This resort is all by itself
at the north end of Koh Rong Samloem's Saracen Bay. It has a pleasant hang-out area and
is so little known that you might have the entire place to yourself. The set-up includes an
attractive freshwater pool carved into the natural rocks here. Diving trips are available
around the island, as they operate their own boats.
