Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort 5 stars

This was the most beautiful pool I've ever enjoyed. The grounds of the Angkor Phokeethra are stunning. They are considered a bird sanctuary and you could hear the songbirds as you walked the grounds or relaxed by the pool. That said, the rooms themselves were not very comfortable. The beds were very hard. They lacked some modern elements like usb outlets. The bathrooms had a small shower and separate tub and the fixtures felt very dated. We only ate at The Citadel for the breakfast buffet, which was very nice. This is probably the best hotel in Siem Reap, but I hope that the rooms get updated as it seems the public areas all exceeded modern standards.

this hotel is amazing! the landscape and environment is beautifully maintained and well kept despite the pandemic. Our family was greeted promptly at check in, welcomed with a cold towel and welcome drink. Check in was done at the comfort of the lobby before being escorted to our rooms and being introduced to the facilities of the hotel. The rooms were well maintained and all amenities were available for a comfortable rest and relax stay. Most rooms have a verandah or balcony allowing us to enjoy the greenery from the comfort of our rooms. We had booked a suite which included access to the Club lounge. The club lounge is situated strategically in the centre of the hotel rested on the small pond within the hotel compound. The decor is modern yet rustic, and very serene to just read a book and have a cold latte or juice. Evening drinks and canapes were also served. The staff were attentive, friendly and speaks good English. I especially loved the Cambodia coffee (local coffee brand Moudukiri coffee). It has a nutty flavour and strong robust aroma very similar to those from Vietnam (if you also like a strong robust coffee). The restaurants served a wide range of both local and western cuisine. All done very tasty and well presented. The prices are not exhorbitantly priced either. Breakfast has a good spread of local and western to choose from and the restaurant Citadel is very comfortable with both indoor and outdoor seats. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef de cuisine, Mr Eric Berrigaud, who prepared a degustation menu for our family's reunion dinner in Mouhot's Dream, a private dining area with a view of the kitchen chefs in action. The grilled octopus and prawns was fresh and succulent, but the main, Beef cheek, was the most yummy and extremely well done. Needless to say, we finished everything on the plates! Thank you Mr Berrigaud! The days in Sofitel went by so quickly, but it has left with our family a wonderful memory of Siem Reap, Cambodia, and we will DEFINITELY return to stay again when we come back to Siem Reap!

Stayed on our visit to Ankor Wat and associated temples. Beautiful location and excellent service from check in to check out. Food and bars were great and the breakfast buffet was enormous. The interior grounds were absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our stay.

WE HAD AN EXCELLENT STAY AT YOUR RESORT. ALTHOUGH A SPRAWLING ARRANGEMENTS OF ROOMS ALL HOSPITALITY POINTS WERE EASY TO NAVIGATE. THE POOL IS EXCELLENT AS ARE THE 2 GYM FACILITIES. THE SPA HOWEVER NEEDS MORE STAFF AND RECEPTION NEEDS TO BE MANNED BY A DEDICATED STAFF MEMBER NOT A THERAPIST. APPRECIATED THE LAVISH REAKFASTS AND THE CHAMPAGNE BOUTIQUE IS THE BEST ! THANK YOU.

I especially enjoyed your swimming pool, where I swam many loops. The gym was very pleasant too. Your brunch was great, and my poolside room was charming. The staff was professional and friendly.
