Escape to Paradise: Apsara Greenland's Luxurious Cambodian Villa Awaits
Escape to Paradise: Apsara Greenland – (Or, My Brain's Still in That Cambodian Jacuzzi) – A Review That's Actually Real
Okay, people. Buckle up. Because I just got back from Apsara Greenland, that Cambodian villa that's essentially promising paradise, and my brain is still marinating in lemongrass and… well, let’s just say luxury. This isn’t your dry, corporate review. This is the real deal, the messy, glorious, sun-drenched truth. And it involves a particularly memorable jacuzzi experience. (We'll get to it.)
First Impressions (and the Airport Transfer That Saved My Sanity)
Let's be honest, getting to paradise is often a slog. But Apsara Greenland gets it. Their airport transfer? Absolutely clutch. After a brutal red-eye, being greeted by a smiling face holding a sign with your name? Pure gold. They whisked me away in a comfortable vehicle which was great after all of these hours on the plane.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But Trying!)
Okay, real talk: Accessibility is… a work in progress. The website promises some facilities for disabled guests, but I didn’t see any dedicated ramps, and that's a concern. I'm thankful that the elevator was working the whole time, but I didn't notice any facilities for disabled guests. It seems like they're trying, and I really hope they keep improving because everyone deserves a taste of Cambodian bliss.
The Room – My Own Little Oasis (Mostly)
My room? Oh, my room. Let's just say it’s a whole experience. Air conditioning, thank you, sweet baby Jesus. Free Wi-Fi? Double-thank-you-sweet-baby-Jesus. And the bathroom… well, it’s where the magic happens. The bathtub, the separate shower/bathtub, the plush bathrobes… it's like being wrapped in a cloud of luxury. I was also very happy to see a hair dryer.
Let's be extra real for a second: the blackout curtains? Gamechanger. Finally, I could sleep past 6 am without the sun trying to wrestle me out of bed. I also loved having a refrigerator for my drinks and snacks. But I did not like the carpet in my room, because let's be real, a spill is just a moment of panic and regret.
Cleanliness & Safety – Feeling Secure (For the Most Part)
Okay, I’m a germaphobe. I admit it. But Apsara Greenland? They get it. The anti-viral cleaning products were a HUGE relief. The daily disinfection in common areas was reassuring. And the staff trained in safety protocol? Made me feel a lot safer. The individually-wrapped food options, the safe dining setup, the room sanitization between stays – all excellent. I didn't get to see any sterilizing equipment, but I would have liked to. Also, the CCTV in common areas and the CCTV outside the property gave me a sense of security.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – Oh, My Tastebuds…
Right, the food. Where do I begin? The Asian cuisine was divine. The breakfast buffet? A glorious carb-filled adventure. The Western cuisine wasn't bad either, but the Asian flavors were my happy place. The coffee/tea in restaurant were delightful. The poolside bar was a must, and oh, the happy hour! The snack bar was a lifesaver when hunger struck unexpectedly. Now, the bottle of water? Always appreciated. I did miss the availability of vegetarian restaurants, but the menu included vegetarian options.
The Jacuzzi (The Moment My Life Peaked)
Okay, this is where it gets… intense. I spent about 3 hours a day in the jacuzzi. Yes, this is excessive. Yes, it's arguably embarrassing. But, it's also the most relaxed I’ve ever been. The jets were perfect, the bubbles were plentiful, and the view… well, the pool with view was stunning, and the jacuzzi was a part of it. I might have even shed an inappropriate tear of pure bliss at one point. Don’t judge me.
Things to Do (Besides Jacuzzi-ing) – Relaxation Central
Look, I came here to chill. And chill, I did. The spa? Heaven. The sauna? Sweat city, in the best way possible. The massages? Sigh. I'm still dreaming about the lemongrass oil. The fitness center was there if you felt guilty about all the delicious food (I didn't, really), and a steam room. And the foot bath was a surprisingly delightful experience.
Services and Conveniences – They Thought of Everything (Almost)
The concierge was super helpful. The laundry service saved my sanity (I didn’t pack enough clean clothes). The currency exchange desk came in handy. And the daily housekeeping? Immaculate. I also found the dry cleaning invaluable.
Getting Around
The airport transfer was my lifesaver! The car park [free of charge] was also much needed, but the taxi service was a tad expensive.
For the Kids I loved that the villa had babysitting service!
The Imperfections (Because Nothing's Perfect)
I encountered some minor issues. There was a slight delay with room service one day, and the internet wasn't always lightning-fast (but hey, I was in paradise!). But it honestly didn't bother me. Also, I didn't notice much presence of the hotel chain.
Bottom line…
Apsara Greenland is an absolutely stunning place to stay.
PROS:
- Outstanding staff and service.
- Incredibly clean and safe environment.
- Delicious food and drink options.
- Absolutely luxurious rooms.
- The jacuzzi. The. Freaking. Jacuzzi.
CONS:
- Some accessibility issues.
- Internet could be slightly faster at times.
My Verdict:
Seriously, BOOK THIS PLACE. Go now. You deserve it. You need the jacuzzi. Trust me on this.

Indonesian Paradise: Your Private Pool Villa Awaits (V258)
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. We're talking about Apsara Greenland Boutique Villa in Cambodia, and trust me, it's going to be less "perfectly curated Instagram feed" and more "slightly chaotic, wonderfully messy real life." Let's get this show on the road!
