Sitting to the far end of Otres beach, Pappa Pippo doubles up as as a guesthouse and restaurant/bar. As a stalwart on the Otres strip, it gets busy in the evenings, building a reputation as the top pizza spot, serving it until 2:30 a.m. Whether it’s day or night, this place offers a chilled-out atmosphere right on the beach, so it’s great for sunset cocktails.

Another Otres stalwart, Mushroom Point embodies the personality of Otres back in the day.

As a relatively recent addition to Otres, Greenhouse Effect represents the new wave of additions to the beach. More flashpacker than backpacker, this beachside venture has a hip vibe, with chic loungers dotting the private section of beach, gentle house music dancing through the air and a menu of food and drinks served throughout the day and night. This is a hangout for the cook crew.

Set right on the beach front at the start of Otres Beach, if you’re coming from Sihanoukville town, Chez Paou is probably one of the largest shacks on the beach.

Usually where the late night party is to be found, Wish You Were Here is a lively bar that serves food and plenty of Western comforts, as well as a guesthouse.
