Set on a small lake amid greenery, Samathi Lake Resort makes an ideal daytrip or overnight for families in Phnom Penh who want to escape the urban jungle without ever leaving the city limits.

The pool here is ideal for families with little ones as much of it is wadable and suitable for toddlers and beginner swimmers. Even at its "deep" end the water is barely 1.5 meters deep.

Pool towels and kids life jackets can be rented from the reception.
