It looks so calm there. A great way to escape the chaotic world :)
Your videos are the cure of 2020. Keep it up!
Thank you for your kind comment
Agree
And 2021❣️
I want to thank you as You’ve taught me so much about other places and cultures through you videos. The music and the sounds of the wildlife and the visuals are suburb! I feel like I’ve been there and that means a lot to me because I’m disabled and can not travel. So I travel through your stunning videos! This place is gorgeous! The sound of the waves and the beach is so relaxing and so perfect.
Thx for your kind comment. Much appreciated!
@@luxurytravelexpert is it possible to get your email please?
You have no idea how healthy the effect your videos bring to me. Thank You!!
This was a welcomed escapism from all the madness in the world. Thank you. Always a treat seeing your family. Looking forward to next weeks video.
More to come!😉
By this time in a pandemic world, I wait anxiously your peaceful, calm and relaxing videos. You give us hope there are better things, better places in this planet. Thank you very much.
True
Thanks for sharing. I was there in April 2019. Just a few months after the opening. I had the same villa as you did. I liked it a lot. The staff were still on the learning curve. I was a bit devastated the amount of rubbish thrown out from the sea. I really hope we all reduce consumption of plastic otherwise we will be crushed by plastic soon. To conclude, I liked the resort very much on this secluded island.
I am living in Cambodia but I never know that we have Koh Russey. Thank you so much for showing us the luxury place in Cambodia that I never know. Let save money to visit there.
Dear Doctor, your presentations never fail to take me on wonderful and surprising journeys of the mind. I never know where my thoughts may take me as you take us to far-flung corners of the world. This venue is no different and as I watched your presentation I was thinking about an event just off its coast in May, forty five years ago....
Thank you for this journey, and every journey you take me on. They never cease to amaze me. My Saturday mornings are always thought provoking.
Glad to read another great comment from you 👍😉
What can a person possibly say???? Not enough words to describe this fabulous place. Perfection! Couple that with your very wonderful production... everything so well done. Music was perfect. Pacing was exceptional... LTE ... you just keep getting better and better!!
PS: your friends are absolutely lovely.
Once again, thank you for bringing us along....
What a beautiful sunset in such a lovely place..mk me so dreamy...
Your videos are not just tours but a whole experience.
Minute details make great differences.
We always creep on how things are bad around us. But videos like these, keeps the confidence that out there world is still pure n beautiful. Thank you for such beautiful videos.
I have a client who stayed there once. His bag arrived late. The staff from the resort agreed to come all the way from the island to pick up the customer's bag at the airport in the city. Amazing service
There you are again ... children of happiness .... you see the world in luxury! Thanks ... I grew up that way too.
The time on the beach was so lush (minus the trash issue)! I loved the sound of the waves! Lovely place!
I used to go to bamboo island about 20 years ago when it was empty apart from a few soldiers with a few howitzers hidden in the tree line protecting it from the Vietnamese... I used to walk across the island through the jungle to the other side where there was a little fishing village and a few little wooden bungalows you could rent for 5 dollar a night.... It was stunning ... I felt like Robinson Crusoe ... An English guy with his Cambodian girlfriend built 10 bungalows where the hotel stands with a nice round restaurant/bar ... I stayed there for a few years until it started getting a bit too popular then moved on but such wonderful memories....His name was Rupert , had bar Ru in town.... Hi Trent if you read this ( barman)
Paul.
Thank you for sharing those memories, Paul. Interesting insight into the history of that region. Its fascinating (and maybe a little informative) to think back over the changes that occur throughout history. Twenty five years prior to your experiences on Bamboo Island, and about forty miles off its coast, the SS Mayaguez incident unfolded, and the final American action of the Vietnam War concluded It is good that we acknowledge and remember the past, but better that we celebrate the relative peace and prosperity of the present. Thank you again and best wishes, Paul.
@@afletchermansson4418 yes I have seen that documentary about the missing American soldiers ... Tragic event... It was 20 years ago I was there and all was peaceful at that time.. I think the last foreigners killed by Khmer rouge was mid nineties in Kampong trach caves... The local people were poor by our standards but always happy and jovial and eager to meet and talk with foreigners... I went back 2 years ago and the Sihanouk ville region has undergone dramatic change with the Chinese investment ... It's a casino town now with high rises along the coastline and private beaches... I didn't like it there anymore.
Yes it seems like the location had a troubled past and to traditional Asians, there were quite a few signs from some of the exorcism artefacts placed aroubd , which were really disguised as interesting objet' arts at both the mainland and resort.
When I see these wonderful pictures it only increases my longing to go on vacation again one day. 🙌❤️
The villa has stunning interior design & architecture. One of the best. True feng shui.
And something else I’d like to ad after just having a conversation with my dad,,Cambodia is highly picturesque when I’ve visited this country many times with work you actually forget how many photos you’ve taken over the years,Shinta Mani wild is beautiful like all Bill Bensley hotels,Capella Ubud is magical too,,shame I’m not married as they are for families and people who have just got married,,
Beautiful and peaceful.
