From a Western perspective, you might find that the Cambodian experience generally, feels a bit different — sometimes in ways that catch you off guard. Things don’t always work the way you might expect, and that can be disappointing if you're holding them up to a ‘Western’ standard. But they can also be the things that add to the country’s charm. There was something uniquely Cambodian about the whole Palm Beach experience — a rawness, warmth, and authenticity that I haven’t found elsewhere. And if you can let go of the idea that everything should run like it does back home, you’ll find so, so much to enjoy. Salacia’s Suite captures that balance wonderfully. It’s welcoming, comfortable and friendly without pretending to offer the polish of a resort. It’s not about five-star perfection — it’s about character, atmosphere, and making you feel like you’re part of the place. Whether you’re into exploring local culture or just want a relaxing spot to unwind, Salacia’s Suite has something for just about everyone. Just come with an open mind and a bit of curiosity, and you’ll likely leave with some unforgettable memories.

…everything; it was our perfect stay. But we especially enjoyed the village atmosphere: boozing with fisherman on a rainy day while waiting for the seafood hand-selected from the boat’s catch the night before, to be prepared for our enjoyment. Don’t miss the cornershop’s steamed pumpkin cake!

We were informed that we could easily order to get the food delivered, but we needed to go to the restaurant to make the order. It was not possible to order for both lunch and dinner at the same time since it was not “possible in the system”. Not the biggest issue but a bit inconvenient. It could easily be fixed with a what’s app number to text to. (They had another unknown app but it did not work to download when we tried). When ordering in the bar, it was also a bit of chaotic and felt like a lot of new staff (only one specific knew how to take breakfast order and payments). Also when asking for refill of the complimentary water for second night, the receptionist said it was only when cleaning. I said they did not need to spend time on cleaning, we only needed the water. But “no, only when cleaning”. So I said “okey, then clean” and they sent three people to clean - which was totally unnecessary. So the service level could have been better.

The most amazing place we have ever stayed at! The accommodation was so much better than the pictures shows! We stayed two nights but we could easily have stayed a few more nights. The room is located away from the property which is both good and bad. Good because of the privacy and very nice view. Bad because we lived door to door with locals, who were sweet but listened to high music from time to time and also sang a lot of karaoke. Nothing that the hotel can change but did make an impact on the stay. The food was great and with reasonable prices. They also helped with renting a scooter. Great restaurant and bar facilities. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

Godwin, 22, Phillipines citizen:”The location itself was very beautiful. Everything was cleaned and organized. They have this floating bed which was a really good idea because you can relax there while watching the waves and the sunset. You can play your favorite song or you can make a party at night with your friends and loved ones using their big Bluetooth speaker. I would love to go back and spend more time there.”

I ordered English breakfast but they give me different meal. The waiter did not allowed us to eat in the room I mean what’s the use of those many tables in the room if we cannot use it?

The location itself was very beautiful it goes directly to the beach. It has this floating bed which I really like cause I can relax, watching the waves of the ocean and the sunset while listening to my favorite song to their Bluetooth speaker.

Some employees a bit lost, when asked if we were at the good place for checking-in they told me no…

This place is exceptional. Beautiful and comfortable, worth every euro spent. Would have booked more night if available. 😍 Breakfast included brought to the door. Check-in in the restaurants of palm beach Bungalow

can't think of anything

If you cannot afford the more expensive Saa Song private Island Hotel, this is definitly the next best option! They bring your breakfast to your room at the requested time. It was the perfect way to finish our holiday in Cambodia

The communication in advance should be improved. It should have made clear how to check in.

It's a true paradise. Very special and unique set-up. Quiet, right at the water, private, and all one could ask for.

A bit humid

Beautiful place-literally felt like paradise. Owner was friendly and amazing. The snorkelling day trip couldn’t be recommended enough- highlight of our entire time in Cambodia!

Wish there was more to do at the evenings.

The suite is everything! Every detail of the room was thought with love and comfort. We enjoyed the bed swing and the hammocks by the sea, and loved the food! Even though there’s no a/c, the fans and the breeze do the job of keeping the room breezy. Miri was a wonderful host, and here beautiful story is worth hearing.

Nothing.

I was so impressed! It was like a perfect honeymoon suite! If you like to be social you can hang out in the bar with the rest of the guests. The staff and owners were really helpful and service minded!

not much else around

What an complete gem! Absolutely stunning surroundings in a really cute villa right over the water. This is a place you will never forget. Not located in the party part of the island if that's what you are looking for but absolutely worth a visit while in koh rong. The staff at Palm Beach are adorable and did everything possible to make out stay unforgettable. Thansk you!

That we had to leave, cause I want to live there.

Best ever. As a regular guest on Palmbeach I stayed this time for two days in Salacia’s Suite on the Palmbeach pier. Never had such an amazing room in my life. Just walk out of your bed into the sea. 100% privacy on your private terrace with a swing bed, sofa and a special kind of hammocks above the sea. Sleeping with the doors open the sea breeze fluttering your bed sheets, like a dream. I would call it a honeymoon suite. This bungalow standing in the sea is incomparable with all the new concrete bungalows on the island. For the rest of my life there will be no hotel room good enough anymore.

The accommodation is very rustic and has a lovely view out over the water. The location is very secluded and good for those wanting to get away. The seclusion is also a bit of a negative as there are no immediate options other than the Palm Beach restaurant/bar, although their food and staff are quite good. There is only fans in the suite and no AC which means the humidity is at 90% all the time over the water.
