Pearl Residence Koh Rong

What a beauty! I’ve been to so many beaches and this one is one of my favourites. It’s white sand, light blue water, lots of coconut trees, hammocks, beach beds, and mainly 4 restaurants. The sunset is beautiful. It’s not crowded and not remote as well. It has the perfect number of people somehow. People are living a slow life here. Playing volleyball with their children, music in the background, watching sunset from a bridge, a father teaching chess to his son, us enjoying smoothies, and a kid swinging on a wooden swing hung under a coconut tree. It’s a beautiful beach! Vegetarian food options are limited, but if you’re not a picky eater like me, you’ll survive.

Really nice beach! If I had to put in order all the beaches I visited on Koh Rong, it would be: 1- Lonley Beach (not easy to get in, but worth it) 2-Pagoda Beach 3- Coconut beach 4-Long Beach (to see the sunset) 5- Palm Beach

really beautiful quiet beach, in front of the main strip of the handful of resorts and guesthouses on the north side where the businesses look after the beachfront and keep it tidy. the swimming water quality is glorious. crystal clear, sandy seabed. you can also dive off the edge of the pier. the south side of the beach also used to be nice pre-pandemic, when we first visited, but it may be undergoing new ownership as of 2025, so watch that space. One thing to note is that there is no useful convenience shop. There is one inside the new seemingly Chinese owned Umi hotel, but they only sell Chinese snacks, some beach towels. So if you need things like Mosquito repellents, washing powder, shampoos, soaps, you'll need to collect if before you come, or pick it up at the Long Set pier , where there is a small convenience shop/market when you arrive there on the boat. Mid stay it's als

A really gorgeous beach! We made the effort to come here and it was lovely! The beach is so clean! The water is so blue! Loved our day here - we came on a bike, and it’s abit difficult to find on maps but when your coming down a steep hill your nearly there!

Quiet, private, and not crowded. Perfect escape from busy places. If you like quiet places, Coconut Beach is a great choice. It’s peaceful, not busy, and feels very private.

A really chill beach bar with great drinks and surprisingly excellent food!!! You should definitely spend a few lovely hours here. The owner and staff are truly warm and friendly. Many thanks for the wonderful time—hope to see you again soon.

Excellent location at the quiet end of the beach. Food is excellent. Amazing to sit and eat right on the beach. Not very friendly on either of our visits though, maybe an off couple of days. Cocktails weren't great (very sweet, not very stong, not traditional recipes) and Passionfruit soda wasnt fizzy and had no zing to it. Definitely go for the food though.

Me and my friends discovered this place and it’s the best Pad Thai I’ve ever eaten in my solo travels. The sauce is incredible, service is amazing too lovely couple who own the bar. Value for money and great views too. Couldn’t recommend it any higher.

Great little spot on the beach! We looked up reviews beforehand and this was one of our top choices. They were originally out of the penne mushroom pasta but made it fresh for it (the sauce) as there were three people in our group who wanted it so they made it with spaghetti noodles and it was fantastic. Note it is made with coconut cream as you can taste it but it’s delicious. The garlic bread with cheese is a good one as well and I’m so happy things came salted as a lot of Cambodian places don’t tend to salt their food. Lots of variety on the menu, note there’s no pizza or burgers at this one but great pad Thai as well.

The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and welcoming, and the staff are absolutely lovely. We had dinner there during our last two nights and honestly wished we had more time to try other dishes. I highly recommend this place if you’re eager to discover local cuisine while enjoying a beautiful moment overlooking the gently rocking ocean !! On top of that, the tissue box on the table was perfumed with jasmine — I was absolutely obsessed !!

