Saracen Bay Resort

Beautiful location, staff were amazing! Food was good!

Wonderful beach, out of the night bars area but at walking distance. Clean relaxing happy and kind staff. All you need to relax and enjoy the beach.

opStunning. The best location on Saracen Bay in my opinion without a doubt. Spacious, wide beach area with plenty of sunbeds and grass thatch umbrellas tucked away at the much quieter and more picturesque end of the beach. Complete serenity and peace and quiet here, it's impossible not to unwind and relax instantly from the moment you arrive. The beach is beautiful- wide and clean as opposed to further down where it tends to be narrower and the other resorts in the middle of the beach I felt were packed quite closely right next to each other. We booked a sea front villa for 6 nights, paid a bit extra but so worth it for that paradise view when you slide open those doors every morning. It's breathtaking to watch the sun rise at 6am from just outside your villa. The hotel staff messaged me before our arrival to confirm which Ferry we were arriving on and to ensure someone was at the pier to collect us from the Ferry and to transfer our luggage to the hotel. ( It is then only a short 150 metre walk from RUMI Pier to the hotel.) The villa was very large and spacious, excellent air-con and good wifi in the villa, on the beach and in the restaurant. Shower pressure was a little weak but it does the job and so didn't bother us. A Safe and fridge are also provided in each villa which was spotlessly clean and housekeeping came in each day to do our room ( you have to request this at Reception) The Staff were all wonderful, so friendly and welcoming, and arranged a private boat trip for us to do snorkelling, fishing and then a visit to M'Pai Bay to watch the sunset. We left at 2pm returning at 7pm. Cost $60. There are a couple of Mini Marts further down the beach if you want to stock up on anything for the fridge, drinks, snacks etc. ( the closest one is right next door to Big Easy Hostel half way down the beach) Lazy Beach is a 30-40 minute hike from the hotel across the island to watch sunset, i wore flip flops but some of the route is inclined over very gravelly, rocky tracks with very sharp stones and rocks so sturdier walking sandals or trainers would have been more suitable as my flip flops felt the pain a bit! We opted not to book breakfast at the hotel as we like the flexibility to stroll early morning and try different places along the beach and there are plenty of choices of restaurants within a short 5 -10 minute walk that offer breakfast menus. We loved everything about our stay here, it really was faultless. If you are searching for complete tranquility and total peace and quiet, look no further, this is the place to be. Absolute picture- perfect paradise!!

We hadn’t booked breakfast at our hotel… and what a fantastic surprise to stumble upon Saracen Bay Resort’s restaurant, just a hundred meters away! Open to everyone, with a breathtaking view, it turned out to be the perfect breakfast spot. And the breakfast? An absolute feast! For just $14 to $16 for two, we enjoyed a delicious English breakfast, complete with fresh juice, a fruit platter, and more. It was so good that we ended up going back every single morning (how could we resist?). A huge thank you to Senghong and Srey Dav, whose warmth and kindness made the experience even better. And the cherry on top? The place is spotless, beautifully maintained, and with only two or three other couples around, we felt like VIP guests. Thank you for making our stay truly unforgettable. If you’re in Saracen Bay, don’t miss this hidden gem!
