Angkor Village was absolutely fabulous and we were glad we made this our resort of choice for our first visit to Cambodia. What first struck us was the friendliness of the staff - they made us feel so welcome by their warm smiles and the great effort in ensuring our stay is comfortable and our creature needs taken care of. We felt we could trust them enough to tell them everything immediately on our first encounter! They were quick to offer valuable travel advice. Sina, our host, was delightfully helpful. The only gripe I have was non-committal replies to enquiries on tuk-tuk fares, but to be fair, the tuk-tuks fares are rather unpredictable, and much would have depended on how hard you negotiate.
The lush greeneries in the well tended garden brought nature to our doorsteps. We love the garden concept and the peace and quietness it offered. If the place is fumigated frequently to rid the garden of the mosquitoes, I think I would have enjoyed the outdoors a lot more.
Getting housekeeping on the phone is a little bit of a challenge, but all you need to do is pop your head out of the main door, wait for the next chambermaid to come along and simply pose your request, and you can be sure it'll be met in double quick time.
The 200m long swimming pool was a change from the norm. Swimming the whole length means you'd have covered the chalet blocks from one end to the other. It was wonderful just basking under the sun on the multiple deckchairs lining alongside the pool.
All in all, a wonderful experience!
