To the point Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort is an excellent choice near Angkor, and you can book it using Marriott Bonvoy points.

During our family trip around the world, we decided to spend a week in Siem Reap, Cambodia. During this stay, we decided to test the two accessible hotels with the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program:

And having tried both hotels, we had a clear preference for the Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort, so much so that we came back there after 1 night at Le Méridien!

This gave us the opportunity to test two types of rooms:

  • Presidential Suite
  • Courtyard Suite

Booking at Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort Hotel

In order to benefit from the 5-night stay at the price of 4 using Marriott Bonvoy points, we have therefore booked our first 5 nights with points.

In addition, we benefited from the category 2 low-season rate: 10,000 points per night (instead of about $155 CDN).

For example, our 5-night stay cost us only 40,000 points!

To earn these points, a single purchase of the Marriott BonvoyTM American ExpressMD Card is all it takes! After spending $1,500 in 3 months, you’ll get a great welcome bonus detailed below.

And if you already have this card , you could get the version for self-employed workers, professionals or small businesses: the Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Card!

Location of Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort Hotel

The Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort is located about 20 minutes by taxi from the international airport and less than 10 minutes east of Siem Reap town centre.

Around the hotel

To go anywhere from the Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort, you must use a Tuk Tuk or taxi. In the evening, you can take the hotel’s free shuttle bus to downtown Siem Reap.

The advantage of this location: to get to the temples which are North of the city, your Tuk Tuk will take the Apsara road, much less busy than the Charles De Gaulle avenue.

Angkor Wat is thus only fifteen minutes away from the hotel.

Check-in at Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort Hotel

As usual, Jean-Maximilien negotiated an upgrade in a suite through Marriott Bonvoy’s mobile application 48 hours before our arrival.

Little did we know that we would be updraged to the hotel’s Presidential Suite! This is the largest room available.

Upon our arrival, the hotel tols us that we are the first Titanium members from Canada to come to the hotel since it opened.

As a welcome gift, the hotel also offered us breakfast. Even though we’re Titanium members, breakfasts are never included in Courtyard hotels.

By the way, here is the hotel lobby, which is very different from the Courtyard Hotel lobbies we know in North America!

Our Presidential Suite at Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort Hotel

The hotel concierge took us to our suite.

The upstairs corridor is wide, but rather dark. The suite is at the end of the corridor.

The lounge in the Presidential suite

When the door opened, the children were stunned. And so were we. The living room in the Presidential suite is simply gigantic!

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—

There are two sofas, as well as a dining room – with a closed kitchen!

At the entrance, a bathroom, which is practical for children at night!

The bedroom in the Presidential suite

Let’s move on to the bedroom in the Presidential suite. Also a very nice area, including a sofa.

Every evening, room service took great care to prepare the room and bring bottles of water and small chocolates on the pillows. Remember, this is a Courtyard Hotel. Not a St. Regis!

The bathroom in the Presidential suite

My favourite room: the bathroom! Made up of a beautiful bathtub, a separate shower and toilet.

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—

This bathroom is separated from the bedroom AND the huge dressing room by two sliding doors.

The dressing room of the Presidential suite

There is a large dressing room close to the bathroom and the bedroom.

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—

You’d think this would be the gym locker room. But no, this is really the dressing room of the Presidential suite! 😀

The terrace of the Presidential suite

Let’s finish this tour of the Presidential suite on the terrace. Or should I say, the soccer field?

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—

An incredible area. But unfortunately, it was not furnished enough: we didn’t really enjoy it, and the children prefered the swimming pool!

Our Courtyard Suite at Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort

On our second stay, we were upgraded to a Courtyard Suite. Typically the one available for Platinum and Titanium members.

The living room in the Courtyard Suite

The living room in the Courtyard Suite is a nice size.

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—

A large desk with mini bar is present.

The Courtyard Suite Bedroom

Let’s see the Courtyard Suite bedroom.

Like the Presidential suite above, this one is connected to the bathroom.

The bathroom in the Courtyard Suite

This bathroom has nothing to envy the one in the Presidential suite.

It also includes a bathtub and a separate shower.

Services of Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort Hotel

Breakfast

Breakfast consists of a very large international buffet.

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—
courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—-

With, of course, a predominance of Asian dishes. I love it!

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—-

Here are, for the pleasure of the eyes, all the dishes available:

The pool

There are two large pools, connected to each other. One is more for swimming, while the other is for the youngest guests.

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—-

We had a lot of fun there, especially with a temperature of 35 degrees and not many people!

The roof terrace

On the roof of the hotel, there is a beautiful terrace. We went there a couple of times at the end of the day for a drink and a bite to eat.

Very pleasant at sunset.

The gym

Above the reception is the well-equipped gym!

Again, we didn’t meet many people when we went there!

The playroom / Kids Club

We had chosen this hotel because of its Kids Club, which is practical when travelling with young children.

courtyard by marriott siem reap resort—-

Although the facilities are very good, unfortunately, during our stay, it was difficult to have staff available to look after the children.

Our general impression of the Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort Hotel

The Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort, only a category 2 in the Marriott Bonvoy program, impressed us with the quality of its facilities. Check out the following section to find out how you can stay there for free with Marriott Bonvoy points!

The concierge went out of his way to find us a private French-speaking guide who took us on a tour of the Angkor temples, or a nanny so that we could enjoy an evening out as a couple in the city!

In short, we highly recommend it if you are passing through Siem Reap. As you will soon see in another review, the Méridien, of a higher category, is not worth it in our eyes.

Indirectly, by transfer of points

These cards each offer a nice welcome bonus. You can transfer Membership Rewards Points to Marriott Bonvoy at the rate of 1:1.2. That means that by transferring 50,000 Membership Rewards points, you will earn 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points!

Our favorite card here is the American Express CobaltMD Card: you can earn up to 5 points per dollar (that’s 6 Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar) on everyday purchases how groceries, restaurants or convenience stores.
