Sleeping
Kep meanders along the shoreline for a good 5km, with the resorts situated at intervals
along its length. The ostensible centre is around the Kep Beach Roundabout and Kep
Beach, but there isn't much happening there. Some of the best options are not on the water
but on the other side of the highway in the hills leading up to Kep National Park. Rooms
at all midrange and top-end places listed include breakfast.

A little way from the action (if Kep can be said to have any action), Botanica offers
exceptional value for money with attractive bungalows boasting contemporary bathrooms.
There is a small swimming pool and guests can use free bicycles to hit the beach.

The highlights here are the tower-
ing stilted bamboo 'treehouse' bungalows with sea views, where each pair shares a bath-
room. Kep's cheapest rooms are the US$5 shacks separated by flimsy partitions. Cool off
at neighbouring Kep Lodge's pool with a purchase of food and drink.

The pool is
small and the rooms are nothing to write home about, but it remains a great place for
meeting fellow travellers and partying on weekends, when it sometimes imports live mu-
sic (and expat crowds) from Phnom Penh.
