Tim, Soneang, and all of the staff at The Rose Apple exceeded our expectations. It starts with detailed and personal emails addressing all of our OCD questions about tours, appropriate dress, customs, recommendations, etc. prior to he trip and it finishes with gracious and attentive follow-thru on every detail. simply, every detail was tended to, before we could even think to ask.
Highlights: You are greeted with a tropical ade, cool washcloth and a personal sit down greeting briefing from either Tim or his right hand Soneang, whose constant broad smile literally extends from ear to ear. Each morning and afternoon, the staff checked in on how our day went, and reviewing details for the next days' adventure.
Recommendations: 1) the fish market and River village on stilts and local dinner tour. If you want to experience the true local culture. then do not miss this. It is a private look into the family and village life of rural Cambodia that can not be duplicated elsewhere. 2) the salt water pool. refreshing, well appreciated after the heat of a day, spotlessly maintained. I travel a lot, and rarely use the pool. We used this daily, as did the other guests.
Tim treats his staff as family, and all respond with devotion to the client. I strongly recommend making use of his guides, tuk-tuk drivers, etc.
