My stay was great here and I wanted to write a review because Phally really went out of the way to help take me to a secluded spot at night in order for me to swim with the glowing plankton, providing me with a snorkeling mask as well and waited until I was done to walk me back. The dome I stayed in was very clean and cute and breakfast was delicious as well. The shuttle to and from the ferry was also quick and efficient. Highly recommend for anyone who comes to Koh Rong Samloem.

This is a nice peaceful resort. Only 20 minute walk along beach to bars/restaurants. The Staff here are very helpful and pleasant. The beach in front is kept very clean by the resort. Breakfast good. Free use of kayak and paddleboard. We took a dome room on the beach. All the rooms have nice little patios. Good housekeeping. Would come back.

The rooms are interesting but very clean and quite spacious. Beautiful beach where you can take out the kayak or paddleboard for free. Breakfast is very good. Didn’t eat lunch or dinner so can’t comment. The Staff are nice and helpful. To the left of the resort there are plenty of restaurants/ bars walkable. Lazy Beach is walkable as well on a trail. Very peaceful resort. Really enjoyed it actually stayed 4 extra days.

A stunning position

The hotel is right on the beach with places a 5 minute walk along the beach. Apart from the breakfast included, we thought the dining prices were too high.
I had no hot ( or even warm) water for the 4 nights I stayed despite reporting the problem on a daily basis.
Cleaning our rooms ( you get a lot of sand from the beach) was not a daily occurrence and had to be requested. Water and tea bags etc were therefore not replenished without prompting.

This resort was Soooo nice. The staff were beyond friendly and accommodating. They upgraded us to one of the dome rooms on the beach which was clean and lovely. Every meal we ate in the restaurant was delicious. The swings and suspended beds out front really were a godsend and were the perfect place to while away the hours on the beach. This place was perfect in every way!

Very nice and unique hotel. Private and quite perfect for a romantic getaway or just to disconnect. They offer free kayaks and can arrange other activities around the island. Great service and attentiveness and flexibility of staff. Clean space and beach the hotel maintains the beachfront well. There are a few restaurants and a convenience store nearby and overall a very chill atmosphere

Pure paradise wonderful experience!

It's pure paradise- the best place to stay on the island as we walked around and seen many other places. The idea of Moonlight Resort and round domes with window in the ceiling so you can see stars and are woke up by sun is excellent and something to remember forever. We are so happy to be there in the low season when it was so quiet that we felt almost alone with the whole paradise just for ourselves:) The service is very polite and nice, 5* -thank you so much for upgrading our reservation so we could enjoy a dome. The common area with big swing lounges, palm trees and jacuzzi is so beautiful and perfectly arranged that you don't feel like going anywhere, it's perfect:) The location is also great -close to the main pier and 'downtown' of Saracen Bay, but beautiful quiet part of the beach and next to the path to the Lazy beach. The resort serves wide selection of delicious breakfasts and has good restaurant and you can eat in beautiful surronding next to the sea. Free taxi boat transfers you from and to the ferry. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been- strongly recomend. After busy season it just needs a bit maintance and paint to glow again which is probably planned now in low season.

A Unique Vibe

A really lovely stay on a very special beach. Glad I stayed somewhere with a unique vibe. A couple of the domes had some graffiti on them which was odd, not sure why that hadn't been covered over and glad I didn't stay in one of those. My one needed a lick of pain and a few repairs but nothing to detract and would recommend it.

Stunning private resort! We booked family villa with private jacuzzi that came with 2 rooms. Each rooms had one king size bed and 2 pullout twin beds under them. It’s perfect for 2 families of 8 people. The resort is in a perfect location surrounded by lush trees, white sand beach, and calm ocean. The water was so warm, just perfect for December tropical weather. The hotel also provided paddle board, kayak, and snorkeling that we used without extra charge. Front desk staff and restaurant employees made our vacation even more special! They were very professional and super friendly. They went out of their way to make us feel like we have the resort booked just for us. Lunch and dinner at the resort were always amazing. The hotel staff set up a nice romantic new year eve dinner for us with a fireworks. Not to mention their amazing drinks, our favorite was Welcome drink with Rum. Thank Moonlight Resort crews for a relaxing and memorable vacation! I highly recommend Moonlight Resorts to everyone!

If you are looking peace alone, or with family and loved ones. Moonlight resort is the palce to be. Zero hustle and bustle of crowds. Very laid back and easy. Read a book, swim, or just sit on the beach napping. Ioved it. Just what i needed on this trip after working so hard.

The hotel is under threat of closure and it shows. For lunch it would be better to have a menu that shows what they actually have to avoid disappointment. The evening meal was unpredictable, sometimes great sometimes awful. Luckily there is a great place next door. Nobody seems to care. The place is lifeless and neglected. Sadly I have to say go elsewhere.

skuffende oplevelse

- Beliggenheden er rigtig god, lidt tilbage trukket fra stranden, så det føltes lidt mere privat end de andre steder, hvilket var dejligt.
- maden var god.
- Rengøring af værelserne var rigtig gode.

