We had a truly enriching experience in this trip. The service level was of level we have never seen before. Our guide Dy met us at the airport and was with us for every single activity all the way to seeing us off at the airport. She was very very nice, knowledgeable and easy to converse with. Our itinerary was just right, although we really wish we had (at least) one more day in Siem Reap. Every single thing was taken care of in the package, the guide with the transport of the day would meet us at our hotel at exactly the scheduled time and drop us back for our free time when the scheduled part ended. The car (a Lexus SUV) was very nice and comfortable, and the tuktuk and the tuktuk driver we used on one of our days was also very nice. Dy is also an expert cyclist and guided us very gently on our cycling tour of the temples. The kayaking team was also super-nice and ensured we had an amazing day even when it was so hot. They think of everything - there's always cold water to drink, cold towels to freshen you up. Our 'dine with the locals' activity was truly special and we are so happy we could interact with a Cambodian family in their own home. Our driver 'Yaya' was also very sweet and would buy us different snacks while he waited.
The quality of rooms and the service at hotel Sokkhak Boutique was also beyond words. I have never had such warm and courteous and thoughtful service anywhere I have been.
Cambodia (Siem Reap/Angkor) as a destination itself was a whole other fabulous experience. I don't think I can write so much here. Only that everyone MUST VISIT and just do that with this travel agency.
All in all, we are simply out of words (other than a string of superlatives) to describe our experience.
Hotel Review
Sokkhak Boutique Resort
Siem Reap City
Beautiful and quiet and green property. Absolutely warm, kind, smiling, friendly and thoughtful service. I had a fantastic massage there too. Don't think further, just stay here.
Authenticity & Character
It didn't look like a cookie-cutter multinational chain. It looks actually like a large home with many bedrooms (like a 'bed and breakfast'). The decor is with local aesthetic and art. There was always a fragrance of lemongrass, I loved it.
They would make a welcome art on the bed also with some local natural leaves and flowers.
Location
quiet, yet close (small tuktuk ride) to the happening spots.
Staff
extremely thoughtful, courteous and friendly.
Cleanliness & Comfort
It's clean and comfortable! What details can I add ? :)
