The essentials in 30 seconds
- Verdict: The pool suits swimmers, families and quiet readers alike: a 50-metre infinity pool among tropical gardens, plus private 20 sqm plunge pools for Pool Villa guests. Opening hours are not published in our sources, so confirm them with the hotel.
- Setting: The pool is surrounded by tropical gardens, and i-escape describes views over the paddy fields.
- Children: Google Maps flags the hotel as good for children, and babysitting is available on request.
- Private option: Each Pool Villa has its own 20 sqm plunge pool, for a swim without sharing the water.
The pool is where a stay at Zannier Phum Baitang slows down. After a morning among the Angkor temples, a long stretch of water set in tropical gardens is exactly what many travellers want. This page covers the main pool, the private plunge pools, the poolside bar and what the resort offers families.
Opening hours are not listed in the sources we hold, so we focus on what the facts do support: size, setting, views, food and drink, and the fit for each type of guest. For the wider picture of the resort, read the spa and pool overview and the spa treatments page.
The main pool at a glance
The resort has an infinity pool, and the Pool Bar describes it as 50 metres. i-escape calls it a vast 50m infinity pool and lists it as heated. A pool of this length gives swimmers room for laps, while the infinity edge opens the view to the garden and the countryside beyond.
The pool is surrounded by tropical gardens, and according to i-escape the views run over the paddy fields. The grounds are described as 8 hectares of tropical garden in one source, and the resort as set in 20 acres on its own site; sources differ on how the grounds are measured, so treat both as a sense of scale rather than a precise figure.
Pool facts
- Infinity pool, described as 50 metres by the Pool Bar.
- Surrounded by tropical gardens.
- Listed as heated by i-escape.
- Overlooked by the Pool Bar, which serves light meals.
- Gym with cardio machines, free weights and benches, for a land-based workout.
Private plunge pools for Pool Villa guests
If you prefer a private swim, the Pool Villas are one-bedroom villas built on stilts, each with a 20 sqm plunge pool, and they measure 72 sqm of interior space. Their gardens have sun loungers and a thatched-roof sala with day beds and a dining table. That makes the villa garden a second pool deck, quiet and entirely your own.
Terrace Villas measure 62 sqm and have a large terrace sofa and a table for alfresco dinners, so they suit travellers who prefer the main pool and a spacious terrace. For a full comparison, see the rooms guide.
Food and drink by the water
The Pool Bar overlooks the 50-metre infinity pool and serves light meals. A guide notes that the pool bar serves drinks all day, though hours can change, so confirm before you travel. Bay Phsar, the casual poolside restaurant surrounded by rice paddies, sits close by; as listed in October 2026 it serves a breakfast buffet included in the room rate plus simple lunches, and it is open every day for lunch. Confirm before you travel.
For the evening, the Sunset Lounge serves cocktails made from home-grown botanicals and syrups. The restaurants and bars page covers every venue.
Swimming with children
Google Maps flags the hotel as good for children, and the experiences page links to a section titled Discover our Children Experiences. Babysitting is available on request, and all villas have a king-size bed with space for 1 to 2 baby cots or rollaway beds. According to one guide, the resort lists a kids' club with arts, water play and cooking activities, and kids' menus are available in the restaurants.
The sources we hold do not describe pool depth, a children's pool or age rules at the water. Ask the reception team at booking, and confirm the family rules on the hotel's official page. As listed in October 2026, a supplement of 100 USD applies for extra children aged 4 to 16, confirm before you travel.
Who the pool suits
- Swimmers who want a long pool to swim lengths in.
- Families who value a gardens-and-paddies setting and babysitting on request.
- Couples who prefer a private plunge pool and a villa sala.
- Quiet readers who want a garden setting with loungers.
Choosing your moment
The sources we hold give no hours or crowd patterns for the pool, so the best advice is practical: ask the front desk what the pool hours are on your dates and whether any maintenance or events are planned. If you need to pair a swim with a temple day, see the Angkor Wat departure guide and plan a rest at the water when you come back.
How the poolside works
The infinity pool is surrounded by tropical gardens, and the Pool Bar overlooks it and serves light meals, so food and drinks come to the water without leaving the pool area. Pool Villa gardens add their own sun loungers and a thatched-roof sala with day beds and a dining table, which gives villa guests a private alternative to the main pool. The sources we hold do not describe towel service, sunbed allocation or house rules for attire and children, so ask the reception team when you check in and confirm the rules on the hotel's official page. A concierge and an around-the-clock reception team are available to answer these questions.
