JATI Koh Russey — Hotel in Koh Russei

Had a beautiful 3 nights and 4 days stay at Jati Koh Russey. The warm friendly staff made our time there even more memorable. Did not want to leave at all!

The location is not too far off, only 10 minutes speed boat ride from the shore. Once we arrived, we were greeted by beautiful smiles of our Jati hosts; Shann and Poly, and they did an amazing job touring us around the resort on the buggy car and providing information. Bong Sokhom was very accommodating during our meals at the Beach Club too. Jati staff are very well spoken in English, open to conversing, and well trained in hospitality. We felt very welcomed and at home.

We had the Beach Pool View room and it was very scenic, facing towards the East for sunrise. Love the set up and decor, the spacious bathroom, and bed was comfortable, very relaxing. We had endless complimentary soft drinks and water, very well hydrated. You can call for a buggy to bring you around or like us, we rode around on the bikes provided for free.

You might be on an island but there are plenty of food to eat and activities to do!

You can ask for the team to help customize an activity schedule or just join whatever whenever you’re available. There were so many firsts for us at Jati including; playing pickleball, doing an ice bath, and paddle boarding. We were able to enjoy all of the facilities and activities provided; snorkeling, kayaking, morning jog, morning yoga, spa day, beach volleyball, cooking class, etc.

As for the food, they were all delicious! I especially enjoyed their homemade prosciutto di parma pizza at the Beach Club. Some other food we enjoyed were; Prawn wonton soup, bitter melon salad, lamb shank rending, barbecued baby cuttlefish, grilled grouper fillet, and fried slipper lobster with garlic. By the end of the trip we have almost ordered all the food on the menu. A romantic dinner by beach can also be arranged for couples and family groups. My husband and I were also able to enjoy a lovely steak dinner set menu at Koko Restaurant.

For dessert, in our opinion, Jati has the best chocolate mousse we’ve ever had! The chocolate was rich and pleasantly bitter and not too sweet. Consistency was smooth and just perfectly melts in the mouth. We enjoyed many more desserts as well like; coconut parfait, deep fried tonka bean ice cream, and ginger&vanilla creme brûlée. Not complaining at all about gaining weight after this trip XD

Overall, if you want a nice relaxing vacation on an island with good food, many activities to do, genuine friendly staff and location not being too far, give Jati Koh Russey a try. I would love to go back...

Within the region there a a handful of hotels/resorts, however in my opinion none of them are comparable to what JATI Koh Russey offers. When you stay at JATI, you will be able to experience a contemporary mix of cultures, bridging Cambodian/Khmer traditions with modernity.||||Upon arriving to the JATI mainland Pavilion you will be greated by the hotel staff and they will offer you a welcome beverage and a cold towel while they check you in. If you check-in before the scheduled speed boat departure timings you would be able have a remain seated at the cool Air-conditioned JATI Pavilion until it is time to do so.||||After a scenic 10 minutes speedy boat ride you would then arrive at the resort's pier, staff would be waiting for you with an umbrella if it is raining and help you board the electric buggy. First you would pass the "Arun" the hotels restaurant where breakfast is served. Then you would be driven pass the open area where the pool, gym/spa and Beach Club is at. Finally you would arrive at your villa/room.||||During my stay, I was situated in a Garden Villa where the room were spacious and had all the amenities you would need during a stay. Anywhere you walk in the resort, if a staff were to be there or walk pass you then you then promptly greet you and ask how everything is and if they could help you with anything.||||Unfortunately during my stay, it was during the monsoon/rainy season, therefore I did not have the opportunity try all the facilities on property. But the Gym, Sauna and steam rooms were well maintained and modern. There was also a ice plunge that caught my eye but as a person that doesn't do well in cool temperatures. I avoided trying it but regrettably would like to do so now after hearing about it from friends who have also stayed at the same time as me. ||||The food was served were all delicious, but my favourites were the Beef Lok Lak, pork belly tempura and the Creme Brulee. The breakfast buffet also serves a variety of Western breakfast items and Cambodian dishes.||||Overall, I would highly recommend anyone to come to JATI for them to experience what I experienced first hand. And I personally plan to return again to the resort to try the rest of the facilities I did not have the chance to do...
