“Pros:
– Spacious, traditional-style villas with large bathrooms complete with outdoor showers and hot tubs
– Very peaceful, lush landscaped grounds with stunning views over the Bay of Thailand and Bokor Mountain
– Extremely friendly, helpful and attentive staff
– Sea View restaurant menu is focused but of great quality, and the unlimited a la carte breakfast is a delightful start to the day
– Lounges and huts overlooking the pool & sea are quiet and comfortable
Cons
– The private beach is man-made and the sea water is very shallow and not suitable for swimming
– Our Junior Suite Villa front doors didn’t completely close shut
Considerations:
– The resort is located between a mangrove which can heighten the alert for mosquitoes
– The centre of Kep is a 5 minute tuk tuk ride away
Bottom Line:
The Samanea Beach Resort makes for a very pleasant stay in Kep and is a great choice for its views, excellent staff and reasonable room rates for the area”
