Koh Russey Resort

During our stay at the Koh Russey Resort in mid-January, we experienced a perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and pristine nature. Staying for four nights in a beachside villa, the experience exceeded our expectations in nearly every aspect. Room Experience: Our beachfront bungalow with a private pool was a dream. The villa was spacious, spotless, and filled with natural light, thanks to large windows on both sides. The layout, including a massive bathroom and an inner garden, provided a serene yet luxurious atmosphere. Fitness Facilities: Although I did not use the gym, I observed that it offered two separate spaces—one for cardio and equipment and another for yoga or aerobics. Both areas looked modern and inviting, with plenty of natural light from large windows. Dining Options: The dining experience was exceptional. The resort alternated between two restaurants, both offering high-quality dishes with meticulous attention to detail. Service was impeccable—staff refreshed silverware immediately and served drinks with precision. Individual requests were also prioritized. For example, even when outdoor tables were fully occupied, the team set up an additional one to accommodate us. The service during meals and the efficient housekeeping (cleaning during breakfast, turndown service at dinner) stood out as highlights. Service Quality: The personal attention from the staff was exceptional. Despite the resort’s large size, the staff made every guest feel recognized and valued. They engaged in conversations and catered to individual preferences, creating a warm and personalized experience. Quiet and Atmosphere: The resort was a peaceful paradise. Situated on its own island with only one other distant resort, it offered a secluded, natural escape. Endless stretches of fine sandy beach, lush vegetation, and breathtaking ocean views created a setting straight out of a dream. Location and Accessibility: The island location enhanced the adventure. The transfer via a private speedboat from the resort’s mainland jetty was part of the charm. While there are few activities outside the resort, guests can explore scenic walking paths and lookout points on the island. The resort also offers excursions, including boat trips, visits to nearby islands, and tours on the mainland. However, we found the prices for these excursions quite high and decided against them. General Facilities: The spa was a highlight, providing professional treatments in beautifully designed spaces. We also enjoyed the resort’s centerpiece—a stunning infinity pool overlooking the beach and sea, perfectly integrated into the landscape near the main restaurant. Opportunities for Improvement: There was little to criticize. While the high prices for food and excursions might deter some, we felt they aligned with the resort’s luxury status and location. Knowing this beforehand helped us fully appreciate the experience. Bottom Line: Koh Russey Resort is a luxury retreat offering unparallel

This resort as well as our stay was next level. The surroundings are just gorgeous but the people are the heartbeat of this resort. Don't miss fishing on one of their traditional long tail boats, snorkeling with their knowledgeable staff or enjoying the many other water activities. You can definitely unwind here, and our family made memories we will never forget!
