Sunset Lounge Guesthouse

Top choice in Sihanoukville


Surrounded by developments at the far-south end of Ochheuteal Beach, this German-run boutique-quality resort has thick mattresses, dreamy shaded balconies, appealing bathrooms and a well-reputed restaurant. Splurge for the bungalows. The location, while a bit far from the ferry terminal, is more practical than Otres Beach as it saves you an uncomfortable and expensive tuk tuk ride.
