Ren Resort in Sihanoukville

This trip was basically a reconnoissance run to see what had become of Otres2 beach. Before 2020, this was an excellent destination for a beach vacation. In late 2019, the government widened and paved the beach road (now four-lane highway) and reclaimed beachfront and restaurants from the hotels. The restaurant is now effectively closed, serving a mediocre breakfast to guests. Not sure what happens after that. It used to be our go-to for dinner, and that expectation was the main reason for staying there this time. Desk is sporadically manned by very pleasant and helpful staff with limited English. Public areas are clean and well maintained with a few poolside lounge chairs. Beachfront room was pleasant, some problems with water and hot water were promptly attended to. Aircon good. View was basically the road with beach in background. Shower floor was dangerously slippery. No particular reason for a tourist to stay there now that it is no longer a beachfront resort.

Small resort at the end of Marina Road. The rooms are furnished like a double room. Unfortunately there is no real restaurant, you sit on the street with a car and a view of the lake. The breakfast also leaves a lot to be desired. The staff is very nice and friendly trying to help. Unfortunately the hotel has a small problem with cockroaches. If you can make it through an evening without her, that's good.

Good boutique hotel in Otres area, the iconic pool along other guests' rooms may not be as welcoming n attractive to other guests esp when those rooms are open. Though, people can still enjoy the sea just right in front of the hotel. A la carte Breakfast is a bit disappointing, not very appetizing, could be more improved on this.
