All sorts of help welcome

Hello! We are building a hostel in Otres. We have since been inspired to start our own hostel. We worked with two amazing Mexican architects/builders and to create a special place for travellers to meet in the heart of Otres Village (just a 5 minute walk from the beach!!).

During your free time you can soak up the magical and unique vibe of the Village or head down to the glorious beach to get some sunshine. There are plenty of delicious restaurants to try with delicious food from all over the world. The night life in Otres is always a good time - there are loads of different bars with trivia, live music or parties on throughout the week which we can direct you to! If you're the active type there are plenty of activities nearby like horse riding, kite surfing, sailing, snorkelling and scuba diving. You can also do day trips to the Kbal Chhay Waterfalls, Ream National Park, Koki Beach, Sihanoukville, or one of the beautiful islands!

What else ...
As mentioned above, there is plenty to experience in and around Otres Village. You can walk around the Village and down to the beach or catch a $2 tuk tuk.
