Kep Lodge

You pay $1 to enter and it can be either walked or driven with the motorbike. I didn't see many places to hike, only a couple stops, one of them being a tower with nice views. I would not go there specially, but if you are in the area with spare time, definitely something nice to do.

A lovely national park with forests overlooking the ocean. There is a paved path for motorcycles and hikers. There is a section with different swings and seating options, so you can enjoy a cold drink and take photos of the view. Litter free and beautiful.

Kep National Park is a natural and in some ways primitive experience. Trails range from paved to very rugged and undeveloped. Along the main trail, there are a few facilities like coffee shops and swings out over the cliff, for the daring. Plenty of amazing views from the mountain of the Kep beach as well. Be forewarned that afternoon visits to the park will be hot, balmy, steamy and very humid. An early morning trek is recommended to avoid the crushing, draining heat. Some insect repellent is likely in order as well.

Kep National Park is a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy nature. Foreign visitors pay $1 entrance fee, which is very affordable. You can explore the park in many ways — walking, cycling, or riding a motorbike, depending on your preference. We did not see monkeys on our visit. Don’t forget to visit the tower.

Pretty nice park, for a 1 dollar entrance fee. There is a nice road going around with observe points. Unfortunately not well maintained, most views are hidden by vegetation. You get the nicest views by leaving the road and walk up on the small trails (also not maintained, some parts almost blocked by fallen trees).

"While the mountain scenery in Kep is beautiful, the motorbike noise is a drawback. The local government should promote more organized activities to attract visitors to the region."

A beautiful hidden gem located on the mountain. Up there you can enjoy coffee/drinks with a very nice view overlooking the sea and greenery surrounding forest. It’s crowded for weekend and during holiday. Most people go there for taking photo. We paid 10000R for 5 of us at the foot of the mountain. PS: no space for car park for more than 3 cars. Be sure to ask them before going up. It’s a small one way road.

Chilling with the coffee shop along the road up to the mountain of Kep National Park, we can see the Seaview and the mountain and island.

Beautiful cafe in a national park! Amazing coffee and nice crepes! Also very unique sittings areas with a great view!

Great place with great drinks like fresh passion fruit and sparkling water (soda) . Super relaxing spot

I recently visited Wes Kep and was impressed by the beautiful atmosphere and location. The surroundings are relaxing and offer a great place to enjoy the natural scenery of Kep. However, I feel there are several areas that need improvement. The prices are quite high compared to the overall experience provided. The service was slow, and some staff members did not appear particularly friendly or welcoming. In addition, the food quality did not meet my expectations considering the price point. I also noticed that certain parts of the property could benefit from renovation and better maintenance. I would kindly encourage the management team to reconsider the pricing strategy and focus on improving service standards and food quality. With its excellent location and pleasant atmosphere, Wes Kep has great potential to provide a much better guest experience. I hope these comments will be taken a

Clean, modern, excellent service and beautiful scenery. But the crab sandwich dripped watery mayo everywhere, while the crab’s delicate flavor was lost in the big ciabatta bun. The ‘frappe’ was just a regular iced coffee with maybe two or three crushed ice cubes dropped in. Also, just in the 45 minutes I was there before midday, two groups came in just for sad Instagram photo shoots - it would be a much nicer place if it were customers only.

I’ve been there every time when I visited Kompot and always ordered coffee and take rest over there since they have cozy places to seat. Their service was good and the atmosphere are the best. Unlike before today before I took the order I asked if they have Macha or not? Staff say yes so me and my friend was took the order but unfortunately the Macha is not Machaing causeit was GREEN-TEA🙂 TBH I’m so disappointed.

This is a great spot to stop by on the way to Kep! The views are spectacular 🤌🏽 and the food was good. They have refreshing Khmer shaved ice to help with the heat. The seafood amok was pretty good too!

The nice place for sunset view by the sea. Don't have enough time to taste the food. But the drink tastes good with Reasonable price.

