Palm Village Resort & Spa

This is possibly one of the closest properties to Angkor Wat, so thats definitely great. Plus they offer decently prized tours also. It’s about 10-15 minutes away from the centre, but the hotel organised all tuk tuks for us every time, so we literally had no problem. The room is pretty basic (washroom is clean and well lit) but it works if you are looking for something rustic/non touristy. However, the BEST thing about this place is its ever smiling, helpful staff. I will always remember them as the highlight of my stay.

Pool area was very comfortable.

Very atmospheric and friendly place. The cosy little huts you stay in offer spacious bathrooms and big fridges. The kitchen offers a great variety of regional meals at reasonable prices. On our late arrival it was already closed but we were offered neatly arranged sliced fruit, as the staff in general was extremely friendly and eager to make your stay comfortable. They organised three private tours to the temples and sights for us with a superbly informed guide, who showed us the beaten hot spots as well as his own „hidden“ places inside the vast area.

A Lovely boutique hôtel sourrounded by nature. I really enjoyed chilling at the hotel away from the noisy city vibe. The food is homemade and fresh. The staff is very kind. Close to Angkor Wat. Loved this place ! Will definitely stay again. Just had an issue with: I rented directly from the hotel but it’s better to rent directly at a shop so you know what you are renting ( I biked with 1 gear only 😅). Double check if they send you a car or a bumpy mini van they send to pick you up at the airport.

Highly recommended: Palm Village was everything I needed, an excellent base for visiting the temples, and excellent cuisine for dinner. I don’t think you could eat better anywhere else; the cooking was perfect, with quite a large range of choices on the menu, very healthy. The staff are very hospitable and helpful; they can help you out with local information and services. I mostly used a bike they arranged for me, but they will also have a tuktuk waiting at the front door for you whenever you need it. There’s a lot more positives, besides: This is an oasis of peace in a peaceful area - a local neighbourhood (very nice not to be downtown) - which is nearer to the main temple area, anyway, so you can really unwind, and catch up on sleep. The swimming pool is perfect, too, a great place to relax and swim, with plenty of shade if you need it. The gardens are well-kept with a large variety of plants and trees, and there are hammocks to try as well. My room and bathroom were clean and everything worked well - a/c and fan, fridge, etc. The bathroom was well-done, like new. Overall, I think of Palm Village as another well-kept secret, a unique experience. I’m so glad I chose it. Being in need of a rest, a real break, it was a blessing. I will definitely stay there again if I take another trip to Angkor.
