Shinta Mani Shack

Shinta Mani offers all the usual trappings of a four-star hotel, but it’s the service that transforms this boutique bolthole into an unforgettable experience. From the moment you’re greeted at the entrance with a scented hand towel and a cheery “Welcome home!”, the staff at Shinta Mani make every effort to accommodate with jubilant friendliness and a knack for remembering names. World-renowned designer Bill Bensley’s penchant for sharply contrasting shades of black and white defines the decor, as seen at the striped-bottom swimming pool with matching parasols. A daily happy hour encourages pool-side cocktails as the sun sets while local Khmer cuisine and international dishes can be found at the two on-site restaurants. Rooms are simple, tasteful and afford great views across the pool’s tropical grounds.
