y relaxing stay
This is a lovely relaxing resort in the village of Kep. They have the sailing club next door which has good food at reasonable prices. Cocktail happy hour 5-7 Monday to Thursday, usd3 per cocktail! My only bad point is the hotel bed which was very hard, but that seems to be the case in quite a lot of places.

Stunning location. Overall disappointing considering the amount of money we paid to stay here for 6 nights. Our room no 7 on ground floor in need of brightening up, updating and a few repairs. Quality of service lacking too given that this is a five star resort...

After reading all of the reviews for the Knai Bang Chatt we were expecting something spectacular, especially given the cost, however we were decidedly underwhelmed.
The location is fantastic, but it’s this feature that I believe the hotel owners trade on. We booked a sea view delux room, unfortunately I would not describe this accommodation as 5* luxury boutique. It is rustic, which is lovely however, what I don’t expect from ‘rustic’ is plug sockets coming out of the wall, light fittings full of dead flies, holes in the walls from the removal of fixtures, patio doors which won’t open/close, dirty and stained toilets and seats, as well as hairs left behind on the toilet brush handles (see photos).
I can not fault the staff they were attentive, friendly and professional, perhaps the management just don’t adequately check the standard of the rooms they are offering. Breakfast was included and was delicious, however I had the Cambodian fried rice each morning and aside from requesting that I have a poached egg rather than fried, the rice ingredients varied every day. This brings me on to my next point, the Strand is very over priced although we had no complaints with the one dinner we ate there. We did however eat in the Sailing Club (next door and owned by the same company), this has a varied menu and is slightly cheaper, but sadly of poor quality and once again inconsistent. One night I had seafood amok which was served in a banana leaf bowl as described

Nice hotel next to the beach. Relaxing atmosphere. Not many food choices but good enough. Internet was intermittent, so kimited access to the outside world, if it is needed. Overall a good break from the daily hustle and bustle.

A* everything let down by internet
Property is real slice of heaven on earth... the only fly in ointment which was a serious fly for us (but may not be fore you) is how intolerably bad the guest wifi situation which for 5* prices is not acceptable. I checked with hotel beforehand to be told very fast connection as had couple important video conferences to schedule... was told very fast connection then GM warned me that Cambodian internet very spotty. We stayed in suite which while fantastically spacious and eclectically decorated had pretty much 0 connection which was annoying as chose so could get lots of work done, over our 3 days tried different parts of property in search of somewhere that had stable connection. Spent whole time trying to connect between their 3 wifi networks then on last day realised that the problem was not with cambdian internet as noticed hat the hotel's office had a 'office' network for employees only. I demanded access and of course found it to be lightening fast (10+x anything ever got anywhere eles in hotel) so spent much of last day sat in the not so comfortable reception. The situation has nothing to do with cambodia... just their internal wifi setup... and theyve basically chosen to prioritise their staff over their guests which at 5* (price) hotel is quite unacceptable. Everything else was flawless from service to, food to setting... but this little detail ruined experience of what should have been amazing. THe good news is imminently fixable...

Great hotel in a fabulous location.
This is a lovely hotel that is trying really hard to be responsible tourism operators. The staff were great and the many little complimentary touches during the day were lovely. The sailing club is a must for any visitor to kep. Picture perfect view too. Loved it.

Perfekt hotell för avkopplande semester
Vi hade en mycket trevlig och avkopplande vistelse på Knai Bang Chatt. Hotellanläggningen är mycket bra. Mycket bra rum, vi hade ett med havsutsikt. Härlig infinity pool. Ingen trängsel bland solstolarna.
Hotellet saknar sandstrand men det såg vi inte som ett problem. Utanför anläggningen finns inte mycket att göra förutom olika utflykter. Vi använde även hotellets spa för massage vilken var bra. Det fanns två restauranger, en inom anläggningen och en precis utanför, båda var bra. Den utanför hade olika temakvällar bl a jazzkväll. Servicen var ibland långsam och inte i nivå med ett förstaklasshotell men det kompenserades av att alla var väldigt vänliga. Hotellets internet var i långsammaste laget.

Seaside oasis!
Came here for a couple days after a busy trip in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. The hotel is a beautiful oasis and a great stop for the end of the tour. So peaceful with many beautiful spots to sit or lounge right by the sea. It was a wonderful place to rest and reflect. Staff are very friendly and the spa is amazing. I went there every day! Highly recommend it!

Lovely hotel by the beach
This is a lovely hotel tucked away by the beach in a scenic location! The hotel staff is very helpful and there is a wonderful buffet breakfast provided that is very appetising and filling! The room is spacious and the bathroom is huge! There was just a slight downside as the table in the hotel room had a few ants running about.

A very tranquil resort.
This is a great place to stay if you want a quiet, peaceful get away with a view of the sea at your doorstep. The grounds are beautiful. The pool is lovely and shaded for about half the day so great temperature. There are lovely lounges (not just banana lounges but real lounges) and day beds around the pool and facing the beach. The staff were attentive and nothing seemed too difficult. They changed the price of my drink the 4th I ordered it. But when I pointed this out, they fixed it immediately and gave it to me at the cheaper price. I suspect they undercharged me the first 3 times but were quite honourable in their response which impressed me. The rooms were rustic but care was taken. They provided beach bags and hats which was a nice touch. I thought the location of the restaurant was great - so close to the water. ANd there was the sailing club right next door which is lovely too. I didn't bother to go anywhere else for my weekend. The meals were good. It was a lovely peaceful weekend away.

Lovely resort
The last installment of our honeymoon I booked the Knai Bang Chatt. The resort is lovely and is most certainly a haven of relaxation with the infinity pool overlooking the garden and sea. Plenty of lovely sun/shade lounging facilities dotted around the resort.
We were lucky enough to have been given room 6 arguably the room with the best view. The room are very nice, tastefully kit out and very comfortable. Missing tea and coffee making facilities in our opinion though.
The strand restaurant is lovely and worthy of a 5 star restaurant, the chef also very friendly and a very good cook. Breakfasts are also divine.
The sailing club is less formal, has a happy hour, fantastic sunsets with the pier in the foreground also make for a very special place. Found all the food also very tasty and staff very friendly.
This does very much have the feeling of an exclusive resort and a special place to stay. One thing that it lacked compared to some other hotels we stayed in for half the price was a warmness of all the staff to make you feel special, perhaps too nervous to make any mistakes or maybe this is what exclusive resorts are like, we just don't stay in many of them.
All in all a very enjoyable stay though.

Perfect paradise
This is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The setting is picture perfect, the sunsets beautiful and the atmosphere serene. The pool is a great place to cool off after the heat of the day. If you are expecting a beach you will be disappointed. The rooms are clean, comfortable and have everything you could possibly need. If they don't the staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and always on hand. The spa facilities deliver the perfect extras to supplement your relaxation at a reasonable (but higher than local average) price. To be honest there is nothing I can fault this place for.... I will be back at the earliest opportunity.
