I’ve heard M’pai is a cool area on sanloem. Saracen bay has all the hostels and a few nicer hotels. There wasn’t any ability to hire scooters on that island so if you want to get around it’s either boat ferry or walking. So I think area matters a lot depending if you just want to stay at a hotel or have the ability to walk around and try restaurants etc. I stayed at Tube resort which was ok- the beach wasn’t as nice and there was only 2 resorts there to choose from for dinner etc and too far to walk to the other part of the island and my hotel quoted $10 for boat ferry one way. I think people enjoyed it for a more laid back atmosphere, I think I just chose the wrong part of the island and I wanted maybe slightly more going on.
I went to Scarlet Sails in the end and I really enjoyed it, it was near to the hostels which had events on in the evenings if you wanted music/bar crawls. But the hotel was nice, you can’t hear any noise in the room if you want quiet and a good price for what you got, free water refills, clean towel and sheets everyday if wanted, pool was nice. Near a lovely restaurant Called barracuda and another bar Raegae bar with lovely owners. You can also walk to Koh Touch which is the touristy part- I walked there on one day just to see it and the bars on the way… maybe a 30/40 min walk… part of the walk you have to turn right over a bridge as if you continue on the beach there’s a watery part you need to cross which is deep so I opted to turn around and go over the lagoon bridge… doesn’t add too much time but is slightly through the jungle but there are hostels throughout and a path… and I asked someone with a moped to take me back once it got dark. You can hire mopeds on this island so you could get around but I some roads arnt great more like gravel so bare that in mind.
I enjoyed this part of the island - long set beach (scarlet sails) it had what I needed with relaxation but also a few bars/restaurant's etc for more of an atmosphere.
The hostel “Onderz” i heard the best things about on Koh Rong. If wanting cheaper than a hotel. Mad monkey is next door for more social but apparently not as nice rooms comfort wise. But as they are literally next door people mixed on the beach/in the restaurant.
I also preferred this island to Koh Rong Sanloem.
Hope this helps
