Spent 6 wonderful nights at the amazing Song Saa Private Island. We arrived by plane from Siem Reap to be met outside arrivals by the Song Saa team. A short ride to the port where we waited in the Song Saa private lounge before a very pleasant 40 minute speedboat journey to the island. On arrival we were met by Tommy, the hotel GM, and a dozen or so of the team (more than 150 staff in total to look after you in only 24 rooms) before we were taken to our over water villa (we booked the 2 bedroom and were upgraded to the Royal). The villa was amazing with gorgeous views across the gulf to the larger island of Koh Rong and a good sized plunge pool on the outside deck. Bedrooms were huge with comfortable living area as well as a large dining table and small kitchen. The island is small but perfectly sized with sandy pathways between 2 restaurants, spa, sports area, a small beach and lovely ocean side pool. Most days it was just the 3 of us and maybe one or two other families by the pool. My wife and daughter enjoyed the spa facilities a number of times and we did some off island snorkeling which was very enjoyable. As well as the standard dinner menu every evening there is a chef's special menu of 3 appetizers, 3 entrees and 2 desserts. The lovely thing about this is that the menu can be served anywhere. We enjoyed eating by the pool, on the beach and in both the restaurants on specially set up tables for us. Really wonderful. Lunch menu was removed during the Covid epidemic and we are assured it is about to be re-introduced but in any case the team will do whatever they can to accommodate you. I had a club sandwich and burrito neither of which are on any menu. Everything about Song Saa is focused on guest satisfaction. We are fortunate enough to stay in 5* hotels all over the world and the staff at Song Saa are truly amongst the best we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Every single staff member we interacted with from house keeping (excellent by the way) to restaurant staff could not have been more pleasant, attentive and charming. One small comment on billing. Like every other 5* hotel I have ever stayed in over 30 years the billing is the same. Whether its at the end of a dinner or a day by the pool there's just one bill to sign. We couldn't recommend Song Saa highly enough if you have the opportunity to visit and are looking for total relaxation.

The ocean view villas were spectacular. Beautiful views everywhere all over the island. Service was awesome and the different dinner destinations was a very different and nice experience. The food was mediocre at best for the caliber of resort. Dinners were better and breakfast was ok but lunch was awful. Everything you ordered from a soda to a drinks you were brought a bill to sign. It was very annoying. You were on an island you could not leave unless you left on their boat so I don’t understand why they couldn’t wait until the end to give you the final bill. With how much it cost to stay there I can’t believe they charged me $15 for a pair of two dollar flip-flops when mine broke!!! You couldn’t go in the beach, it was full of rocks and sea urchins. You had to stay in the overwater villas to jump in the water one of their ridiculously expensive Excursions. Been too many places like this other parts of the world and never again! There were even ripped chairs!!!

This place was far more beautiful and polished than i had imagined. The rooms are amazing and in a stunning location. The boat trip over was effortless! Everything was perfect from house keeping to the restaurant. Everyone was so helpful and happy, with a special shout out to Kim who looked after us so attentively! The Scuba diving was great, with lots of different dive sites- no huge fish but nice and clear, giant Puffa Fish a plenty, with rich colourful corals and plenty of reef fish activity. The Island reef has Blue Rays which was a nice treat to see. Watersports- great Kayak trip to the Mangroves and around the Island. Wakeboarding was perfect with a nice flat sea to play on. Sol and his crew are so attentive and helpful to keep the day nice and active! Not to mention the luminescent plankton night Snorkel at the Island- its like having glowing frogspawn all over you- a very strange experience but truly awesome and unusual. So glad i visited this place for New Years Eve- they went way beyond any experience i have had, setting up so many different stations around the island with an array of different flavours of food and drink before the main event which again had beautiful food whilst watching a stunning acrobatics display. What a way to end the year and start a new one!! If you are in Cambodia, you cannot leave this off the list of your visits. Forgot to mention my wife loved the Spa here too!!

The perfect paradise Island escape. After a warm welcome at the harbor lounge and a 40 minute boat trip in a fantastic clean and safe speed boat we reached the tropical bliss island. The amazing Song Saa team gave us a lovely welcome and we felt immediately the good vibes and professional care from everyone. Can’t say how amazed we were about the Song Saa team. We stayed at one of the stunning private ocean front villas. Dipping into our private pool every morning, having an outdoor shower, hanging out at our lounge bed… always with the great view off the ocean and the house reeve. The villa was very spacious and beautifully designed. Talking about the design, lots of the beautiful outdoor furnitures at the island are made out of drift wood, and left with natural patina mixed with luxurious design all environmental friendly. The sustainability is one of the reasons Song Saa makes a difference to most of the luxurious islands. We had the chance to talk to Claire about the Song Saa Foundation and learned a lot about corals, nature, education, medical care and waist management on the Cambodian islands. There is so much love and respect for the nature and the people of Cambodia and you can feel it with every step on this barefoot island. Thanks again to Tommy and his lovely team for making our stay the most pleasant and relaxing we could ever wish for.
