The resort offers Deluxe and Premium Khmer Bungalows built on stilts with handmade furniture and large verandas overlooking gardens. Each bungalow is fully air-conditioned and includes a private bathroom with a standalone bathtub. Premium bungalows provide additional outdoor space with terraces for relaxation.
Dining
