This is a lovely, peaceful place, close to the sea and close to the jungle. The pool seemed a little murky but otherwise the whole experience is delightful. The room was clean, the service was friendly, and the amenities very nice.

Quite nice
Nice Staff and friendly. Room has old fashioned but awesome style! AC didn't smell good. Hose in the shower was too short - had to hold it during showering. Staff&owners gave me super good tips,bike for free. This is a super nice spot to relax and have time for rest. Sandwich was 5$, too much for my taste. But I think the French cuisine is quite good. Welcome drink included - awesome. Breakfast was a little too small for me.

Friendly lodge accommodation in pleasant setting
Karine and Christophe run a delightful lodge on the very edge of Kep National Park with access to kilometres of jungle hiking. Free shopper type bikes are available for guest use and were great for exploring the overgrown remains of the old French colonial sector of the town. Staff were very helpful and were able to coordinate tuk-tuk tours of the local caves, salt flats and pepper farms; and travel with Mosa - an excellent English speaking guide.

Rude owners and management
From the moment we said hello to the owner at reception, it was clear that she did not want our family to stay at the hotel. She barely greeted us, told us that we had booked the wrong date, wrong number of people and still needed to pay. I showed her the paid booking from Expedia with the correct information, but she refused to look at it. I suggested calling Expedia to sort this out, but she refused and told me that we should stay somewhere else. Finally, her husband looked at the printed booking and gave us our room. But, they never apologized or spoke to us during our visit. Their manner was so rude that we could not enjoy our stay in Kep

Brilliant time at Tara!
This is our second stay at Tara. We returned because our first stay was excellent. Love the location. Love the quiet. Love the lodge and the owners! Helpful. Friendly. Living in Phnom Penh, Tara is a great place to come to for rest and solitude. And, it's still close to things! We WILL be back.
