Samanea Beach Resort & Spa  

In Kep’s seaside corner, connected to a shopping center and minutes from Crab Market. A short drive puts you at Kep National Park, Kep Beach and the boats to Koh Tonsay, with Phnom Chisor and Kampot night markets within easy reach.

This colonial-style resort has just 12 individually decorated rooms—think Select Comfort beds with premium/Egyptian cotton sheets, fireplaces in some rooms, sofa beds, LCD TVs and DVD players. Rooms open to private furnished balconies or patios and feature deep-soak tubs plus separate rainfall showers; a communal kitchen is also available.

Soak up sea-breeze mornings on a private beach or by the outdoor pool, then recharge at the full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials. There’s a poolside bar, bar/lounge and cafe, plus a daily complimentary reception, babysitting (surcharge), yoga area, library, picnic and BBQ spots and a kids’ playroom—pet-friendly stays are welcome.

Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet, a business center and event/meeting facilities make work easy. Express check-in, a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) and free self-parking are available onsite.

On-site restaurant and coffee shop serve local flavors, with a poolside bar and bar/lounge for sunset drinks. Expect a complimentary buffet breakfast each morning (7:00–10:00 AM) and limited-hours room service; daily receptions are a social highlight.
