Tropical Garden House

To my surprise the winding path to our room opened into a maze of lotus ponds and bamboo. Dad practiced tai chi, mom chatted with the gardener, and I felt light as a leaf. At night we followed lanterns to the lounge for sticky rice treats before bed.

Our planned four nights quietly expanded to ten because each day revealed a new charm. Rainy afternoons meant reading by the big window watching drops race down banana leaves. Sunny mornings offered free bicycles to wander sleepy lanes. The chef even revealed his chilli lime dressing after I raved about lunch. And guess what my salads at home now whisper of Siem Reap flavour

In my honest opinion, this retreat was the absolute highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, there was a calming energy that made us feel instantly at ease. The lush garden became our favorite spot—we spent hours just lounging in the shade, sipping on refreshing drinks, and letting time slow down. It was the perfect escape from our busy lives.

Catching up with old friends in such a relaxed setting was unforgettable. We laughed into the night, snapped goofy pics surrounded by greenery, and soaked in the cozy vibes that made every moment feel special. Feels like we’ve just started a new favorite tradition.

Catching up with old friends in such a laid-back environment was truly unforgettable. We spent the evening laughing until midnight, sharing inside jokes, and reminiscing about the good old times. The vibe of the place, with its cozy and welcoming atmosphere, made everything feel extra special.

Just saying, I landed in Siem Reap lugging a suitcase of stress. Two days later these folks had replaced tight shoulders with loose giggles. Mornings began with distant temple drums and rice porridge. Afternoons we lounged by the lily pond writing postcards, a hobby I forgot existed. Their backstreet tips led us to artists painting with coffee grounds. By checkout I felt taller, like worry weighed less.
