Amansara

Our entire 4 night stay at Amansara was nothing short of magical. From getting us an hour at Angkor Wat to ourselves at sunrise, to the incredible Angkor Spiritual Package experiences (water blessing, monk led forest meditation etc)- we were blown away each and every day. Highly recommend the spiritual package although we are not religious because it provided so many interesting and intimate cultural experiences we would have otherwise missed out on. I found it fascinating to spend time with a young monk and learn about why there are so many monks in this part of the world (free education and more). We also took a yoga and boxing class and ended up booking each twice as they were so much fun. The day we left we asked to go to Apopo to learn about the giant African rats fighting landmines and the staff arranged for us to go on a tour at the last minute but gently reminded us there would be other guests with us and they would be allowed to ask questions. We found this hilarious but it is definitely culture shock leaving an Aman and going back into the real world where you are no longer treated like a celebrity. Don’t miss the chance to stay at this incredible property if you can.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Amansara. Above all the staff and service were just world class. Everything anticipated, nothing too much trouble, everyone interesting, smiling but discreet. It seems effortless but given that very very few other hotels ever come close to this level of service, you realise how much hard work must go into achieving it. The room was absolutely beautiful and perfectly set up and the spa amazing. I particularly wanted to call out the exceptional level of help with planning all the excursions that the Amansara provides . You are here to see these wonders of the world (and they deliver in spades) but the team help advise what to visit and when and then execute flawlessly. Our guide (for the 3 days) that they arranged was just awesome - knowledgeable, passionate, funny. It was a pleasure spending 3 days with him. If I was being picky I would say that the food was slightly below expectations but I think this reflects more on me than the Amansara. I’m not great with many of the ingredients that feature in Cambodian cuisine so I tended to select the western options which are well represented on the menu. Don’t get me wrong these were well executed by a clearly well drilled kitchen team - they just weren’t special in the way that everything else about the Amansara is. In fairness my wife invariably selected the Cambodian cuisine options and she said it was excellent, so as I said probably more me than the hotel. I’d recommend this place to anyone with an interest in visiting the Khmer temples. It’s a very special place to stay in one of the most astounding places I have ever visited.

We had a wonderful stay at Amansara, made even more memorable with a complimentary upgrade to a pool suite. From thoughtful touches like having my jacket cleaned overnight, to the genuine care shown when my husband felt unwell on the Tonle Sap boat tour — thank you, Phaneth, for your kindness — we truly felt looked after. Our guide, Buntham, was excellent and even captured some of our favourite candid photos at Angkor Wat. At breakfast, Ramorn surprised me with Noum Kong after a casual chat about my love for donuts, complete with stories of how locals enjoy them in the fields — such a special touch. The highlight was the heartfelt birthday surprise for my husband, and we’re also grateful to Guicle and Chanthoeun for their warm hospitality. Thank you, Amansara, for turning little moments into lasting memories.

Amansara was our first Aman visit and it left us in complete awe. From the time they pick you up at airport, the experience is personal, caring and attentive. The staff at Aman is well trained and goes out of their way to make sure the stay is comfortable. It felt like the word NO did not exist here as our every request was catered to and they went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. GM MJ is approachable and always available. I especially want to callout the F&B Head Mr Rakesh and Chef Satkar as they made our dining experiences unforgettable. We were amazed by the variety, flavors and thanks to them, we got great Indian food in Siem Reap. Additionally, the care and attention that everyone in the dining area showed significantly enhanced our stay. We did the Angkor, biking and Floating village tours through the hotel and Yoko was a knowledgeable guide whose experience and passion really came through. The Spa facilities are world class and our son did kickboxing classes in the gym which were well organized and fun. Overall, this was an experience of a lifetime and we can’t wait to visit our next Aman property.

Outstanding service and quality in this hotel. The hotel does an exceptional job of making everyone feel special. They also do a great job in coordinating all the trips and itineraries with the best guides and recommendations you could hope for. Such a great hotel!
