My partner and I were lucky enough to stay at SoonNoeng Resort for 5 nights. Everything about our experience exceeded our expectations. The resort is situated right next to the pier, very convenient for travel. The beach is stunning with barely anyone on it. The food is incredible, we miss our evening BBQs so much. However, the standout of the whole experience is the staff, we wish we could list everyone’s names. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay and catered for my partners Coeliac’s disease (gluten free). A special big thank you to Vuthy for making our whole trip amazing, and the owners family for inviting us to drinks, we are very grateful. The island was so nice that we extended our stay and were lucky enough to be invited to the resorts New Year’s party, what a night! We will be back in the future, I have no doubt!

We had a wonderful stay here. Mr Thav and the team could not be more welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. The rooms are spacious and clean with big comfortable beds and great aircon. Waters and new towels delivered daily. It's located right off the pier in a quieter location but still walkable to the other bars and hostels. Will definitely be returning when we have the time. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful resort on Koh Rong Sanloem. The location is perfect, right by the pier, making arrival and departure very convenient. We stayed in a beachfront bungalow, and the view was absolutely stunning—waking up to the ocean every morning was a highlight of our trip. The entire property is very well maintained and creates a relaxing, tropical atmosphere. What truly made our stay special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always eager to help. A special thank you goes to Rocco at the reception—he was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to assist us with anything we needed. We can highly recommend this resort and would definitely come back!

My single worst experience in Cambodia at a hotel. When we arrived we were given a room that had mold all over the ceilings and smelled of amonia. We complained and finally were given a different room (after looking at multiple with mold growing on ceiling) The room was okay but toilet smelly and yellowed seat. The WiFi wasn’t accessible most of the time. Had to use neighboring resorts WiFi and my data mostly. Power went out constantly. The restaurant gave me chicken breast that contained bones ( dangerous) I complained and the staff got angry and said to my wife in Khmer (why do you complain after and not before) We complained after finding the piece with bones so I’m not sure what this aggressive staff expected. He proceeded to tell us he had to personally pay for the meal in an aggressive manner. This is not the service that is expected in a resort. Maybe a cheap hostel but still. Puts a bad name to otherwise nice Cambodian hospitality. I’d recommend to reconsider your stay here as if you have any problem the staff will take it out on you and make you feel unsafe. This staff behaviour ruined our entire trip and we couldn’t use the pool after due to worrying about him.

A Koh Rong Sanloem Paradise – We Will Absolutely Be Back! Our group of 7 had an unforgettable stay at SoonNoeng Resort. The long sandy beach is absolutely beautiful, and the water is incredibly clear. Getting here was easy. The water taxi dropped us off directly at the pier right in front of the resort property. The service here truly stands out. The bartenders and restaurant staff were so kind and attentive. Every single night, they made sure our large group had a table beautifully set up with perfect views of the ocean. The food was delightful and relatively inexpensive. Draft beers were a massive hit at only 1 euro each! The free breakfast was also fantastic and filled with options. They served breads, sweets, noodles, rice dishes, fruits, veggies, coffee, tea, and eggs cooked to order. The accommodations were very nice. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were large. The air conditioning worked great in my room. However, my son's family did have to change rooms because their aircon did not cool properly. The staff handled everything well, and the rest of the amenities more than made up for it. The resort grounds are highly maintained. The grounds and the beach are raked and kept clean hourly. There are comfortable lounge chairs and hammocks spread all throughout the compound, and the big pool is fantastic for lounging around. If you have some time, make sure to walk to the other side of the island. The natural, undeveloped beach over there is one of the most beau

Coco restaurant

Restaurants 2.3 km 29 min walk 4.8/5 on Google

Coco restaurant is 2.3 km north-west of SoonNoeng Resort — about 29 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The other place under “restaurants” within reach of SoonNoeng Resort is Seapony Cafe (6.2 km).

Coco is a casual restaurant on Saracen Bay in Koh Rong Samloem, set around a small private pier that lights up at night. It serves Cambodian dishes alongside breakfast options and cocktails in a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. The space is clean and simple, with bungalows nearby, and visitors consistently mention the evening ambiance and sunrise views across the bay.

Visitors praise the food quality and freshness across all meals. The breakfast set—comprising egg, toast, pancake, fruit salad, fruit shake, and tea or coffee—draws regular praise for value and portion size that sustains through the day. Diners also recommend the green Kampot pepper squid, lok lak chicken, curry chicken, and amok. Staff attentiveness is frequently mentioned. The main reservation some visitors note is that portions are smaller than expected, though most found them adequate and tasty. The restaurant draws both tourists staying nearby and travellers specifically worth the walk to visit.

The restaurant opens from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM daily, making it viable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It suits anyone staying in the Saracen Bay area or willing to walk from neighbouring resorts. The best time to visit is early morning to catch the sunrise over the water, which multiple visitors describe as the highlight of their stay.

Sunset Beach

Parks & nature 2.7 km 4.7/5 on Google

Sunset Beach is 2.7 km west of SoonNoeng Resort — a short ride rather than a walk.

Sunset Beach sits on Koh Rong Samloem island, reached by a 30-minute hike from Saracen Bay. The final approach is a steep jungle descent of roughly 100 metres with ropes along the way; the return climb is shorter but more demanding. The beach itself is a crescent of soft white sand backed by trees, with calm, clear turquoise water shallow enough to feel like a pool. A handful of low-key bars and restaurants blend into the vegetation along the shore, designed for watching the sunset rather than drawing crowds.