Calm and tranquil surroundings with the sweet chirping of small birds and their heart rendering whistle has stolen my heart. Still it reverberates. The golden soft sands beach, roaring sounds of waves and it's surroundings is ideal for holidaying. The teakwood floors, furnitures, sleek corridor leading to restaurant and beach is awesome. The pool areas of natural water color is mesmerizing. Your videography excellent.
Its really beautiful peace serene & calm. No words to describe. I m staying in malaysia. I never visited cambodia be4. Its so near yet so far.
At the outset I would like to say bravo for having travelled to Cambodia during the peak of the pandemic. On top of that with your children. Your easy going and fun approach to life is commendable.
A swing by the beach bang in the middle of the waves. To go up in the air with the wind against you and literally and figuratively letting your hair down, how cool can it get.
The trees close to the shore is also a rare sight to behold. So Utopian doc. The architecture of the resort is out and out modern giving one a sense of openness. The tiered swimming pool and the pleasant sound of water trickling down speaks volumes for your filming abilities. I could hear the distinct sound of the cricket singing. Great job. Your kids are so adorable. Wish I could watch your videos 24/7 with not a care in the world.
Truly inspired and the musics is so relaxing ❤
Hello my friend
"well it's Saturday again"
What a first class review you have delivered to the world. It makes the dilemma of isolation so much easier when you are watching your reviews, they are so relaxing.
Keep them coming my friend.
Kind regards
DS

Glad to hear that 👍
Your video is a true reflection of how serene this place is. Really a good place to calm the mind!
I feel relaxed everytime I watched your videos, please upload more videos like this
Great island with relaxing atmosphere in Cambodia. Thanks uploader.
So relaxing
another video from {paradise..} bravo!!!!
Watching this video makes sunbathing in a London park bearable 😁
Enjoy! Sunbathing in a park in my home country is not allowed yet 😉
the Luxury Travel Expert Hopefully soon!!
@@luxurytravelexpert where do you live? It's allowed in the US ;)
Having been spoilt by soooo many beautiful places that you've been to, I can honestly say I wasn't impressed with the building and restaurant and surrounding area... You've turned me into a wishful thinking snob lol
And his approach has been very fair to both viewers and properties covered showcasing good views and actual surrounds without the overlay of gushing travelogues.
to compare with other alila product that I seen before, alila Koh russey is a quite simple and small. but the main strength of the resort is i think is the lush indigenous landcaping and private beachfront/ island for its guest. the architecture is toned down to not overwhelmed the nature as it is.
Every video is a masterpiece! Just when I think the last resort is the epitome of luxury... there is always something more spectacular captured!! 🙌🏽 well done!!
Thank you :-)
8:45 😍 That tune.
Amazing island, Thanks for video
Thanks for watching!
Maravilhoso !!!!!!!!!
Very beautiful surround with nature resort
siempre es un Gran placer ,ver y sentir ,estos videos. Gracias🙏
Pretty nice place! Wonderful weather and seashore. Stunning villa and foods. I love this. The sunset is super. Very cozy in all details. 😍❤️

I appreciate that!
Another beautiful and amazing place! Thank you!
Woooowww...
That's so super cool
Wish i will be there someday...
I love swimming with You! Tanks for your luxury videos! 😘🇲🇽
There is "Travel on a budget" and then there is this...the "No way can I ever afford it" travel!😍 so thank you for sharing! It looks absolutely amazing.
Ok...Just out of curiosity I went to check this place out for pricing and it said it's "permanently closed"!! 😱😱😱
I used to live here. The hotel opened under Alila's flag in November 2018. If you notice, they still using some products, label from Alila Villas Koh Russey. They remain the same. Beautiful.
Beautiful Places, Cant wait to See it. And Thank's for VDO
This place just made it to my bucket list! Call me a heretic, but would rather go here than anywhere in the Maldives, so much more to see and do as well as cultural experiences 😀
It's permanently closed.
You know one thing my friend just be thakful to God who gives you this wonderful life.I realy feel happy to you and I wish some day that i could have such a lovely trip.I enjoy very much watching your videos while listening to soft music I became so calm and peace.thank you very much .enjoy as much as you can .love you.
nice Resort again in South East Asia 🌴👍🏻😍
Thank you very much for your sharing amazing footage, wonderful time and paradise place Koh Russey Island to the world about Kingdom of wonder Cambodia.
Your video reminded me of happier times. It is amazing how much the world has changed within the past 3 months. I live about 5 miles from Glasgow airport and when I sit out on my patio during the summer months I can normally see a good number of jet trails every hour. I have literally not seen one for the past several weeks. I suppose it's good for the environment however. Not sure how many reports you have left before you run out, but keep them coming.
I still have material for another 4 months 😉
@@luxurytravelexpert Wow, is it possible to indicate the period you visited because these past years of watching , it was assumed the videos are recent visits.
Is this property currently available to visit? I couldn´t find it and some webs are telling me that this property is closed. This video is from latest visit during May 2020?