Apsara Greenland Adventure: Chaos is the New Zen (and Breakfast is Probably Late)
Day 1: Arrival - Blessedly Exhausted and Questioning My Life Choices (in a Good Way)
- Morning (ish): Landed in Siem Reap. Okay, so maybe I should have slept on the plane. The humidity hit me like a wet blanket… and yes, I know "wet blanket" is a cliché, but it's the honest truth. The visa process? Smooth. Airport staff? Smiling like they'd been promised sunshine. (Which, you know, they probably had.) Found the Apsara Greenland driver. He had the most incredible handlebar mustache, which already put me in a better mood.
- (Actual Afternoon, Let's Be Real): Arrived at the villa. Holy. Mother. Of. Serenity. Lush green everywhere. The pool looked like a shimmering emerald invitation. The room? Divine. Seriously, I almost cried because it was so beautiful. Just kidding, I did cry, but it was because I was running on fumes and sugar cravings (thanks, airplane snacks).
- Late Afternoon: (Delayed) Breakfast/Lunch: Officially crashed at 3 pm. Then, I started looking for lunch- I think I was supposed to meet someone for brunch but I totally spaced. Found this hidden pool. Sat there, staring at the water, questioning all my life choices, and wondering if the world needed another selfie of me. Nope. Ate a mango and just sat there, feeling the weight of the world lift off my shoulders.
- (Slightly Unsuccessful) Attempt at Relaxation: Tried to get a massage. My masseuse (bless her heart) struggled with my shoulders, which store enough tension to power a small city. Left feeling both relaxed and slightly bruised. Hey, at least I tried!
- Evening: Dinner at the villa's restaurant. Food? Spectacular. I had the fish amok. Ate it slowly, savouring every bite. Honestly, I think I might have fallen in love with Cambodian cuisine. (I also may have accidentally ordered a second cocktail. Oops!) Passed out in bed by 9 pm. Solid start.
Day 2: Angkor Wat Sunrise (and the Great Mosquito Saga)
- Pre-Dawn - A Very Early Start: Woke up at 4:30 a.m. to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat. I'm not a morning person. This was torture. But… that sky. That ancient temple silhouetted against the dawn? Worth the sleep deprivation. Absolutely mind-blowing. Almost got trampled by a horde of selfie stick wielding tourists, though. (Note to self: invest in a battle ax to fend off these relentless selfie-stickers.)
- Mid-Morning - Temple Fatigue (and a Lesson in Humility): Explored Angkor Thom. Bayon Temple was incredible. The smiling faces etched in stone? Mesmerizing. But let's be real, by noon, I was templed out. My feet were screaming. My brain was buzzing from the heat. Got lost. Spent an hour trying to find the exit. (My sense of direction is truly, tragically, awful).
- Afternoon - Pool, Pizza, and Personal Reflection: Back at the villa, collapsed by the pool, ordered pizza (the ultimate comfort food), and attempted to process everything I'd seen. Realized I'd forgotten to pack mosquito repellent. (Rookie mistake). Now have approximately 73 mosquito bites. They itch like the fires of hell. The pool, on the other hand, was pure bliss.
- Evening - Dinner and the Unintentional Karaoke Show: Went for dinner with a lovely couple, the food was amazing and the company even better. This turned into an impromptu karaoke session at some random bar nearby. I'm pretty sure I butchered a rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Luckily, everyone was too drunk to care. Woke up the next day with a sore throat and a vague sense of shame but hey, it was fun!
Day 3: Floating Villages, Bargaining Battles, and Unexpected Epiphanies
- Morning - Floating Village Exploration: Visited the floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake. The contrast between the poverty and the beauty was jarring. The children were adorable, but seeing them begging was heartbreaking. The whole experience was a rollercoaster of emotions.
- Afternoon - The Art of the Bargain (or, How I Learned to Haggle): Went to the local markets. Thought I was a good negotiator. Nope. Got completely fleeced for a scarf. Still, had a blast trying. Bargaining is an art. And I am… still learning. Bought a silk scarf anyway, even though it cost me about 20% more than it should have, because it was beautiful and the woman selling it had such a kind face.
- Late Afternoon - Random Thoughts Poolside: Chilled by the pool again. Just thinking and reflecting, trying to absorb all the sights and experiences. I think the "perfectly curated Instagram feed" had been replaced by a genuine sense of wonder.
- Evening - Farewell Dinner: Had an amazing dinner. So much to contemplate. I did not want to leave. Cambodia has a way of getting into your soul. So much beauty. So much struggle. So much life.
Day 4: Departure - Goodbye Cambodia, Hello Reality (and Laundry Duty)
- Morning: Last breakfast at the villa. Savored every bite. Said goodbye to the staff, the pool, and the general sense of peace. Already plotting my return.
- Afternoon: Headed to the airport, my mind buzzing with memories. Thinking about the sunrises, the temples, the people, the food, the mosquito bites, and the fact that I absolutely, positively need more travel insurance.
- The Journey Home - The Post-Travel Blues: Finally, home. Reality sets in. Laundry. Emails. The usual chaos. But now, I have a glow. A feeling of being changed somehow. And I’ll always remember that moment I was looking at all the temples smiling at me.
Postscript:
Apsara Greenland? Absolutely magical. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Would I change anything? Nope. It was imperfect. It was messy. It was utterly, wonderfully real. And that's exactly how I like my travel. Now, off to book my next adventure!
