The Area: The hotel is located in a very remote area, making it an ideal spot for a complete disconnect. However, reaching the hotel from the city costs around $12-15 USD by car. Tuk-tuks are not available here, so your only options for getting around are bicycles, motorbikes, or a car with a driver provided by the hotel. Sihanoukville is not a typical tourist destination, so prices are much higher compared to Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. There are only two massage centers, which were difficult to locate, and most locals don’t speak English. Restaurants are scarce, and there are no English menus available. The Hotel: The property consists of attractive villas split into two separate areas about 500 meters apart. The pool villas are in the main area, while the garden villas are located outside. In the standard villa area, there’s no mobile network coverage, but the Wi-Fi works fine, albeit slow by European standards. The mattresses are "Thai style." The overall environment is cozy and perfect for meditation. A peaceful, empty beach is just 10 minutes away, and there’s also a stunning temple nearby, one of the most serene I’ve ever visited. Since there are no restaurants in the vicinity, the only dining option is the hotel menu, which offers six basic dishes, primarily rice or vegetables. I’d recommend the manager consider adding noodle or soup options to the menu. The garden villas lack chaise lounge chairs, which makes it less comfortable to relax. I requested one, and they kindly provided it (thank you so much for that!), but I strongly encourage the owner to purchase some for all garden villas. Unfortunately, buying one yourself isn’t an option due to the non-touristic nature of the area. Drinking water is always available. The Beach: The beach is completely empty, which is a plus, but it’s dirty and plagued with sandflies that are relentless in their attacks.

We spent the weekend at Koh Ta Kiev Island Resort, and I can say only good things about this place. It’s very beautiful — surrounded by jungle and turquoise sea, and at night the water and sand were glowing from the plankton. The food in the restaurant was very delicious. There were plenty of activities for children, both in the sea and around the resort, and they absolutely loved it. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

A hidden gem in nature! If you're looking to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with nature, this eco-stay on Koh Ta Kiev is the perfect escape. Nestled on a quiet, undeveloped island off the coast of Cambodia, the experience is raw, real, and refreshingly simple. Accommodation is under canvas tents set just steps from the beach or tucked into the jungle. Falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up to birdsong was pure magic. The tents are basic but comfortable, with mosquito nets and mats provided. The French couple owning the place were warm, welcoming, and always happy to share stories or help organise island activities. Whether it’s snorkelling in front of the beach or hiking through the forest or simply drinking a cold beer on the deck of the restaurant or swinging in a hammock with a book, this place invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Highly recommended for adventurous souls, nature lovers, and anyone seeking an off-grid experience with heart.

The staff is very friendly. Max has a lot of knowledge and is always up for a talk or to give some free advice without pushing to do tours. The food is good and the price is fair considering it's on a remote island. Very relaxing spot! The bar chicken is the attraction of the place :)))

Time slows down on this island. I really enjoyed my stay, it is easy to (re)connect with yourself and nature - walking barefoot every day all day, jumping in the sea or just chilling in the bar area reading or talking with fellow guests. There is yoga every morning - a great start of the day. I stayed in the female dorm, there was enough space, bed was comfy. There is storage for your bags under the beds. There is charger and small reading lamp by every bed. You can see the bioluminescent planktons every night directly from the beach or you can go on a boat tour which is very much fun. The beach is so long (and clean) you can easily find a spot to be just by yourself. Trekking in the jungle is also a nice option, there are trails to other beaches on the island. There are sandflies but I did not find them as bothering.

We stayed in three of the different resorts on this island and in our view Nak’s shack is by far the best! The five simple cabins have a tremendous charm. Each of them are well separated from one another and front directly onto the beach, which is a beautiful stretch of sand, with fantastic sunset views and luminescent plankton in the sea at night. Nak is a great host and went out of his way to look after us and to make everything comfortable for us. His girlfriend cooks delicious food and whilst the beach can have visitors in the day, by three or four in the afternoon and until about 10 or 11 in the morning it’s incredibly quiet and peaceful and gives you the ultimate in desert island pleasure! You can choose to sleep on the double bed inside the cabin or in the one outside on the deck, each have mosquito nets and there is also a hammock with each cabin. We absolutely loved our time here!

Nice clean room and swimming pool, helpful friendly reception. Close to the airport just about 10 to 15 minutes.

Extraordinary place - located between jungle and the sea, most relaxed without Wifi or any activity program you can enjoy nature, very good food and have a good time at the beautiful beach or simply swing in your hammock.

Room was nice, very compact bathroom. The staff were polite
