My stay at Cardamom County was truly an unforgettable experience nestled in nature. The resort is beautifully designed with lush surroundings, and the staff genuinely made us feel welcomed. I absolutely adored our suite, which offered clean and comfortable accommodations. While the dining options were great, I wished for a bit more variety at breakfast. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions, but do keep in mind that you'll likely be walking up and down some stairs to access the rooms.
