Sokkhak Boutique Resort

The best decision I've made was to book our stay at the Sokkhak Boutique Resort in Siem Reap. In case you're looking for an intimate, relaxing, romantic venue with spot on service, then do not hesitate any longer, this is undoubtedly the perfect place for you! In a nutshell since my review is quite long, Sokkhak resort offers a peaceful and relaxing environment, far from all those big hotels/factories for tour- operators. Everything is refined and they're very much into those small details that makes a big difference. The true gem of that hotels resides in its staff, offering an impeccable service from the heart, anticipating all our needs and expectations, and always going the extra mile to make our stay more enjoyable. I would like to thank and particularly highlight Ostraly, Sophal, Chanty, Sunny, Tina, Mouet; but also all the other staff working in the back end. Our experience started before our stay, with a friendly message from Ostraly, offering to assist us with all arrangements for our stay. Upon arrival, Sophal was waiting for us at the airport and drove us to the hotel with our suitcases by tuk-tuk. We were welcomed with a genuine smile and friendly "welcome home", cold towels and refreshing welcome drinks. Ostraly reviewed all details of our stay with us and assisted us organizing our massage session and visits. Our room was spacious, refined and beautifully decorated. A nice message was displayed on the bed, and the bathroom was decorated with flowers. The resort offers a beautiful salty water pool nestled in a tropical lush, a great restaurant serving a succulent cuisine with impeccable service for breakfast/lunch and dinner, and a couple room massage upon request (totally recommend the 90 minutes Khmer massage, so relaxing!). Our room was spacious, refined and beautifully decorated. A nice message was displayed on the bed, and the bathroom was decorated with flowers. The resort offers a beautiful salty water pool nestled in a tropical lush, a great restaurant serving a succulent cuisine with impeccable service for breakfast/lunch and dinner, and a couple room massage upon request (totally recommend the 120 minutes Khmer massage, so relaxing!). The food was tasty, with a nice variety, and a very good approach to the local cuisine (special mention for the eggplant salad, fish amok, and Khmer delicacy consisting of banana and coconut). Ostraly arranged for us a two days tour of the main Angkor temples, with Theara, a friendly English speaking guide, and Sophal driving us all day long from one point to another by tuk-tuk, offering us cold water and refreshing scented cold towels between each stop. Each time we came back to the hotel from our excursions, the team greeted us with a tea or cold drink (ginger, lemongrass, pandas leaves, etc.). Since we wanted to visit an authentic local market to buy some souvenirs, the team nicely oriented us to the "Made in Cambodia market", selling locally handicrafts items. Authentic, and at a more reasonable price compared to some tourist markets selling made in China items. As stated earlier, our wonderful stay was the combination of a fantastic hotel and an amazing team. I would without hesitation recommend anyone to stay there.

Across all my many travels this is by far one of my best experiences (top3) when it comes to service, quality and professionalism. Forget anything else and stay here. Very easy to get to the centre with the great benefit of peace and quiet (a little paradise in itself). The amazing staff will treat you like royalty and look after you. They set a new standard in hospitality, unseen yet always present. The sister spa and restaurants are great and keep the same high level of standards. I would recommend this boutique hotel to all my friends and family. Will definitely come back!
