Best Rooftop Pool Hotels in Sihanoukville
Sihanoukville is a beach town on Cambodia's southern coast, and the four hotels in this selection all have a rooftop swimming pool, which is the reason they sit on this page. RIVA Hotel SHV is a family-friendly hotel a short walk from Independence Beach, with a rooftop pool and a full wellness area, and Legend Hotel and Resort adds sea-view family rooms plus an indoor pool. C-Hotel is a three-star option near Serendipity Beach Pier and Ochheuteal Beach, and Ting Bo Hotel is a simpler stay with sea or city views. Guest ratings run from 7.0 to 8.5, so below I compare the four honestly, by rating, size and what each adds beside the pool.
Where to stay
Rooftop pools ranked by what they add
What sets these Sihanoukville hotels apart is the rooftop pool, but the quality of the stay varies more than the label suggests. Two of the four are rated above 8, with spas, family rooms and strong review counts, while the other two are simpler, lower-rated options. I would choose by rating and review count first, and by the view second.
RIVA Hotel SHV, rated 8.5 from 645 reviews, is the best supported of the four. It offers family rooms with balconies, a rooftop swimming pool and a full wellness area, with a modern family-friendly restaurant serving diverse cuisines, a fitness center and a children's playground. It is a short walk from Independence Beach. For a family that wants a rooftop pool, a playground and a spa under one roof, with the sea a short walk away, this is the address I would look at first in this selection. Its restaurant also suits families who eat out together.
Legend Hotel and Resort, rated 8.1 from 167 reviews, offers family rooms with sea views, a rooftop swimming pool and an indoor pool. Guests can use a fitness center and massage services, and a family-friendly restaurant serves diverse cuisines. The combination of a rooftop pool and an indoor pool is useful if you want swimming regardless of the weather, and the sea-view family rooms are the main reason I would shortlist it for a family who wants the view from the room as well as the roof. Having both pools adds flexibility on a rainy afternoon.
C-Hotel, rated 7.4 from 52 reviews, offers comfortable three-star accommodations with air-conditioning and private balconies. Guests can enjoy a rooftop pool, an indoor pool, a steam room, a sauna and a fitness center, and the property is near Serendipity Beach Pier and Ochheuteal Beach. Its score is lower and based on few reviews, so I would read recent comments before booking. It makes sense for a traveler who values the two pools and the steam room and wants to be near the beach piers, and who accepts a simpler stay.
Ting Bo Hotel Sihanoukville Autonomous Port Branch, rated 7.0 from only 31 reviews, offers comfortable rooms with sea or city views and balconies, a rooftop swimming pool and a fitness center. Guests can enjoy a family-friendly Chinese restaurant and a buffet breakfast, in a convenient location. It is the lowest rated of the four, and I would treat it as a practical choice for a short stay, not as a destination in itself. My advice for the whole selection is to start with RIVA and Legend, and keep the other two as budget-conscious alternatives.
A traveler's takeI would choose RIVA Hotel SHV for a family that wants a rooftop pool, a playground and a wellness area a short walk from Independence Beach, and Legend Hotel and Resort for sea-view family rooms with an indoor pool as well. Sihanoukville is a beach town on Cambodia's southern coast, so the sea is close for all four, and the rooftop pool mainly adds a view and a place to swim at the hotel. My notes rely on facts listed for each hotel, not on a single stay.
Rooftop & ViewsRIVA Hotel SHV
Family rooms, a rooftop pool, and diverse dining near Independence Beach
Why guests love itRIVA Hotel SHV is one of the more family-minded addresses in Sihanoukville. Family rooms come with balconies, children have a playground, and the rooftop pool gives everyone a reason to come back in the afternoon. The modern restaurant serves a range of cuisines, which helps when tastes differ, and parents can use the wellness area and the fitness center. Independence Beach is a short walk away.

Rooftop & ViewsLegend Hotel and Resort
Sea-view family rooms, rooftop pool, and diverse dining
Why guests love itLegend Hotel and Resort gives families a lot under one roof in Sihanoukville: family rooms with sea views, a rooftop pool for sunny days and an indoor pool when the weather turns. A family-friendly restaurant with varied cuisines means fussy eaters have options, and parents can book a massage or use the fitness center. The 8.1 score from 167 reviews is good. I would choose it mainly for its two pools and its family rooms.
Rooftop & ViewsC-Hotel
Rooftop and indoor pools, a steam room, and private balconies
Why guests love itC-Hotel gives families two pools to choose from, a rooftop one and an indoor one, which helps on very hot or rainy days in Sihanoukville. Rooms are air-conditioned and have private balconies, and Ochheuteal Beach and the Serendipity Beach Pier, where the island boats leave, are close by. The wellness side, with a steam room and a fitness center, is more for adults. With a 7.4 guest score, I would treat it as a convenient three-star base rather than a family resort.
Rooftop & ViewsTing Bo Hotel Sihanoukville Autonomous Port Branch 廷泊酒店西哈努克高龙岛码头店
Rooftop pool, sea-view rooms, and family dining in Sihanoukville
Why guests love itTing Bo Hotel's port branch works for families who like meals sorted on site: the buffet breakfast covers mornings and the Chinese restaurant is described as family-friendly. The rooftop pool gives children a swim with a view, and rooms come with sea or city views and balconies. A fitness center is there for parents. With a 7.0 guest score, I would see it as a practical stop near the Autonomous Port rather than a holiday resort, handy before a boat to the islands.
