to meet up with taxi with several other occupants, some sitting hanging out the back of the hatchback and only just reached airport in time. Be warned.

Nice and basic bungalows with fan, sometimes a bit hot to sleep. Beach ok for sun bathing, but swimming challenging because of the rocks. Nice restaurant and good food. Canoeing and pool table ++ Just be careful with small flying ants!

The staff were amazing, you can tell they take pride in their place and go out of their way to help you out. The food was okay, beach kept clean. No AC, big deal though, fans kept us cool enough. Just don’t plug your phone in at night, will drain your battery. Charge after 8 am also can charge in restaurant. Plenty of games to play, board cakes, darts, pool, kayaks, volleyball, badminton..... local dogs and cat are friendly and cute.... price is awesome... felt like part of the family and we would go again in a heartbeat!

Love this place. Very beautiful right on the beach. Went on a fishing trip and than ate the fish that night. As the site says they are on an island so it’s rustic, but that’s why you go there!

This place is a gem. It's tucked away from the noise of the other places on the island, and feels like you stumbled into paradise. We stayed a night on Koh toch and were so happy to be here instead. Overall a much better scene, we felt the other side of the island was loud and dirty. At Palm Beach they have a restaurant that serves great food and drinks, kayaks and snorkel gear and tons of fun stuff to do. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and work into making this place fun and comfortable. Great staff, overall a wonderful place to visit.

We stayed at Palm Beach for 4 nights and we couldn't have had a better time. The bungalows on the beach are very basic - western toilet with bucket to flush, shower. There are mosquito nets provided and taps so you can wash the sand of your toes before you get into the bungalow. I can really recommend the jungle Treehouse Honeymoon Suite - breathtaking views and sunrise. **if you don't fancy 100% back to basics, book a deluxe room or jungle room. The basic life takes a night to get used to but it is so worth it, forget your shoes and shirt and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff at Palm Beach make the experience so special, Mireille and Greg are absolute heroes and so beautiful inside and out. Mireille looked after my girlfriend when she had an allergic reaction to a bite. Greg is so friendly and happy, he runs trips such as hiking and snorkelling/fishing. Very worth doing! We snorkelled at Coral Island and fished from the boat and it was wonderful. The food at Palm Beach is good and the Khmer staff are so polite. You won't be bored if you don't want to be - there's snorkelling gear, kayaks, badminton, volleyball and endless swimming and walking opportunities. There are animals galore on the island and at Palm Beach there is Numbi, Greg's beautiful dog, kittens, piggies and chicks! What is UNFORGETTABLE about Palm Beach is the bioluminescent plankton. It's like swimming in blue glitter - phenominial. You should go, talk to everyone, smile lots.

I loved this resort for the value. How quiet it was. And especially the staff. The owner and the locals were so friendly and welcoming. I would go there again.

Everyone did a great job. We rented a boat by the hour and was great un-rushed and got to take it at our own pace. Cambodian staff were excellent!!!!

Great location, with great staff. Beautiful spot on the island, with a really good boat trip where you can swim with the plankton! Cons-mosquito nets don't work and shower is cold and barley works.

Terrible customer service, wouldn't recommend this place
