The essentials in 30 seconds
- Verdict: Choose an infinity-style pool for a view and a leisurely swim, with Zannier Phum Baitang as the example (its Pool Bar describes a 50-metre infinity pool). Choose a lap pool for exercise, with Amansara (25 metres), Shinta Mani Angkor (a 23-metre Bayon Pool) and Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor (35 metres) as stated examples.
- Best for: Swimmers who want a length to count, and leisure guests who want a setting to enjoy.
- Good to know: Hotels state pool sizes in their own words. Verify the length, the opening hours and the access rules on the hotel's page, because they can change.
- Next step: Match your style to the list below, then pick the room type that opens to the pool you chose.
A pool is a major part of a Siem Reap stay, since the afternoons are best spent in the water between temple visits. Two travellers can love the same hotel for different reasons: one watches the garden from a long edge of water, and the other swims lengths before breakfast.
This page compares the pools of the luxury hotels in the directory by design, size and setting, using what the hotels publish. It leaves out any claim about water temperature or crowds, and invites you to confirm details on each hotel's page.
Which pool for which guest
An infinity pool is designed around the view, with an edge that meets the horizon or the garden. A lap pool is designed around length. Free-form and lagoon pools are designed around play and lounging.
Three profiles
- Leisure and view: an infinity pool, a lagoon or a free-form pool in a garden setting.
- Exercise: a lap pool with a stated length, and opening hours that suit an early swim.
- Family fun: a larger pool with a children's pool and a pool bar nearby.
Stated lengths, from longest to shortest
These lengths come from the hotels' own pages or from listings of the hotels, so treat them as stated figures.
Pool lengths
- Zannier Phum Baitang: the Pool Bar overlooks a 50-metre infinity pool, and the pool is surrounded by tropical gardens.
- Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor: the outdoor pool is 35 metres long, and the Poolside Terrace serves light daytime meals and cocktails.
- Amansara: a listing mentions a 25 metre lap pool and a curvilinear pool.
- Shinta Mani Angkor: the Bayon Pool is 23 metres, and the Angkor Pool is flanked by palms and suited for swimming laps.
- Viroth's Hotel: a 20 m long salt water pool.

The rule for choosing
Your pick
- 1If you swim for exercise, shortlist hotels that state a length, then confirm the hours: Amansara, Shinta Mani Angkor, Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor and Zannier Phum Baitang do.
- 2If you want a view and a long, calm soak, choose Zannier Phum Baitang for its garden-framed infinity pool, or a lagoon-style pool such as Borei Angkor Resort & Spa.
- 3If you want both, Shinta Mani Angkor lists two pools: the 23-metre Bayon Pool and the Angkor Pool for laps.
- 4If you want a pool that connects to your room, read pool-access rooms and swim-up or pool-access rooms compared.
Navutu Dreams lists Grand Tour Rooms with lap pool views, and Shinta Mani Angkor lists an Angkor Superior room that faces the Angkor lap pool or tropical vegetation, so you can sleep with the pool in sight.
Booking block
- Select the room type that faces or opens to the pool you want.
- Enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com and compare the total.
- Read the cancellation terms and confirm pool hours with the hotel.
Prices are volatile, as listed in October 2026. Confirm them before you travel.
