- hotelrmySydney, Australia122 contributionsClean beach with lovely sunsetI can’t comment on what Otres Beach used to be like as this was our first visit. We spent a lovely afternoon swimming in the clean beach and watching the sunset. Lots of beach food vendors wandering up and down with things like summer rolls etc. Also vendors selling bbq food, pancakes etc. There are sadly construction going on behind and lots stopped as a result of covid hitting. But the beach itself was nice and the toilet and changing facilities clean.Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 28 December 2022
- happy cockapooPhnom Penh, Cambodia19 contributionsNo relaxing beach experience for expatsIt is ok during early morning and daytime. The beach is too noisy with crazy loud music and fireworks. All hotels along the road seem to be hosting Karaoke lovers. No relaxing time for family trip.Visited January 2023Travelled with familyWritten 7 January 2023
- Ly HongPhnom Penh, Cambodia1 contributionFamily TripI visited here on 24 - 25 Jan 2023, it has changed a lot since my last visit back in 2019. There were no more kois, on the beach and it serves the public. You may enjoy family activities here (BBQ, Sunbathing, Swimming, Jogging or Relaxed). You may bring your staff here if you preferred or you may rent from local vendors. Food is limited but there were a few options that you can order from local vendors at the beach. There were a few landmarks created (#សិលាបដ្ដបណ្ដាសា #ដើមឈើស្នេហ៍ #សិលាចាំស្នេហ៍)។ I look forward to the next BBQ and relaxed by the beach trip soon.Visited January 2023Travelled with familyWritten 31 January 2023

Before it was one of the best place in the world!)
But it's still beautiful place, very good vibes, clean and beautiful sea
Can recommend swim near Brown cafe and White boutique hotel
Clean and save place))
I prefer Otres 2 and 3
Long time ago, it was very peaceful place
Maybe now there are more constructions and not many people, but I'm sure you can find your favourite place in Otres beach
Cheers🥳

Calm beach, enjoyable. Not very densely frequented.With some rubbish, which is a shame. And already being targeted for tourist speculation.

I stayed in Otres Beach in 2016. It was a quiet, sleepy, laid back area, Boomerang Bar, $1 Mekong Whiskey! I had heard that things had changed but holy crap I totally did not recognise the place. It's awful. OMG the place has no soul. I just can't see how the ordinary resident benefits from this total demolition of the local way of life.
This was a sad return journey.

Beach is very nice, still some garbage, but also people regular cleaning. It's not like two or three years ago on the photos, no bars or restaurants directly on the beach. Since Chinese investors bought it some years ago, all of it was removed, to build a proper road and huge hotels. Also, there are many construction sites that seems abandoned and unfinished. Many Google maps restaurants/bars/Tour agencies are not open anymore, some have moved and some new expensive stuff. Not ideal for backpacking anymore, better spend the nights on the islands.

I enjoyed my brunch on the beach and swim in the water. There was abit of trash like everywhere in Cambodia but water was clean enough. Abit of construction going on unfortunately so get here quick before it's changed for the worse. Sok Sabay Resort is the place to stay if here!

Hi .. I was wondering If the Tuks Tuks are available to and from Otres to serendipity beach at late hours and how safe is it ? Thanks in advance

I used the app called PassApp to book tuk tuks but never at night so I'm sorry, I can't help you there. I will say that as a woman traveling alone, I never felt unsafe but it would probably be safer to use an app like PassApp if you're planning to take tuk tuks at night, just so there's some type of digital trail. Good luck!

Hi, i would to know about sihanoukville. I’m sheira, 23yo. I have a plan to celebrate my birthday that will be held on 2nd march 2019 in sihanoukville. But i have no idea where’s the best spot for us to have fun there. Anyone can help me to choose?

Well, Otres is a fair choice if you must go to Sihanoukville! Consider that the place is not really a top destination! I found it derty, with not so much going on! I stayed there 2 days! I was heading to the near island called Koh Rong Samloem. The islands in front are maybe better: koh rong and koh rong samloem are very close and ferries get you there daily. This last is a less party place but beaches are nicer and cleaner! If I were you I would rather go to Thai (phi phi island), or Vietnam (Phu Quok)!

We're a couple in our 60s looking at staying for 2/3 nights in either Sihanoukville or Kep in early November. The reviews of Otres Beach are incredibly polarised .... should we look elsewhere? We'll be thoroughly jetlagged after our flights from UK/Bangkok/Phnom Penh so only want to chill out ... eat, drink, sleep. Any advice folks ?? Happy travelling .... David

David, I live in Otres Village. Yes there are changes happening but it’s not all doom and gloom. People come to Otres for the beaches and the islands. They are still there and beautiful as ever. You can sit on the beach or laze around looking at a gorgeous ocean and forget all your troubles. I recommend Otres 2 for you as Otres 1 is party area. And remember you are visiting a developing country. If you can’t take the good with the bad, don’t visit.
Enjoy your stay you will love the sunsets..

I understand you can get a Tuk Tuk at the cruise port to Otres beach, was wondering if they will come back for you if you agreed a time or are there plenty to get back to the port ?

Plenty of Tuk Tuks at Otres, any hotel or bar will order one for you, there are also travel agencies there.
Don’t worry about it.
I recommend downloading PassApp.

There are plenty of motorised tuk tuks around that are very cheap and will take you to Otres. Ride is about 10 minutes.