Hands down, the best seafood we've ever eaten. The flavours were so complex yet so simple. Honestly speaking, we've been looking for seafood dishes that make us come back and we haven't really found any... until now that is. Every element of the meal was outstanding. The antipasti, which was a liotlw added bonus, was so delicious, I wanted to order it as a full meal. The prawns/shrimp were cooked to perfection. The barracuda was so perfectly seasoned and grilled that you literally needed nothing else. The salad was fresh, fragrant and just a delight. My son, who never eats fish, cleaned his plate. Ate the skin too, which he has never done before. Treat yourself to a meal that will live up to and definitely exceed all expectations!

Amazing restaurant, lovely owner and stunning food. My partner had the grilled barracuda which he absolutely loved. I had the vegetarian option which was delicious too. The salad is so tasty. The portions are big and the wine is great too. Absolutely gorgeous views of the sea whilst you are eating. Highly recommend!!!!

I had a really enjoyable experience at Barracuda Seafood Restaurant. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, making you feel genuinely welcome. The seafood was fresh and delicious, especially the grilled dishes. The atmosphere was also great—calm, peaceful, and right by the sea. In short: great food, a lovely vibe, and sincere service. I’d definitely come back 👍

What an incredible surprise! Located right on the beautiful Longset Beach in Koh Rong, this is the last place I would have expected to find seafood and hospitality of such a high standard. The fish, prawns, and squid are freshly caught every day and grilled to perfection—you can truly taste the freshness in every bite. The side salad and marinades deserve special mention. Prepared with high-quality olive oil and fresh ingredients, they elevate the grilled seafood to another level. The selection of wines is equally impressive and something you would never expect to find at such a small beachfront restaurant. A special thank you to the Turkish owner, whose warm, friendly, and attentive personality turns a great meal into a complete experience. His genuine hospitality, passion for quality, and attention to every guest make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. He is always happy to

Disclaimer: it's much better than my photos suggest The food was delicious! Highly recommended. The owner and staff are super friendly. If you're staying on Koh Rong, you absolutely have to eat here. We had the Barracuda with vegetables and the Fried Barracuda, as recommended by the owner. The owner is originally Turkish, by the way, which you can taste in the Mediterranean dishes. You can pay by debit and credit card. But as always in Cambodia, make sure you always have enough cash on hand in case of any unexpected problems.

Stopped for lunch based on reviews, and to wait out the rain. Beef lok lok on rice was so delicious. Would definitely come back.

5/5 Rented bike for two days with full tank. He is flexible and friendly person. The shop is located 5 min walk from Longset Ferry terminal. Easy for pick up and drop it. The bike was well cleaned and good working condition. I ride entire island, hills, beaches and off-roads. It works perfectly. His cousin "Motobike All Season" recommended this shop.

Rented a scooter for an extremely fair price at this cafe. The motorbikes were new and in great conditions. Also the guy spoke great english and was extremely kind. Very recommended, just walking 5 minutes from the main road you can get a scooter for a great value for money

Nice and delicious fish amok (Kh-mer food). Must try!

Nicest coffee we had on the island ! Small walk from the pier and worth every step. The lady working there was so kind and friendly. We came twice and the food was amazing too. The blueberry milk is very sweet but very nice

This beach is super incredible a pristine stretch of tropical paradise nestled on the southwestern coast of the island. With its powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, the beach offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Lined with swaying palm trees and surrounded by lush greenery, Long Set Beach provides a tranquil setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the shoreline, take a refreshing dip in the warm sea, or simply unwind while gazing at the breathtaking sunset. The laid-back atmosphere and unspoiled beauty make Long Set Beach a hidden gem for those seeking a tranquil and idyllic beach retreat on Koh Rong. Lots of bars and restaurants take cash as no atm on the island

The hotel’s location is excellent — right on the seafront and close to the port, which is very convenient. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The hotel did not feel welcoming to Khmer guests. Despite booking 10 rooms for our team, there was no assistance with our luggage, and no staff guided us to our assigned rooms. Additionally, even as in-house guests, we were required to pay a $20 deposit just to reserve a table, which felt unreasonable. The service should be better

Definitely, this beach is worth to be in the list of the most beautiful beaches of the world! Soft white sand, clear blue waters, palms and casuarina trees, several beach cafes, and not overcrowded!