This was a huge market. I arrived and started walking around there were vendors everywhere under a bunch of tents. It was raining the day i went but that didn’t stop nothing and there was still a good amount of people. There were fresh and live crabs everywhere dried and fried seafood and multiple shopping stalls to with clothes and toys. Right near the beach so You could see the water and very nice local people there too.

Loved every bit of this market! An absolute steal! Fresh seafood especially the crab. You can choose your crab near the boat area and bargain to get your best price! The best part is you can request the seafood to be cooked right away. Crab with green pepper cooking would be best! And perhaps request for deep fry with garlic cooking for the prawn.

A MUST visit when visiting Kep! I’ve been to countless markets in Asia, but none like this. The energy is unreal with endless fresh seafood stations everywhere you turn. Most of it is live, some is dried, others are prepared to order for you, but it’s all amazing. It’s all encased under multiple tents to protect from the rain, but this ends up holding onto the smoke from all the cooking. Not bad, but people with sensitive lungs may be affected. Some vendors are very very friendly and will sample items to you, and some people will shove you to get by. It’s a very unique market compared to most.

I only arrived just before the market closed, so I'm sure i did not get the full experience. I did end up buying some fresh fried pepper crab and eating it by the water. The crab was delicious and the fresh green pepper bunches were spicy and exciting. It was an extreme mess to eat. I'm not very experienced with crab. The kind woman gave me chopsticks, which seemed useless to me. I had to dig in with my hands and tear it all apart. Fortunately I happened to have a wet napkin stashed in my bag, and my partner was there with some tissue ready and willing to help. Life Saver! There was a bathroom, but i never saw a proper sink. The food was fresh, and delicious. Like many of the markets I've seen in SEA, it is far from clean or sanitary. It clearly starts closing after 4:30. Half of the stalls were abandoned by 5.

Crab was delicious. Very nice people selling fresh crab. Picked out crab and had it cooked right in front of us. Found a nice place to sit and enjoyed our food.

Right on the ocean (literally), this place is a must visit. The service is excellent, with the owner himself taking the time to show us how to eat the crab properly. The restaurant is lovely, with hand painted decor (again by the owner). You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his restaurant. The food was quick to arrive and delicious! The crab tasted so fresh, tender and flavourful. So happy we came!

Absolutely incredible experience! I had the Amok Crabmeat and it was honestly one of the best dishes I’ve had in Cambodia. The flavors were perfectly balanced — creamy coconut, fresh crab, and a beautifully mild curry that just melts in your mouth. You can really taste how fresh the seafood is here, which makes a huge difference. Everything was on point. What made it even better was the setting — I came during sunset and the view was absolutely stunning. Watching the sun go down over the sea while enjoying such an amazing meal made it a perfect experience. If you’re in Kep, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Great, simple place on the water. Food was good. We ate at a few places - much the same - good quality seafood not too tricked up. Had excellent fresh crab spring rolls, stir fried crab (meat only, I was being lazy) and crab fried rice. Cocktails and wine. Nice!

We had a delicious lunch here today seated right next to the sea. Our food was great. I had fish amok and my husband had black pepper crab. The passion fruit soda was excellent too on a very hot day. The owner Sariem was very friendly and helped with recommendations and his wife is the chef. Beautiful location and fabulous food.

Excellent whole crabs- meaty and big. We ordered 2 plates of crab ( they were that good!!!), for 2 people plus veggies. Staff is very sweet. Fair prices and decent portions. Owner works hard, all the time. He has never been to Phnom Pehn even . Cambodian work hard for their money and cannot take holidays. Remember to tip. Best crab amok I have ever had. Definitely order it! It is their specialty!

We had lunch at Holy Crab. It may be popular spot for tourists. If you love seafood, you will find many seafood restaurants at the bank of Kampot riverside. They have Crab Amok (Khmer traditional food). Fried big prawns are also nice. Crab in green pepper sauce is a little bland for me.

The food there is always good. I am never disappointed every time I eat there. I tried other restaurants around out of curiosity, and I can confidently say that Holy Crab beats them all by far.