Amazing videos!! Keep sharing the beautiful resorts!
I miss Cambodia. Such a beautiful country and I'll be adding Koh Russey to my list of places to stay at
I'm always in an ave from your perfectly crafted videos
Much love and I wish you lots and lots of health!
I dont see this property on the alila website, has it left alila? also google shows its permanently closed already.
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Entering Month 4 of my enforced stay at Chez Falconsue here in the San Fran Bay Area. I am growing tired of the unimaginative cuisine this place serves and the bed mattress is getting so saggy it hurts my back. Hmmm...it's Saturday night. Time for the Dr. LTE show! Such a pleasant diversion from "the new normal". Excellent drone shots and footage of the grounds. So comforting to see you walking barefoot in the sand and ordering eggs bene. The villa was lovely, too. Really enjoying your visit to Cambodia :)
Wow , it's on my bucket list. Thanks
Great! But acc. to their website, they seem permanently closed due to the pandemic
Alila/Hyatt pulled out from this resort, they open back as Villa Koh Russey
I am looking forward to your visiting korea 🙏😃
Even though he visited Singapore MBS recently and are actually wowed by many in the rest of the world and so am I by the rooftop infinity pool, many moral Singaporeans are very much against the casinos operating on it, which has caused numerous deaths to individuals and broken up many grieving families, not to mention the toxic pollution of other nefarious activities, for which Singapore under the current group of leaders are paying a very high price for it.
Orkun for VDO sharing of great view of Koh Ruseey🙏🇰🇭
These are few very good places to live.
Beautiful! In China, Hainan, Sanya Yalong Bay, there are five stars resorts too and it's beautiful. I recommend Sheraton Sanya Yalong Bay, Ritz Carlton, St Regis, take a look, thanks.
Please, the world will leave your recommendation to your own communists cadres and officials to enjoy.
Why must you cone here to spoil our beautiful discussion just like the hordes of PRC who went out to the world to disturb and destroy other countries and culture just like casino and vice ridden Sihanouville. I am scolding you here on behalf of all our glorious Chinese ancestors.
Very beautiful video,great relaxing music.We should respect and keep our planet clean because it will punish us at a point. Furthermore the pool was also very amazing and even the wide range or food is supper lunch or dinner was also very amazing additionally it is great overally as the hotel is located in a very serene environment and also features its own beach which is not observed by other hotels in the region such as six senses and others too so verily great hotel relaxing music and amazing video waiting for the next Saturday
Can you please tell us where you booked this because I looked everywhere and could not find it
It has been closed since my visit 🤔
Oh thanks
I've just tried to find this hotel on their website but there's nothing on there for Cambodia 😔
It's been a long time one of your video made me dream ....
I love Cambodia
Nice Resort
Beautiful 💓
I so look forward to your videos. This resort looks lovely, but I would be able to eat there if they use wooden plates in the restaurant. A restaurant wouldn't be allowed to do that here.
thank u very much... your videos are very inspiring.. very subtle... good to see ur family... very loving.. thanks again
Thanks you
Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing.. It’s beautiful. One day my family and I will go there 👍🏻 🥂🍻🍹🧉
super
Thanks for sharing this beautiful please
Is this resort now permanently closed? Couldn't find it on Google Maps.
It's a private island. Alilla is the only resort on bamboo island. You can actually look for it on agoda
I’m not overly fond of modern architecture. But given the setting, it’ll have to do 👌🏼
I guess that is something along the lines they intended Koh Kham to be before building stopped.
Love 💓
Has the Aman vibes.
The way it was shot, especially by drone at the beginning was really nice. Observed how you hid yourself in mirror in front of basin!! Sihanoukville airport had plans for runway expansion by mid 2020. Please inform if any such runway work was seen on this airport.
I cannot remember seeing any works there 🤔
@@luxurytravelexpert Thanks, maybe it's delayed or shelved. What I knew was runway length was to be extended so that wide body planes can also land enabling more direct international connections.

Out of curiosity would like to know how are you able to make international tours when almost all countries are under some or other type of lockdown?
Que lindo lugar. Hay tanto por conocer. Que increíble tener la oportunidad de viajar. Saludos 🙋🏻♀️
I used to go there in 2013 for diving around there while it has nothing & is like a virgin island with a few residents live there. Now it's gone...
Now here's a resort fashioned by someone who knew how to balance the designs and the colors.
This is a real winner.
Thanks for sharing:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Yes at first it seemed bland but sitting and watching throughout the 40 over minutes show the care that went into the design and maintenance.
Fantastic Forever ☆
Amazing... great ♡
and no covid in sight. lovely
The private island resort looks beautiful. Unfortunately it appears to be permanently closed now - not even for the end of 2020 (I can't see it available to book via the Alila website or Hyatt's website). Did the hotel staff mention to you if it would be closing for an extended period of time for COVID-19 lockdown?
Nope, it was business as usual when I visited
❤❤❤🌷
Please upload videos on Switzerland and Spain and many European countries.... can't wait to watch......
