Siem Reap's pool day passes cluster around three international-standard resorts, not the temples. Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort, Park Hyatt Siem Reap, and Angkor Palace Resort & Spa all sell day access to travelers who aren't staying overnight, a useful option after a hot morning at Angkor Wat.
Prices run from $10 to $20 depending on the property, and every pass bundles the pool with something extra: a drink, a food and beverage credit, or steam room and gym access. None of these route through ResortPass or DayPass, the usual third-party platforms, since neither operates in Siem Reap yet.
Book by phone or email a day or two ahead, especially in the November to February high season when Angkor Wat crowds fill hotel pools with overnight guests first. A smaller tier of guesthouses and boutique hotels around town also let non-guests swim for a $5 to $11 minimum spend, but pricing on those isn't confirmed on the properties' own websites, so they aren't listed here.
- Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort — $15 adult / $10 child, plus a complimentary drink
- Park Hyatt Siem Reap — pool, steam room and gym included with a $20 F&B credit
- Angkor Palace Resort & Spa — $15 per person, plus a $10 food and beverage voucher

How much does a pool day pass in Siem Reap cost?
A pool day in Siem Reap costs $15 to $20 per person at the three international resorts that publish day-pass terms. Each pass includes something beyond the pool itself, so the flat rate is closer to the effective cost once you factor in the drink or F&B credit.
| Hotel | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort | $15 adult / $10 child | Biggest pool, spa and sauna access |
| Angkor Palace Resort & Spa | $15 per person | $10 food and beverage voucher included |
| Park Hyatt Siem Reap | Complimentary with $20 F&B credit | Downtown location, steam room and gym |
Can non-guests use hotel pools in Siem Reap?
Yes, at all three resorts listed here. Siem Reap's pool day-pass market is small compared to Bangkok or Bali, and it runs almost entirely on direct phone or email bookings rather than a bookable online platform.
Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra and Angkor Palace Resort & Spa both confirm pricing on their own websites, while Park Hyatt Siem Reap requires a direct reservation to lock in the F&B credit terms. A second tier of independent guesthouses around town, including Baby Elephant Boutique Hotel and Nary Villa, also let non-guests swim for a $5 to $11 minimum spend, but call ahead since none of them publish day-pass pricing online.
Do I need to book a Siem Reap pool day pass in advance?
Booking isn't strictly required, but calling or emailing a day ahead is worth it. Angkor Wat's high season runs November to February, and hotel pools fill with overnight guests first during those months.
Park Hyatt Siem Reap recommends a reservation to avoid disappointment, since day-pass slots compete with in-house guest capacity. Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra and Angkor Palace Resort & Spa accept walk-ins more readily outside peak months, but confirming the rate by phone before you arrive avoids a wasted trip if the pool is fully booked.
Where to stay in Siem Reap
The Old French Quarter is the best base for most first-time visitors: colonial shophouses and galleries, walking distance to Pub Street's restaurants, and a short tuk-tuk ride from the Angkor Wat road. Shinta Mani Angkor sits right in this pocket, with Bill Bensley-designed interiors and pool villas that suit travelers who want design as much as convenience.
If you'd rather wake up to the river than the street noise, the riverside strip is quieter but still central, and Belmond La Résidence d'Angkor is a short stroll from the monuments and geared toward couples wanting a calmer stay.
For a longer temple-touring trip where the resort itself is part of the plan, the Angkor Wat road cluster gives you the shortest transfers to the park along with the biggest pools and spas. Phum Baitang leans into that with rice-field grounds built like a traditional Cambodian village.
Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort
Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra sits on a golf and spa estate a short drive from central Siem Reap, away from the guesthouse strip around Pub Street. The resort markets its pool as the best in the city, a long freeform lagoon set against manicured grounds and the golf course beyond.
Day Pass ($15 adult, $10 child, taxes included). Covers pool access plus a complimentary drink per person, alongside the resort's French and Khmer-inspired spa and wellness facilities.
Book through the hotel's own online checkout or by phone. The property recommends confirming hours in advance, since the day-pass terms are managed through the resort's e-commerce page rather than a walk-in desk.

Park Hyatt Siem Reap sits in the heart of downtown, close enough to walk to Pub Street and the Angkor National Museum. The hotel runs two pools of different design across the property, both built around the same French colonial-era architecture as the rest of the building.
Day Pass Experience. Complimentary use of the swimming pools, steam room, and fitness centre, paired with a US$20 food and beverage credit redeemable once at The Pool, The Glasshouse, or The Living Room. Le Labo bath amenities are provided at the pool.
A prior reservation is recommended, since day-pass slots share space with in-house guests and aren't guaranteed on arrival.

Angkor Palace Resort & Spa
Angkor Palace Resort & Spa sits on landscaped grounds a few minutes from the Angkor Wat road, built in a style that nods to Khmer temple architecture across its lobby and pool terraces. The pool area is set apart from the main hotel block, giving day visitors a quieter corner of the property.
Day Tripper ($15 per person). Includes pool access for the day plus a $10 food and beverage voucher usable at the resort's restaurants, which covers most of a light lunch by the water.
Contact the resort directly to confirm current terms, since pricing wasn't listed for phone or hours on the day-pass page at the time of research.

Frequently asked questions
Does Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor offer a pool day pass?
No confirmed day-pass product exists on the hotel's own site. Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor has a well-known 35-meter pool set among century-old grounds, but its spa and pool access are currently reserved for overnight guests, with pricing for outside visitors not published anywhere on raffles.com.
Are children allowed on Siem Reap pool day passes?
Yes, at all three resorts. Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra publishes a reduced child rate on top of the adult price, while Park Hyatt Siem Reap and Angkor Palace Resort & Spa don't list a separate child rate, so confirm ages and any surcharge by phone before you go.
What should I bring to a Siem Reap pool day?
Sun protection matters more here than at most beach destinations, since the pools sit inland with little sea breeze and full sun exposure through the middle of the day. Bring a printed or screenshotted booking confirmation if you reserved by phone or email, cash in US dollars for any extras beyond the F&B credit, and a change of clothes if you're heading back out to the temples afterward.
More pool day passes near Siem Reap
Cambodia's day-pass market starts and ends with these three resorts for now, so pair a Siem Reap stop with a country that has a deeper bench. Chiang Mai offers a similar mix of temples and resort pools a short flight away, while Bangkok has the region's widest selection of hotel pool day passes if you want more choice on the same trip.
