After a long, cold and wet journey we arrived at the Sinouk Coffee Resort. I was badly in need of the smell and taste of freshly ground coffee. In the restaurant I savored the first cup, and then a second, while admiring the immaculate lawns all around.
Luckily, we were the only guests that afternoon and were given the option of choosing our accommodation. I chose the chalet in the corner. It was very private and the views, with the stream running on both sides, were stunning. It was difficult to believe that the scenery in front of us was man-made.
Our room was cozy and very tastefully furnished, reflecting the owner’s long years in France. Outside the roar of the torrent and the cold pelting rain made us appreciate the warmth of the furnishings. We explored the dining and lounging areas and admired their chic elegance.
The weather eased and I sat out on the verandah marveling at the scenery and wished I didn’t have a job to go back to.
That night we chose to have dinner in the private dining area instead of going to the restaurant. We chose well and the food was delicious and plentiful.
The only minus point was that the bathroom was cramped, but that could have been because I prefer large toilets.
This is definitely a retreat for romance, relaxation and freshly ground coffee.
