“Thank you to Jonathan and the staff at Samanea for such warm and welcoming service. Samanea is a small well kept resort with a good sized pool and excellent restaurant on the coast in Kep. The resort had a nice calmness about it, so it is a great place if you want to relax.
The rooms are comfortable and a good size. It is not top end luxury but superb value and clean and well maintained. I recommend the restaurant and lazing on the loungers by the sea, letting time drift by.
We did the TYKA Boat Cruise and it was a really great day out; I really recommend it. A short walk into Kep or a 3$ tuk-tuk. I would go to the Pepper Plantation and Kampot which are both a tuk-tuk’s ride away. We will be back next year as we had a lovely time.”
