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!!!

Dear Freedom63867567724, Thank you so much for sharing your experience on this platform. We're a little surprised by your rating as you gave us four stars and your opening comments were very positive about your Villa and Views. I recall meeting you during your first evening at our restaurant, where you told our General Manager and I about the Pad Thai you had for lunch, which was not what you expected as it contained grilled tofu cubes that were not mentioned in the menu. As I indicated during our conversation, we much appreciated this feedback and immediately adjusted the menus based on your advice. Except for this one meal, we felt everything else went well, as our F&B manager checked in with you and your husband on a regular basis to ensure you were enjoying our offerings. Signing the bill after consumption is a typical procedure in most hotels and resorts to avoid misunderstandings when we present your bill at the end of your stay. This also means that any minor errors, can be corrected at the same time, avoiding delays during the check-out procedure. Regarding the Flip Flops you purchased from our Island Boutique, our Guest Experience team provided you with a price before you agreed to buy them however, they were not aware you intended on receiving them complimentary. As a gesture of good will prior to your arrival, we took the liberty of upgrading your Villa from a Jungle category to an Ocean View category, where you enjoyed expansive views out to sea. There is no direct access to the beach when staying in this category due to a protective sea wall to guard against erosion. As we are an Island, our main beach conditions change regularly based on tidal levels. This change in tide will wash up small rocks to our shoreline. All non-motorized activities, including daily yoga, are free of charge; we are happy to arrange motorized activities or other excursions for you to enjoy however, these are charged due to fuel costs and post-Covid our supply chain has also increased. Regarding the ripped chairs, as we are isolated, we have a maintenance program in place to send our chairs every 1 – 2 months back to our Supplier on the Mainland for recovering and this process is subject to our occupancy. Typically, we are sending 10 chairs per cycle for recovering. It is with regret that you and your husband did not have a perfect stay, however we hope you still have fond memories of your Ocean View Villa with expansive sea views and the service offered by our staff. With best regards, Tommy (Resort Manager)

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!!

We are a German family of four adults and enjoyed this vacation very much so. The cabins were excellent . The staff as well. The variation of food were incredible. The massages could not be better. We can definitely recommend this resort for you. The resort is supporting the neighborly villages on the Islands nearby. For snorkeling you need to be a good swimmer as the current along the island corals is strong. But the staff is very helpful. You can hardly find a better place than this one. But it would be good to speak English fluently.

Dear Berlinopa, Thank you very much for taking the time to express your gratitude. It's great to hear you had a great stay, especially because of our varied cuisine, unique spa experiences and efforts supporting the surrounding communities. The Song Saa Foundation is actively involved in aiding these nearby communities through education, environmental awareness campaigns, and marine life protection projects. A portion of our room revenue is donated directly to the Foundation, and we provide opportunities for our guests to donate by booking specific activities provided by the Foundation Team, such as guided snorkeling trips with one of our Marine Biologists or participating in some of their Coral Reef or Plastic Free workshops. We hope to see you again someday, but in the meanwhile, we wish you all the best. The Song Saa Private Island & Foundation Family

Revisited Song Saa after 8 years away and it is now even more lush. Journey from Phnom Penh now much quicker on the new express way, 2 hours. Stayed in an ocean view villa, which was lovely, very comfy bed, modern bathroom. Dining at Song Saa is an experience, fabulous local food, so fresh. Thank you to Tommy and his wonderful team for looking after us so well.

Dear Angusshields, What a pleasure it was to see you and your wife again after nearly 8 years! Indeed, our gardens and vegetation have become far more lush than before, creating a pleasant, cool, and protected environment. Our Ocean View villas are highly popular with visitors who prefer a little extra outdoor space to relax in. Thank you for your compliments on our local and fresh cuisine; we try to employ local suppliers as much as possible in order to lessen our carbon footprint. We wish you the best of luck and hope to see you both on a regular basis! Tommy and the entire Song Saa Family extend their warmest greetings

Dear Song Saa Team, To the Hanson and Flamez family, We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful stay we had at your tropical paradise. Your hospitality and all the experiences you offered made our trip truly memorable. We felt right at home during our visit and we're sincerely thankful for your assistance. As for activities, we highly recommend trying out the bioluminescent swim, exploring the options at the activity center, and embarking on the jungle walk leading to the waterfall – a personal favorite of ours. We're hopeful about a potential return in the future. If your journeys ever bring you to Belgium in the meantime, please know that you're more than welcome to get in touch. Best regards,

From the moment we stepped onto the Island the team could not do enough for us, preempting our needs and assisting us with ideas and adventures whilst still allowing us our privacy. Highly recommend the cooking class and to have many treatments at the gorgeous spa, cocktails on the Vista deck and snorkelling in the shallows around the pier. The team led by Tommy should be applauded with special shout outs to Cholsa, Manna at the spa, Sopy our hiking guide, Chef Bunseng and Sornleng at the restaurant. Our massive over water Villa had huge wow factor with every detail so well thought out and the rooms comfort levels are up there with the best of the best. So luxe! The property is so clean. I never saw them but there must be a small army of cleaners raking the beach and pathways every few hours as there was no debris or plastic to be found. Thank you all for making our trip spectacular. We can’t wait to go back again to this little Island of joy.

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.

A truly wonderful experience. The location is magnificent, staff warm and engaging and oh so relaxing. Stayed 3 days, could have stayed longer. We had an ocean view villa, which I feel is the sweet spot. Jungle villas looked a little tired and the over water villas looked a little hot and austere. The service was excellent and the food delicious. Dining at different locations on the island added to the experience. Love the deep eco-friendly and socially responsible ethos. We did a tour of the local fishing village to see the work the Song Saa foundation is doing, it was touching. The only downside was possibly the price of some of the extra activities are rather steep. Perfect for honeymooners or those seeking to recharge. A once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend.

Dear Richard K, Thank you very much for posting this lovely review about your experience at our little private paradise. It is a pleasure to read you connected so well with our team and truly appreciated our service and kitchen. Indeed, our exemplary concept of providing different dinning locations for each individual evening is very popular and is one of the highlights for most of our guests. A big thank you as well for spending some time to connect with our Song Saa Foundation team, visiting Preak Svay village to have a closer look into all the projects they are doing together with the Community, marine protection for sustainable fisheries and waste management to name a few of their projects. We understand your remark about the prices for the “extra activities”. Most of these extra activities involve motorized boats which indeed comes at a higher cost than the complimentary non-motorized activities due to the associated operational costs of running the boats needed for these activities. We would like to wish you all the best and hope to see you coming back some time. With warm regards, Tommy Resort Manager

Dreamy quiet island resort with gorgeous attentive staff and admirable ethos.Did feel like our own private island when we were there as always somewhere secluded to relax. and nothing was too much trouble. Hopefully the inevitable new developments on Koh Rong will be hotels with the same ethos as Song Saa as there needs to be a collective fight against rubbish and emphasis on protecting this beautiful archipelago and its people.
