Kampot La Plantation Hotels

"Really lovely stay. Such beautiful & caring staff. Excellent location walkable to all restaurants & cafes in town + waterfront. Good breakfast selection; the proposition is that you choose from an option on the set menu however, you can actually mix and match from any option!? The really wow-factor is the stunning art deco design elements everywhere; it has been so extraordinarily done, it’s absolutely stunning. Reception provided us with a taxi for 60USD for the day to explore the area; Kampot pepper farm, Kep area, salt flats and we also decided to take a few hours out at the Veranda Natural Resort near Kep to have coffee, patisserie and a swim in their beautiful pool just below the restaurant. Best to take a taxi for a day out as it’s far more comfortable than a tuk tuk and some of the roads can be mighty dusty. If we had to highlight an area to improve, we’d recommend draining the plunge pool and giving the tiles a good scrub down. Besides this, it’s still a 200% great experience to stay there!!!"

"Staff was incredible. Very nice and helpful. The walk to the riverside was manageable and the grab app works awesomely! Cheap tuktuk ride to Kep for seafood. Stay here, you’ll like it."

"Staff were very friendly and helpful and made our young one very happy chatting and sharing their time - rooms beautiful and stylish and the pool was clean and refreshing. All around a lovely experience!"

"Beautiful resort, great food, and it’s delightful to be right on the beach. Unfortunately the room isn’t designed well. The bathroom looks beautiful, but using the tub wasn’t possible due to mosquitoes. Further, the door between the toilet and tub is a glass shower door, so the exterior door and its tall threshold is between the toilet and the bed, so anyone who needs the toilet in the middle of the night has to fumble with the key and chain and risk tripping over the threshold. There is also a pendant light hanging low over the outlet for the hairdryer so that even average height people will bump into it while drying their hair. This is not the experience I expect at this price point, and it should have been easy enough to avoid: screen in the outdoor bathroom, install the exterior door and its tall threshold on the exterior, and raise the pendant light. The staff could also use more training. It was repeatedly pointed out that we were only staying one night. Of course it’s good to confirm this once at check in, but beyond that unsolicited comments on travel plans feel awkward. There was also a situation at breakfast where the staff seated us, then inquired about our room number, then pointed out that they had reserved a different table for us. Again, awkward! If tables are reserved for certain rooms, staff should confirm guests’ room numbers before seating them. If a mistake was made, why make that the guests’ problem? Lots of potential; just needs a few improvements."

"Fantastic hotel with large, clean rooms, a good breakfast, and a beautifully illuminated swimming pool. The staff were very helpful, especially the receptionist/manager who seemed to be working there 24 hours a day. 😉 Cons: the gym was poorly equipped. We were also sent to La Plantation pepper factory, which felt like a tourist trap — daylight robbery in white gloves. A terrible place. I recommend choosing other plantations run by local farmers rather than French colonial-style businesses."

"I rise in love with this place! The setting, amenities and facilities was perfectly designed. Quiet and welcoming. It feels like rainbow magic forest. The room is very clean and it has everything you need. Having a kitchen is a big win. The team is very lovely people. The Kep Paradise! I want to come every year just to chill here. That’s how I felt! 100 stars! "

"The photo you show is fake, not only not on the river, they didn't have a room for us for the entire stay, which was only 2 nights. Staff was terrible."

"Bit dated, breakfast edible. TV didn't work, seems like they haven't for some time."

"I enjoyed my stay. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Huge room, very clean, no complaints"
