Thirteen years earlier, I went to Siem Gain as a solo tourist, pedaling through Angkor’s ancient ruins on a creaky push bike, sweating under the Cambodian sun and just half-understanding the unbelievable history before me. Returning now with my family, I experienced all of it in an entirely new way– one that was comfy, curated, and remarkably child-friendly.

Developed to make you seem like you’re walking through Angkor Wat, it’s a contemporary take on an ancient classic, with a great big swimming pool, beautiful flowers hanging from the walls, and spacious suites that are ideal for families. With 39 suites set around a yard pool and just 15 minutes from Angkor Wat, it has a terrific place and a shop feel.

A Personal Trip of Angkor Wat– Family Style< img loading ="lazy"data-id="53124"src ="https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/anantara-angkor-review-3-560x839.jpg"alt="" class="wp-image-53124"width ="560 "style="margin:10 px automobile; max-width:560 px; max-width:100%" > Our private trip of Angkor Wat was a world away from that long-ago bike ride. We checked out the temples at our own pace with an air-conditioned van (a parent’s dream in the Cambodian heat )and an amazing guide who balanced deep historic understanding with a warm, kid-friendly approach. He was likewise our personal professional photographer for the day, and we had a driver too who welcomed us after
every exploration with cold towels and
chilled water( constantly in a glass bottle– you will not discover plastic at Anantara Angkor).
We followed our own schedule, consisting of a go back to the resort for nap time– because traveling with a toddler suggests flexibility is everything. Throughout the day, the locals were so kind and interested by our youngster, many asking to take images with him.( Those photos are some of my favorite memories, though I have actually kept them private as they consist of other kids.) Dining by Design Among the highlights of our stay was Anantara’s Dining by Design– a private, seven-course meal paired with a five-dance performance developed just for us.
The evening included Cambodia’s iconic apsara dance, performed with dignity under the stars. It was intimate, cultural, and unforgettable– the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experience Anantara does so well.
The meal includes a red wine pairing with each course (or a mocktail in our case), and regardless of being a rather long affair, my young child was so entranced with the dancing, and it is whole meal while viewing the program. Most importantly, it
‘s a private show simply for you, so if you have to get up to use the bathroom, you’re not going to miss anything! The Day spa: Where Time Decreases< img loading= "lazy "data-id="53135"src ="https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/anantara-angkor-review-9-2-560x746.jpg"alt= ""class ="wp-image-53135"width="560 "design="margin:10 px automobile; max-width:560 px; max-width:100%

The spa itself is beautifully serene, and every visitor takes pleasure in private access to the steam bath, sauna, jacuzzi, and cold plunge– included in every stay. It’s the perfect reset after temple-hopping or long travel days.

Large and magnificently created, it featured: A jetted tub and outside shower A personal in-room massage area A personal plunge swimming pool and large deck simply for us A dining table and sitting room– ideal for relaxing once our kid was asleep It even had two restrooms and 2 refrigerators– one for white wine and one for other beverages, in addition to a coffee shop. We had our own butler as well, who left a little bowl of koi fish for our boy! We could buy from the comprehensive in-room dining menu, letting us unwind totally without leaving our sanctuary.

However what actually made our stay stick out was the personnel. They seemed to anticipate our every requirement before we even voiced it– from having water and cool towels prepared after trips to inconspicuously packing up our breakfast when our toddler lost patience.
