Sorry, Joe... I missed replying earlier.
Cool... Thanks. I'm thinking the best bet would be to get the hotel to organise a taxi... That way you have some certainty of service standards and not some unpredictable random.Originally Posted by paulo15
Yes... hundreds of other tourist standard restaurants in Cambodia don't have an issue with cleanliness.Originally Posted by RonanTheBarbarian
I agree... it was completely unnecessary to put down the local cuisine and badmouth every other restaurant and hotel serving this to tourists. Something like "our customers prefer Western food" (or one of the other standard customer service objection-handling lines) would've been fine.Originally Posted by RonanTheBarbarian
No... I don't think anyone else commenting on this thread does either.Originally Posted by Cheers
I'm sure it is... no one else is going to have the exact specs as your pool.Originally Posted by Cheers
I didn't say your pool was terrible. I just said it didn't seem like there was anything to "wow" about to the OP. Proportionate response.
I didn't dispute that your food is good. No reason to suspect wouldn't be. I just commented that it seems more expensive than other good places I've eaten and stayed at in PP and SR.Originally Posted by Cheers
So you're claiming "many places in Cambodia & Thailand" serve "copies" and not original brand drinks. Are you telling us this practice is wide spread in Cambodia AND Thailand and that all tourists should be wary of this in BOTH countries?
That's a bold claim to make. I've never knowingly been served "copies" in Cambodia or Thailand and don't think there's any reason to worry about this in reputable joints. The cocktails I had in Cambodia were fantastic.
I commented that it's disappointing to see a hotel not serving Cambodian food and you come back putting down the cuisine of the country you've chosen to open a business in?Originally Posted by Cheers
Are you telling all tourists they should NOT eat any of the local cuisine anywhere? You're also implying that anywhere Cambodian food is prepared, the kitchens are dirty and the staff are untrained. That's a terrible statement to make.
I ate Cambodian food 80% of the time I was in Cambodia, found it delicious and had no adverse health issues. Of the several close friends and family I know who traveled to Cambodia, none of them had any stomach problems either. In fact, I tell everyone the local cuisine is fantastic and definitely one of the reasons to travel to Cambodia.
You may be proud of your business and the standards you claim to uphold but coming out and...
1. Putting down the local cuisine and warning tourists from the food that every other hotel I've seen in Cambodia serves,
2. Claiming that drinking establishments in Thailand/Cambodia aren't trustworthy, and
3. Asserting every restaurant kitchen in Cambodia is dirty and staffed by untrained team members
... in what could be an attempt to draw customers to your establishment by scaring tourists from everywhere else is sleazy and bad form as a business owner.
You might want to re-read your comments.
As I said, I hope you and other hotels in Sihanoukville succeed and wish you all the best but making inaccurate comments about Cambodia's (and Thailand's!) bar standards, cuisine and restaurant kitchen standards isn't a good move.
Maybe he's on holidays somewhere in SE Asia, so has lots of time to post?

My brother has lived in Snooky for a couple of years, but my one visit wouldn't encourage me to return. But I could live in PP.

I have requested you not attack places where you have not been and say that you "hearrd". It also is unfair for you to demand answers from the same poster who last logged on on Jan25th and you posted your accusatory commentys on Feb 25th I believe it was. Your accusation of him not replying to your questions when you have not even been there are outrageous in that he has not even logged on to defend himself Now, please only post to places you have beenj
Phnom Penh was fun to visit stay for a week and I could live there short-term if there was a reason to do so but I wouldn't choose to live there for months or years... to small and undeveloped and lacking in good amenities.Originally Posted by joe552
