If you’re in Cambodia and you’re looking for a perfect place away from the city where you can reflect, relax, and reconnect with nature and your inner self, this is the perfect place to stay.

Tatai Riverfront Resort has 4 spacious cabins all made from natural materials which gives the place a very native feel. Its unique native ambiance actually made the resort stand out from the rest because it really gave us the feeling of being away from the city life.

We arrived at the resort at nighttime and we were welcomed by such a lovely and romantic view of the well-lit resort that stood out even from afar. The moon was also generous enough to make an appearance during that night.

We were personally welcomed by Ms. Jill, the owner, manager, tour guide, etc.. of TRF. I don’t how she managed to do it all at the same time but she made sure to check on all the guests personally whenever she could..

Best part of the night? D-I-N-N-E-R! Had a taste of authentic Khmer food all made from local ingredients and I found myself dreaming of it every day until now!

With an astonishing view of the moon reflecting on the river and with a full tummy, I just wanted to savor the night and not sleep. But who can resist these lovely beds? 

My bro’s bed and my bed 🙂 look at those elephant-shaped towels!

You can tell that we had a mosquito-free sleep! Haha. What we loved most about the rooms is that it has a net-like material (See those green ones in the picture below. I don’t know how they call them though) in place of the walls and the door which enables the air to flow freely. It also gave us a wonderful view of the river from the inside.

Each cabin also has a balcony that has a direct access to the river so you can just dive in and enjoy its cool waters. They also have kayaks available if you want to explore the river without getting wet.

Yup! That’s me right there!

Yummy breakfast! I can eat omelette all day!

Apart from kayaking and swimming in the river, you can also try other outdoor activities like volleyball. The resort’s white sands suddenly took us to the beach! Yup, it’s man-made but you can barely tell cause the beach vibe was so natural!

That’s my brother in black shorts. Team Philippines-Cambodia vs. Team Ireland-Poland! Guess who won? Lol!

During our second day at the resort, the lovely owners took us to the waterfalls along with two other guests. The boatride was enjoyable and the view was splendid!

My favorite part was the lunch where we had unlimited seafood and barbecue! Yes! Unlimited it is! It’s like going on a picnic while dining on a 5-star hotel. The food was superb!

With the two other guests (Stan & Bill).. and with the wonderful owners of the resort. The super awesome Chef Chet and the ever gorgeous and friendly Ms. Jill. ♥

I don’t know if the sun that sets here is different than the one in the Philippines. (HAHAHA) But really, the sunset here was extra special.. it was breathtaking and loveleeeeh that I couldn’t stop taking photos of it.

It’s probably the reflection of the sun in the river that adds the magic!

Aside from the beautiful sunset, what made me really happy was that I got to have some me-time in the balcony! Perfect place to meditate and connect with God. Whew! Serenity at its finest!

God message during my morning devotion 🙂

The best part of the trip was meeting the lovely owners of the resort (Ate Jill,Kuya Chet, and Diyosa Aria). They truly gave us an amazing experience & excellent service because of the personal touch and genuine care added to it. This was indeed the highlight of our family’s trip.

I would say that you would miss a unique Cambodian experience if you don’t get to visit this paradise! ♡

I thank the Lord for this memorable trip! God bless your travels!
