The Angkor Palace Resort & Spa is a beautiful lush resort a mere 5 min drive from the Siem Reap International Airport and a 10 min drive from the city centre.
When I arrived
To announce your arrival at the resort, you hit the drum at the entrance.
I received a warm local welcome: a welcome drink and a gift, a blue Khmer scarf. I also received a cold towel, which was much appreciated in the humid Siem Reap weather.
Rooms
I stayed in a deluxe room with a sliding room that opens onto a private patio with a great garden view. The room is very close to the pool.
The room has a king bed, a TV, a refrigerator, a minibar with air-conditioning and climate control. It also has a desk and chair, and tea and coffee making facilities.
The spacious ensuite bathroom has a bathtub and a shower.
Breakfast
Every morning breakfast is served in The Sunset Café from 06h00 to 10h00. As I entered the café, I was immediately seated and offered tea and coffee.
You can expect an international breakfast buffet, including juices, fresh fruit and yoghurt, a selection of pastries, eggs done every way and warm breakfast favourites like meat, pancakes and waffles. There is also interesting Chinese and Indian dishes.
