The beaches are beautiful. But the nest beach club is partying daily to about 4 to 5 am in the middle of other bungalow parks. It is run by Engels. You need earplugs. Randomly the locals burn their stuff in little fire places in the near forrest and the smoke spreads out over the entire beach leaving carbon particles in the air you breath. The prices are too high for what you get.

Generally the island is nice, so as the surroundings. However everything is so overpriced there. I felt trapped in a tourist trap. The prices are more or less 50-60% more than the mainland, especially transport it’s 2,5$/ pax! one way almost where ever you go but for example I had to pay this to get to Cocconut beach so just 6km with at any city would be 1,25$ per tuktuk. Motobike is 15$ per day when usually yo can get it for 6$ elsewhere. Bottle of water -1$- duble the price. So just be ready to spent a lot and you can enjoy your holiday at beautiful place with Koh Rong certainly is. It’s good for diving as I heard, I paid to much for everything else, so I couldn’t try the price for 3 dives is pretty much fair 90$.

It’s more than average but not great. It’s a lovely island, spoilt by US. Rubbish on beach, in sea, dirty toilets. It could be so much more. The people are lovely, the kids lovely. The beach furniture is years old and decrepit. I know it’s Cambodia…. But if they want to attract nice people then they need to up their game. It’s a teen paradise, they can’t see a future and if they keep going the way they are… there don’t be one

Our travel documents from our travel organization stated that you must take sufficient money with you to the island, because you can't pay by card here. That information is outdated. There are several places on the island where you can get money at an Eftpos. We were on Longset Beach, where there is a small supermarket where you can withdraw money. There are a few more places listed on Google.

I stayed in Koh Rong to relax and to go to Nestival. I stayed in Koh Touch for 2 nights and Longset Beach for the other. Koh Rong was a "must visit" destination from other people I had met travelling however I thought it was over hyped. Longset beach is beautiful, but there is also rubbish everywhere, roads are bad and accommodation standards aren't great. I went to Nestival also and thought that it was very over hyped, I was really disappointed. I've been to a lot of Thai islands which I've immensely enjoyed. Overall, it wasn't my cup of tea but could be for other people!