- stedet trænger snart til en renovering eller vedligholdelse
- manglende rengøring af fælles områder, stier til værelser var godt beskidte hver dag.
- der er ingen service ved solstolene. Da vi så går op og vil bestille, siger han sp at han sender en ned til os så vi kan bestille, de kommer så efter 10-15 min.. og nu var vi jo alligevel gået op til baren.
- Det er alt alt for dyrt i forhold til stand og service
- den ene dag ville vi have pizza samt shakes, begge ting havde de ikke da deres blender ting var gået i stykker samt ovnen også var i stykker.

We had a lovely stay here! We booked 2 nights and actually wanted to extend but they were fully booked! We booked a standard room and got upgraded to the dome for no extra charge (it was great!). The room has awesome natural light, recommend. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We also had other meals there and can say they have a good restaurant. The beach area is super relaxing and the swings on the trees make for great photos and relaxation ;) Stay here, you won't regret it.

We stayed 4 nights in 2 dome rooms.

Cons:

We requested pickup from the pier but when we arrived there was no one meeting us. We even got this confirmed that they would meet us days before arrival.

There was no massage service as advertised

The WiFi in the rooms was not stable and slow, roomservice did not pick up dirty plates/coffe cups we had to tell them and after 2 days.

The staff was not very helpful and gave you the angry eye when you ask for anything.

For the high price we paid we expected better service and a nicer place, the place also needs some general maintenance for example the sunbeds looked like they came directly from the garbage.

Pros:

The dome room was cool to stay in and spacious.

The pizza and the food we had from the restaurant was fine

Location is good but if you looking for the best white beach this is not the place, it's very relaxing and quiet.

The fresh smell from the bathroom after every cleaning was nice

I enjoyed my stay. The water, beach and scenery are amazing on Koh Rong Sanloem. Moonlight staff was great. The location is down the beach away from the main restaurants and bars, which makes it nice and quiet. Definitely family friendly and relaxing. On the downside, the food was just OK. I only ate lunch there once, and the breakfast because it was included. I ate the rest of my meals elsewhere.

Nice location on the island.
Rooms in need of some TLC our room the floor tiles were lifting up , bathroom door only hanging on one hinge.
Breakfast very poor regardless of what you ordered it came with the same on the side ie spinach, tinned mushrooms and what was supposed to be hash brown was cake and served cold.
Western manager really not very helpful to the staff, rude and not interested in talking to customers when you had a problem.
Overpriced and wouldn’t choose to stay again. The one resort next door is 100% better in all ways.

A comfortable stay in a lovely location.

We loved our stay at Moonlight resort - a really different style from others on the island. Room was spacious and comfortable with good bed linen , good size beach towels , umbrella (needed unfortunately !) and loved the snug area with the day bed.
Breakfast was good quality and a good choice for different nationalities. Staff were attentive and friendly. Good location on the beach with the boat pick up from the ferry pier making arrival and departure very easy,
Yes the domes need repainting and also I think the lounger cushions aren’t in good condition. Minor points but worth the management attending too.

I would highly recommend this hotel.

Better than others. We stayed in the Dome room. The outside of the dome had green on it and some of the windows had cracks and there was no hot water. There was no cable only a hard drive with old movies to watch. I kept count we lost power 5 times in our 3 day stay during which it rained endlessly for 3 days straight. On the better note the staff was the best and took care of you with anything you needed even offered free speedboat rides to and from the island

The property is right in the beach which is amazing. You simple can’t get enough of the view. We stayed in igloo-like dome with a beautiful round design. The room inside is spacious with big bed. Every villa has a small terrace with sun beds and tables and you can access the beach right from there. They provide a hard drive with movies to watch, as they have no tv channels. There were only families and couples staying here, so it was quite in general.
BE AWARE FOR INSECTS! There are a lot of insects in the beach (moscitos and sand flies), there are uv lamps in the room as well as insect spray, but they still get inside of the apartment. One day we had even a small lizard in the room.
Restaurant is quite good with long list of options. Almost everything we tried was delicious (mussels, pizzas) with some misses (crabs - small and no meat). Breakfast was not a buffet, as in most places, but has to be pre-ordered from the list with quite few options. Breakfast may leave a big man quite empty. In general, the service in the restaurant was sometimes very slow. Although the food was prepared prepared quite quickly, we often waited a lot to get the bill and get plates taken away. At times, at lunch, nobody was even to be found out in the restaurant.
The resort in general has some signs of decay (yellow stains in the swimming pool, stains in the inside and outside walls of igloos). Overall, we liked the resort, but it need a bit work to make it perfect.

Over priced and needs urgent attention

Ruined our trip to Cambodia staying at Moonlight Resort for Christmas as there were so many problems for which I am still awaiting an explanation for and compensation but am continually being ignored by the owner.
To keep it brief these are the problems we experienced and also watched other guests having similar problems which were totally unexceptable for the extortionate price we paid.

No hot water in room
No WiFi in room
No electric in room for 2/3 hours per day
Generator broke so one day no electric for eight hrs.
TV - films cut off after 1 hour so don’t get end of film
Leaking roof in Restaurant area
Plunge pools not working
No parasols with sun beds on beach
Suitcases taken by boat to ferry and got wet so arrived at next hotel with wet clothes
