The resort has 11 overwater bungalows, which all face west for prime sunset gazing. In addition, each bungalo has its own private deck and a soaking tub. This is not an all-inclusive resort, and the hotel&#8217;s only restaurant is on the pricey side, so you may consider stocking up at the store for some small snacks and meals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22420\" src=\"https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"4 rivers floating lodge\" width=\"716\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge-410x307.jpg 410w, https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge-205x154.jpg 205w, https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge-700x524.jpg 700w, https:\/\/enchantedhoneymoons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/4-rivers-floating-lodge.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">4 Rivers Floating Lodge, Cambodia<\/h3>\n<p>For a truly unique experience, head to this remote eco-luxe lodge in Cambodia.
