I loved my stay at Amansara, and pretty much everything about the hotel: beautiful zen design, extremely kind and friendly staff, and most of all really delicious food, possibly the best of any Aman I’ve been to. We tried Cambodian, Indian and international options and everything was top notch - I’d also highly recommend the fresh fruit juices which were god tier. The chef came out to chat with us and was a pleasure to talk to. The only thing which was just good but not great was the iced latte, but it’s probably for the best, as if it were any better I would’ve really struggled with leaving. My complaints are small ones: would be nice to slightly heat the pools (especially the private ones adjoined to the rooms which I think are nicest to enjoy in the evenings), and as with many Amans the property is showing a bit of wear in places and is probably overdue for some touch ups. In particular it would be nice to have easier blinds with better blackout for people who are sensitive to light. My room (20), was nicely tucked away in the far corner of the property, but quite scuffed in places. Our guide was also excellent and a very nice guy, my only feedback would be that it’s ok to let guests enjoy some moments of silence here and there. The commentary was a little bit too non-stop for my personal taste, but I recognise that he was simply trying to do the job to the best of his ability, so it would be unkind for me to moan about it too much. A tip for future guests: I would check the weather forecast if you plan to do a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat - if it’s going to be cloudy, I’m not sure it’s worth the schlep of getting up at the crack of dawn. You can just as well visit later in the day, albeit with slightly more crowds (it’s still far from empty at sunrise).
