Lovely resort great white beach .

Great luxury resort , loved the sea , sunsets and everything in between . Outside shower was my husbands preferred shower room . Amazing white sand .

Be warned to take a anti sickness tablet for the boat journey , it can be a little rough .The Vila could have had a desk or a table added , the fact that you get only 1 key and have to use it to operated the air conditioning meant that you come to a boiling and extremely uncomfortable heat, for the cost you pay to stay in the the resort , they should allow you to decide if you want to keep the Vila air conditioned on in readiness for you. The resort could also have had free shuttle to the nearest Village, to help the locals benefit from the tourists and to stop the feeling of being completely isolated from everywhere. The cost of a one way tuktuk was double at $15 each way if you book from the hotel . The spa treatments were far too expensive for Cambodia , they could do with including free water sports into the resort. Perhaps some loan board games etc.. Finally Cambodia could do with re education in cleanliness they should stop throwing rubbish everywhere , perhaps this should start at their schools . All you need is to walk out of a resort or a hotel and it is like visiting a rubbish dump .

Beautiful hotel with fantastic staff and scenery

Super friendly and accommodating staff Great breakfast and good food overall Had the best massage/ also very nice Spa Very nice room. The bathroom was amazing / so massive! Also got a private pool which was fantastic Beach is definitely one of the nicest Ive ever been on Hotel Pool is also massive and close to the beach and great with getting drinks / happy hour

The sandflies they killed us. Kind of ruined it a bit. Because after that we didnt step foot onto the beach anymore. We are still suffering so much from the bites. We were also staying on the other side of the island and we didnt get any sandfly bites there that hotel was turning over the sand with a tractor daily which obviously is also annoying to hear while youre at the beach. But honestly rather have that then these bites Maybe there is more you guys can do in order to get ride of them

Amazing, beautiful honeymoon stay

The grounds were nice, private beach was beautiful, rooms were spacious, comfortable and luxurious. Staff was very nice. The outdoor shower was so nice and was such a luxurious touch. The meal facilities were beautiful. Everything was amazing. We also did a couples massage and the spa was so pretty and the massage was great.

I wished there was more lunch and dinner menu options/variety.

A luxurious island stay

We loved our stay at The Royal Sands. Looking at the less than 5 star reviews here on trip advisor I can tell that the resort has put in considerable effort to improve their services. Visiting in late 2023 you will notice that they have taken peoples feedback seriously since 2017. Pros: -The waiting lounge in Sihanoukville was lovely. We were apprehensive about our wait in Sihanoukville because of what we have read online and from comments from Khmer people, but the Royal Sands have a lovely check in lounge with cold complimentary drinks, AC and very comfortable seating. - The boat ride over was fine and on arrival we had a group of staff waving and waiting to greet us all which is always a nice experience. -The check in at the resort was great and very informative. We received details about the resort and some of the ways they have tackled the sandy fly problem which leads to the next point. -The sandfly problem has been dealt with fantastically. Our room had complimentary DEET repellent but we also brought our own tropical grade repellent. The staff use a tractor daily to rake the sand for rubbish and sandfly eggs and the staff spray the resort twice a week. We had absolutely no bites and thus were able to enjoy lying on the beach lounges with no issues. Well done Royal Sands for combating this issue so effectively. -We asked for a complimentary upgrade which they organised. We ended up in a beach front pool villa which was stunning. The room is large, the pool is beautiful and the view of the ocean is magnificent. -Koh Rong has a big issue with rubbish, but we found very minimal rubbish on the resort beach. There is a kiosk with a bin on the beach so do the environment a favour and if you see something pick it up and put it in the trash. -The kiosk has beach towels which makes lounging on the beach easy and enjoyable. - The breakfast and food at the restaurants is lovely. They've addressed a lot of the price and comfort concerns.

Cons -The power would intermittently drop out. It generally will come back on within the hour as they do have back up generators, but it can be frustrating because it also means the WiFi, water pressure and AC drops out. -The rotten wood decking. The resort is slowly replacing the wood with treated wood. However twice my partners foot broke through the deck in the outdoor shower. Make sure you tread very carefully in your outdoor shower because you could seriously injure yourself. The resort staff make you aware of this and to their credit the maintenance staff come out and fix it in no time but for the price you pay for a room, they need to consider alternate flooring for the safety of guests. I would recommend getting rid of the wood altogether in the outdoor showers and replacing it with grass, flat stone pathway/shower floor and plants like many other outdoor tropical bathrooms in resorts do. Then your only maintenance is caring for the plants and grass. It also would make it look very attractive. -The marine waste. We went on a snorkelling trip and while it was nice and our guide Savy was wonderful, you can see how bad the rubbish and marine waste problem is. This isn't the resorts fault but a general issue in SEA countries. The coral beds are strewn with marine waste (nets) and other rubbish. I counted over 30+ fishing boats surrounding the island which I'm sure contributes to this. We may be spoilt coming from Australia and having the most pristine reefs in the world, but the resorts on Koh Rong should consider collaborating with marine conservation/clean up groups to protect their reefs. -Privacy. The outdoor areas for the rooms afford little privacy from other villas and the walkways. I recommend for the resort to put up some bamboo screening so you can at least use the pools or relax on your deck without worrying about people looking at you. -Boat transfer times. Website says 9.30am.

Awesome place to relax!

We stayed one whole week at the Royal Sands and it was simply amazing! After the busy cities of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh this was the perfect place to relax. The Villa was perfectly clean with a lot of space. The breakfast had a huge variety (especially for western guests!). It really looks like a place out of paradise. The ocean is so so clean and they have the best setups for sunsets (including cocktail happy hour :) ) But the best thing was the staff: Everyone was exceptionally friendly and helpful - and always with a smile. We really felt at home there and were sad that we had to leave eventually. Also special shoutout to our guide Savy: We had so much fun going snorkling, fishing and driving with the banana boat! :)

Amazing property, beautiful villas, mesmerizing views and super helpful staff!

Loved absolutely everything about the property! We booked a sea side villa with private pool and this was the best experience we have had till date. It was my wifes birthday and they were able to arrange us a lovely table right on the beach with an amazing meal. The staff was super friendly and made the stay even more enjoyable.

Breakfast could have a few more options. As someone who doesnt eat beef or pork, I felt the available options were too limited.

Idyllic stay

The beach was stunning with perfect white sands and super clear waters. The room was spacious too with two showers. The cabin was on the beach front which was very accessible. The food in the restaurant was delicious too. Fantastic location for sunset

Transfers to and from the hotel were overpriced
