We stayed four nights in a lovely, clean, spacious seafront cottage with all mod cons. The sea was literally steps away and was warm and clean (we took a trip to the west coast and were shocked by how much rubbish was floating in the sea there in comparison). The view of the coastline (national park and Cambodia opposite) is spectacular and we loved looking at and swimming past the fishermen’s stilt-huts. We also loved eco-friendly touches such as the refillable water bottle in our room and the beautifully-tended gardens.
The hotel had a post-season feel to it and we only shared it with a handful of lovely (Irish, NZ and HK) guests. The pool is large and peaceful and the restaurant absolutely excellent. We found that the a la carte breakfast offerings got a bit repetitive but the evening menu was excellent (the fish claypot and fish tacos were two of the best meals I had during our three-week trip and the Mojito remained in a class of its own!) – and all of it priced extremely reasonably. We also got a great, vigorous massage from a local masseuse who comes to the resort.
Apart from the physical beauty of the place, it is the staff that makes Peppercorn special. Everything worked perfectly, from the excellent email communication before arrival, the airport pick-up to anything we needed during our stay. First among equals was Nhan who spoke excellent English and was a real asset to the hotel and a life-saver when our bags did not arrive for 36 hours. Thank you!
