Koh Apikjun Resort, Cambodia’s Overwater Escape

What the reviews show

Koh Apikjun Resort by EHM is receiving unusually strong public feedback: 4.8 from 398 Google reviews. The recurring picture is of a peaceful stay in Koh Sdach, Cambodia, centred on the water, attentive service and food that guests remember after leaving.

The accommodation appears to be a major draw. Reviews describe overwater villas with generous living rooms, sea-facing balconies and comfortable daybeds. One guest highlighted a private pool overlooking the water, calling the setting exceptionally tranquil. Another review says the resort moved guests from a condo into a private villa after arrival, though that experience also underlines the importance of confirming the reserved room before travelling.

Food is part of the stay

Several reviews give the restaurant unusually high praise. The overwater dining room, including a glass floor with views of fish below, is repeatedly singled out as a distinctive experience. Guests mention fresh local fish, including a catch described as spearfished that day, along with well-received pizzas.

Breakfast is described as a substantial spread with fresh fruit, eggs prepared to order, Khmer dishes and pastries. One review specifically credits Chef Van and the kitchen team for the quality of the meals. The restaurant’s relaxed atmosphere also features in the feedback, making it sound suited to slow lunches and unhurried dinners rather than quick stopovers.

Service and arrival

The public reviews consistently describe the team as friendly and helpful. One family group says staff made a birthday celebration feel special. Another guest praised the welcome from Phil after arriving by speedboat. That boat transfer appears to be part of the resort experience, although the supplied reviews do not provide practical details about departure points, schedules or transfer arrangements.

Guests also repeatedly mention the views. The resort is presented as a place for switching off, with balconies directly above the sea and rooms designed around the surrounding water. A group travelling with friends and a small child reported that everyone enjoyed the stay, suggesting the property is not limited to couples, even though the private villas and quiet setting will appeal strongly to romantic travellers.

Planning notes

The supplied reviews do not establish a price level, a best season or a full list of facilities. They do show that room availability can be an issue: one guest said the preferred rooms were already full despite pre-booking and was accommodated in a different room before moving to a villa. Travellers should confirm the exact accommodation category and ask about speedboat logistics before arrival.

For a short escape, two nights would allow time to settle into an overwater villa, eat at the glass-floor restaurant and enjoy the views without rushing. The strongest case for Koh Apikjun Resort is simple: it combines memorable water-level accommodation, praised cooking and genuinely calm surroundings in one compact stay.
