Overview

Shinta Mani Shack is an upmarket boutique hotel situated in the popular tourist hub of Siem Reap, northwest Cambodia. This chic, stylish property enjoys a tranquil setting in the town’s French Quarter yet is only a few minutes’ walk from vibrant shops, markets, and restaurants, and 15 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Angkor Wat. Shinta Mani Shack offers excellent service along with 62 well-appointed rooms, a fabulous swimming pool and a restaurant nestled within leafy tropical gardens. A peaceful oasis in a great central location, it will appeal to travellers at the higher end of the budget.

Designed by US architect Bill Bensley, Shinta Mani Shack is built around a verdant central courtyard filled with tropical plants. Guest spaces include the hotel restaurant, Bai Tong, which offers both indoor and alfresco seating, with an all-day menu spanning Khymer and international cuisine. Drinks and light snacks are available throughout the day at the superb pool flanked by loungers, which provides a refreshing welcome, particularly after a busy day’s sightseeing. Additionally, guests are invited to enjoy the restaurant, bar, and spa at the hotel’s smaller sister establishment, Shinta Mani Angkor, located across the street.

Accommodation comprises 62 spacious and contemporary rooms decorated with bespoke modern artwork. All rooms have king or twin beds, and an ensuite bathroom with a rainfall shower. Each room comes with a minibar, hot drink facilities, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi. A number of generously sized suites offer extra living space, with separate sleeping and lounge areas, and their spacious bathrooms have a separate shower and bathtub. Outside each room is a private balcony or terrace overlooking the pool and gardens.

Families are welcome at Shinta Mani Shack. Although the hotel does not provide specific entertainment for children, the top notch service and lovely pool and gardens will appeal to guests of all ages. Interconnecting rooms are available, and extra beds can be provided, subject to arrangement.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