Visitors consistently describe the beach as peaceful and quiet, a place that genuinely feels removed from tourist infrastructure. The water clarity and calmness are often mentioned as standout features. People appreciate that the beach has not been over-developed—structures are minimal and tucked away. If you are considering the hike, several visitors note that mosquitoes are a significant presence in the jungle section, particularly as you approach the beach, and recommend bringing substantial repellent. The steep terrain on both directions of the walk is real and worth preparing for physically.

Go in the dry season or as the wet season ends, when the jungle path is more passable. The hike demands reasonable fitness and proper footwear with grip. Sunset Beach suits travellers seeking genuine quiet and willing to work for it—those looking for easy beach access or developed amenities should stay in Saracen Bay instead. Bring water, mosquito protection, and realistic expectations about the climb.

Seapony Cafe

Restaurants 6.2 km 4.8/5 on Google

Seapony Cafe is 6.2 km north-west of SoonNoeng Resort — a short ride rather than a walk.

The other place under “restaurants” within reach of SoonNoeng Resort is Coco restaurant (2.3 km).

A relaxed breakfast and lunch café in M'Pai Bai village on Koh Rong Samloem, set in a garden setting that guests describe as calm and homely. The kitchen bakes its own bagels and bread, and the menu runs through omelettes, smoothie bowls, breakfast burritos, pancakes, eggs on toast, and cinnamon French toast, alongside coffee, smoothies, and milkshakes made with homemade ice cream. Vegetarian options are available and dishes can be adjusted on request.

Reviews are consistently enthusiastic, with several visitors saying they returned day after day during their stay on the island. The bagels come up again and again as a highlight, along with the freshly baked bread, the espresso and banana smoothie, and the passion fruit smoothie, though one guest found the latter sweeter than expected. The friendliness of the staff is mentioned repeatedly, including one account of the team remembering a regular's coffee order after just a couple of visits. Prices are noted as being on the higher side for the island, but reviewers generally feel the quality justifies the cost.

Seapony Cafe opens daily from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM except Tuesdays, which makes it a breakfast-and-lunch destination rather than an evening one. Given its popularity, arriving earlier in the morning is a sensible move, especially if you want a table in the garden. It suits travellers staying in or near M'Pai Bai who want a reliably good, unhurried start to the day, and it is worth returning to more than once given the range of the menu.

M'Pai Bay

Sights 6.3 km 4.5/5 on Google

M'Pai Bay is 6.3 km north-west of SoonNoeng Resort — a short ride rather than a walk.

M'Pai Bay is a forested bay on Koh Rong Samloem with an active fishing village at its centre. The settlement sits on a sandy beach with jungle trails nearby, and the bay itself has clear water suitable for swimming. The village has a working community feel—locals, expats, and visitors coexist here rather than the bay serving purely as a resort destination. Small coffee places and casual restaurants line the beach, serving both Cambodian and Western dishes.

Visitors consistently describe the place as a hidden gem with genuine village atmosphere. Reviewers mention the warm local community, the relaxed vibe, and the appeal of experiencing real island life rather than a polished tourist enclave. Dogs run free, children play openly, and the overall tone is informal and unhurried. The beach itself draws praise for its beauty and swimming conditions. Some visitors express regret at not staying longer, suggesting the bay rewards a multi-day visit over a quick tour stop.

The bay is accessible as a day trip from Saracen Bay or other parts of the island, but the village is best experienced if you stay overnight or longer. The area operates year-round. This suits travellers seeking an understated island experience with genuine local interaction rather than curated resort facilities—those wanting beachside restaurants, swimming, and village exploration without commercialisation should find it appealing.

Bar Bok Bowie

Bars 6.3 km 5.0/5 on Google

Bar Bok Bowie is 6.3 km north-west of SoonNoeng Resort — a short ride rather than a walk.

Bar Bok Bowie sits above the cliffs at M'Pai Bay on Koh Rong Samloem, a small bar run by expat owners Sharon and Jon who stayed on the island through the pandemic before opening here in 2023. The draw is the setting: a clear view over the cliffs and sea that turns into a proper sunset spot come evening, paired with a cocktail list that runs well beyond the usual island offerings, including a coconut espresso martini and gin and rum mixes. There is food too, with spring rolls and a chicken roll dish mentioned more than once, plus a pop-up kitchen on Sunday nights.

Visitors are consistent in their enthusiasm here, praising the friendliness of the owners and staff, the quality and creativity of the drinks, and the view itself. Reggae Sunday comes up repeatedly as a highlight, with live music and a good atmosphere that pulls people back more than once during their stay. Several reviewers mention snacks served free alongside drinks, and the resident dog gets a friendly nod too. No real complaints surface in the reviews, though the bar's small size and popularity suggest it is not the place for a quiet, empty corner during peak sunset hours.

Go for sunset, and stay through the evening if you can, especially on a Sunday when the reggae night and pop-up food add to the draw. It suits couples and travellers looking for a relaxed but slightly elevated spot to drink well rather than just cheaply, and it is worth checking local noticeboards or chat groups for event timings, since opening hours and special nights can shift. Given the setting and the small scale, arriving a little before sunset is a sensible move if a table with a view matters to you.