We absolutely loved this place! Our favourite is the crab amok and grilled squid with lemon kampot pepper sauce (so good!!). I understand that it may be slightly expensive but they do serve quality and fresh food that is worth every penny. Their juices are also amazing - lime and mint is a must try!! If I go back to Kep; I’m definitely visiting this place again.

crab amok soooo good! crab tamarind sauce was alright, the sauce was pretty light and not as thick as we would have liked. service was good!

This restaurant is located on a very busy seaside street. They have a very aesthetic decoration. They claim to serve MSG-free food. The price was a little bit high for the portion. he food took a little bit too long, yet it is very tasty. Among the dishes we ordered, the crab fried with pepper is the best, in which the crab blends well with the stir-fried sauces and the meat is literally fresh. The BBQ prawn and stir-fried squid are average.

Delicious and fresh seafood! As a local, once you try this restaurant, you may never want to eat seafood the same way again. The seasoning and flavors were just amazing and perfectly balanced in every dishes. The steamed grouper with soy sauce was the best I’ve ever had; the fish was incredibly fresh and had a great texture. The squid, raw shrimp, and blood clams were all excellent, and even the simple egg fried rice was really well done. Definitely my new favorite seafood restaurant.

Decided to try this place because I kept seeing people eating there from another restaurant nearby (my favourite). The experience was disappointing. It’s more expensive than the other restaurants there and the portions are also smaller. I ordered the fired crab with tamarind, which tasted good, but let’s just say I was glad I ordered some fresh spring rolls too. Over $9 for barely 2 crabs is expensive compared to the other restaurants around. The service was also slow and not good. I was not surprised that they brought all the dishes separately since they all do that in Cambodia, but they also forgot to serve the rice with my crab. They most likely always have rice on hand, so it should actually be the first thing on the table. My boyfriend’s dish also came a while after mine. Although the dishes tasted good, they definitely did not compare to the best restaurant in that area, which na

I really didn’t like it at all. Here’s my experience at Kimli:. I ordered a “large portion of shrimp,” but what they brought looked like some kind of porridge or mash. Most of the plate was sauce, and there were only small shrimp. Since the dish was rather expensive for Cambodia, I was surprised right away and asked to cancel the order because it looked suspicious. They told me that since I had already ordered it, there would be no cancellation. When I started eating, it turned out that some pieces were not properly cleaned, and some still had legs. This whole thick mixture basically hides what’s actually inside and how many shrimp there really are. Please see the photo. Later, the owner claimed this is a large portion and that it uses half a kilo of shrimp. Looking at the plate. I counted 11 shrimp tails in total. Finally, I received less change than expected (no reciept). When I asked

The crab curry was yummy and had lots of meat on the crab. Small portions are quite big, can share between 2-3 people. I would definitely come back to order the crab curry. Food was cooked at an adequate speed, but even though there weren't a lot of people, it took them forever to take our order, to bring us drinks and white rice. Fried rice was a bit dry, but good taste.

We shared the crab amok and curried prawns and it was my favourite meal in Cambodia - made even better by the fact you can request the dishes spicy and have lots of chilli added! Sun setting over the restaurant while we dined and a nice glass of wine to go with it all. 10/10, can’t wait to return if I’m ever back in Kep.

I ordered the Croque Madame at this café serving Western-style food by the water in Kep. It was okay overall. The breakfast was quite different from what I expected, it was more like a small baguette filled with scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and bacon. The taste was fine, but not especially memorable. Service was excellent and the location is a real highlight. I’d give it 3 stars and would be open to trying other dishes on the menu.

Good food Nice place at the sea. Enjoyed my food. Have western and Khmer food. Nice drinks. Like the place. Fast wifi

A great location to relax with an iced late overlooking the ocean. The shop has a little store as well. We didn't have a meal though, but the iced late was the best we have had so far in Cambodia.

Beautiful place on the ocean to have coffee or a meal. Nice and relaxing. Good place to come on your own, with friends, or with your family. I enjoyed the espresso, green tea frappe, and a fruit bowl here. The staff was very friendly here and speaks English.

Great sunset views and even better service. The drinks are well-priced, and the location is super convenient to the beach and Crab Market. Definitely a highlight of the area!
