Location

Rambutan Resort Phnom Penh is in the heart of the BKK1 business district, where most embassies are found. It’s designed so cleverly that it’s laid out like a resort, offering an escape from the busyness of the local area. As a base, the Rambutan Resort Phnom Penh is in the best location. The gayborhood is a 10-minute drive to the north. The city’s most visited sites, like the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, are within walking distance, and it’s only a casual 30-minute stroll (5 minutes on a motorcycle) to the Riverwalk Night Market, right next to the Mekong River.

Style & Design

Style & Design Rambutan Resort Phnom Penh is Asian-styled, leaning heavily on its Khmer roots. Locally crafted furniture is present throughout. There’s vibrant Asian art on the walls, and modular terrazzo surfaces are everywhere. The stone bathtubs are the room highlights. The outdoor area is a lush tropical garden; the pool, restaurant, and spa are all located there.

Facilities

The saltwater pool and bar in the middle of the resort are the property's shining stars. The area features a waterfall and caves, and guests immediately feel like they’ve been transported far away into a private oasis. The three chefs at the Rambutan Restaurant were trained by renowned local chef Mengly Mork, whose signature style is present throughout the menu. Gay travelers looking for some pampering must visit the spa on the top floor. Apart from the spectacular views, the services include Japanese shiatsu, aromatherapy oil, Swedish, and the local Khmer massage.

Rooms

Rambutan Resort Phnom Penh keeps its room choices straightforward — there are only four types. The decor is Khmer style with lots of earth tones. Every room is eco-friendly and uses green energy wherever possible. The standard rooms on the first floor overlook the garden. The garden deluxe rooms have a private patio and outdoor bathtub. The deluxe pool view rooms have a bathtub on the balcony overlooking the pool area. Our tip is to upgrade to the rooftop penthouse suite; it has a private outdoor sundeck with a jacuzzi big enough for six people.