Our first stop from Sihanouk with the speedboat, We stayed for five days on this side,nice and clean beach, white sand, the water is always warmish there’s a place to rent a scooter as well.

This actually very nice beach. Also some restaurants and bars around. So good place to stay

the best coffee on long set!! the offer oat milk and special flavor coffees. the women in the shop is always so kind, and she is so quick. the cups the coffee is served in are such good quality! better than back home. honestly the best coffee i’ve had in the past 3 months while traveling. you need to visit ava cafe! (drink pictures is caramel iced latte with oat milk)

Amazing coffee and reasonably priced. Lovely owner - always smiling and has a cute puppy 🩵

Nice staff, good coffee. Got the iced vanilla latte. Wish they had more fans in the seating area and more dessert options

best quality coffee we have had so far on the island, long beach area !!! strong and yummy!!! super friendly service :)

Perfect coffee is hard to come by on the island but they do it right! Very friendly staff too :)

Food was great!! Food comes when ready which is fine as we were sharing both dishes! Service was a bit slower but we did arrive just as a big group sat down! Which we knew so we ordered quick but the waiter was brilliant otherwise. Pizza was really tasty and the pad Thai is one of the best we’ve had!! Recommend a visit whilst on the island

The vibe is really chill and relaxing. Price is acceptable. Their pizza can never go wrong. Thin, yet crispy and flavourful. Chicken wings fried with some beers are great pairs. Staff are very friendly too.

If you're looking for a place that has it all, this restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for an amazing dining experience. The pizza was a highlight— 24 hours, perfectly crispy crust, toppings. Each bite was a testament to their dedication to quality. If you're a pizza lover, this is a must-try! Their rice dishes were equally impressive. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or adventurous, their rice dishes are flavors and cooked to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of noodles they offer, each dish with its own unique flair. The balance of seasoning and texture was spot on, making it a satisfying choice for noodle enthusiasts. To top it all off, their drink selection was outstanding. From refreshing beverages to perfectly paired drinks with the food, everything com

You can ask for fried rice with no egg to get a vegetarian dish, they also had nice but super oily French fries

Very good food on island the owner so friendly highly recommend this place. at (long set) My friends eat phai Thai so good and delicious 😋

I had a wonderful dining experience at this pizzeria. The restaurant is led by an authentic Italian chef, and you can immediately tell the passion and expertise that go into every pizza. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional,fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and cozy, making it an ideal place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. The location is convenient and easy to find, adding to the overall great experience. Most importantly, the pizza is outstanding. The crust is perfectly baked with a light, crispy texture, while the toppings are generous, fresh, and full of authentic Italian flavor. Every bite tastes like a true slice of Italy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality pizza, excellent service, and a genuine Italian dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

We had a delicious meal at Casa Mia Pizzeria last night. The owners/staff are incredibly friendly. I had a tuna pizza, and my friend had spaghetti carbonara. I haven't had such a delicious pizza in ages. The pizza base... wow! The spaghetti carbonara was also divine. We enjoyed it with a delicious red wine – it was a fantastic dinner. PLEASE NOTE: The current owners took over the pizzeria in February. The negative reviews are directed at the previous manager.

Wow, absolutely fantastic meal and great service. The pizza was easily the best we have had in SE Asia. I have no idea how they get the quality of ingredients all the way to Koh Rong! Also, the wine was great (Amarone) and Aperol Spritz. Would highly recommend.

New owner 🍕 I went to eat at Casa Mia a few days ago. Everything was PERFECT : the decor is beautiful, the staff is very friendly, and on top of that the food is delicious. The chef is Italian, and you can really taste it in the dishes. I had the carbonara pasta, and they were the best I’ve ever eaten!! 🍝

Great authentic ingredients, Carbonara was Incredible! Valerio the Italian Chef was also very nice. 5 stars!
